SCENE XVI.

Sebastes
alone.
Heaven smiles upon me, since Aspasia now
In Xerxes finds a lover, and resentment
Has warm'd Roxana's breast.—The care be mine
To cherish love in Xerxes, and in her
To increase the jealous fury.—Should she once
Be rous'd to wish revenge, I then may risk
A deed of high import.—My numerous friends
With her's united soon might make Sebastes
Even fear'd by Xerxes.—To the Persian throne
103

I may perhaps—Who knows?—'Tis true I own
That hope is ever daring; but we find
That fortune and that boldness oft unite.
Though rash was he who durst explore
The threatening waves unplough'd before,
And sought to find a distant shore
In regions long unknown:
Yet had the sailor ne'er defied
With venturous oar the roaring tide,
What treasures still, in lands untried,
Had ne'er been made our own.

[Exit.
