SCENE XVI.

Roxana, Sebastes.
Seb.
[aside.]
This anger may avail me.

Rox.
Oh! Sebastes,
Could I revenge myself for Xerxes' falsehood—

Seb.
The means are ready. If my faithful friends
But join with yours, your vengeance is secur'd,
And Persia's sceptre is at our disposal.

Rox.
What friends hast thou to offer me.

Seb.
The bands
Of numerous malecontents, in Egypt rais'd,
On me depend: Orontes is their leader,
By me elected, and at my command:
Peruse this paper late from him receiv'd.

[gives a paper.
Rox.
Go, friend; await me now in my apartment,
I'll join thee soon. 'Twere dangerous here with thee
To hold such converse.

Seb.
May I then presume
To hope—

Rox.
Away.—Fear not, I will be grateful:
I owe thee much and well I know thou lov'st me.

Seb.
[aside.]
At length my hopes have found a happy hour.

[Exit.
