SCENE XIII.

A view of the imperial palace on fire; the flames breaking out from several parts of the building: some part in ruins. Time, night.
Osrhoes comes from the palace, with a lighted torch in his right hand and a sword drawn in his left. A train of Parthians with lighted torches.
Osr.
Intrepid Parthians! Heaven propitious smiles
Upon our bold attempt: turn yet a moment
And view the ruins of yon hostile palace.
Amidst our loss this shadow of revenge
Is some relief—Behold the bursting fires!
180

What wreaths of smoke and flame ascend the sky!
O! would to all the Gods, yon walls that now
The Parthian rage destroys, within them held
The senators, the capitol, and Rome!
