SCENE IX.

Enter Selene.
Sel.
Such boldness in the palace? hold, Araspes,
Thus to Selene wilt thou keep thy faith?
And thus, O traitor, guard Æneas' life?

Æn.
No, princess, never yet Araspes' bosom
Could harbour treason.

Sel.
He, who serves Iarbas,
Can never sure be faithful.

Aras.
Fair Selene,
You only dare accuse me.

Sel.
Peace, and leave me.

Aras.
With silent awe I bend to thee,
But, ah! thou wrong'st my truth, on me
To fix a traitor's stain.
Far, far, be hence my steps address'd,
Yet soon, I trust, thy gentle breast,
Will mourn its past disdain.

[Exit.
