SCENE XI.

Sylvia
alone.
What can this mean? He's gone, but still remains
Before my eyes: he's gone, but still my thoughts
Pursue where'er he goes. Why am I thus
Disturb'd, yet know not where this passion tends?
410

What is this, alas! I prove,
Pain or pleasure at my heart?
If 'tis pain that thus can move,
O how pleasing is the smart.
'Tis a pain that lulls to rest,
Every other thought disarms,
Yet awakens in my breast
New desires and soft alarms.
