Scene IX.
THE STREET.Lelius and Fabius.
Fabius.
You return, then, to this street.
Lelius.
Yes; the life that I deplore
174
Where 'twas lost. Ah! guide my feet,
Love, to find it!—
Fabius.
That house there
Is Justina's; come away.
Lelius.
Wherefore, when I will to-day
Once again my love declare.
And as she, I saw it plain,
Trusted some one else at night,
'Tis not strange, in open light,
That I try to soothe my pain.
Leave me, go; for it is best
That I enter here alone.
My rank in Antioch is known,
My father Governor; thus drest
In his robe as 'twere, my strong
Passion listening to no mentor,
I Justina's house will enter
To protest against my wrong.
[Exeunt.
