Abd. Patience and I am Foes: where’s my Florella? The King! and in Florella’s Bed-Chamber! Florella dead too!— Rise, thou eternal Author of my Shame; Gay thing—to you I speak, [King rises. And thus throw off Allegiance.

Qu. Oh, stay your Fury, generous Abdelazer.

Abd. Away, fond Woman. [Throws her from him.

King. The Devil’s not yet ready for his Soul, And will not claim his due.—Oh, I am wounded. [Falls.

Abd. No doubt on’t, Sir, these are no Wounds of Love.
