Pis. What is’t you mean by this return, Alcippus?
Alcip. To see Erminia, is not that enough To one in love, as I am?
Pis. But, Sir, suppose you find Philander there?
Alcip. Then I suppose I shall not much approve on’t.
Pis. You would be at your last night’s rage again. Alcippus, this will ruin you for ever, Nor is it all the Power you think you have Can save you, if he once be disoblig’d. Believe me ‘twas the Princess’ passion for you Made up that breach last night.
Alcip. All this I know as well as you, Pisaro,
But will not be abus’d; alas, I’m lost:
Could I recal these two last days are past,
Ah, I should be my self again, Pisaro.
I would refuse these Fetters which I wear,
And be a Slave to nothing but to Glory.
Pis. That were a Resolution worthy of you. —But come, ‘tis late, what you resolve conclude.
Alcip. I am resolv’d I will not to the Camp, A secret inclination does persuade me To visit my Erminia to night.
Pis. Comes it from Love or Jealousy?
Alcip. The first, good faith, Pisaro; thou’rt so fearful— You shall to th’.amp before, And I’ll be with you early in the Morning.
