Er. But, Sir, pray where’s my Murderer? for yet A better name I cannot well afford him.
Gal. All that we know of him,
Pisaro now inform’d me,
Who came just as he thought he had murder’d thee,
And begg’d he would provide for his own safety.
But he who gave him sober promises,
No sooner found himself out of his arms,
But frantick and i’th’ dark he got away.
But out o’th’ Court he knows he cannot pass
At this dead time of night;
But he believes he is i’th’ Groves or Gardens,
And thither he is gone to find him out.
Alcan. This is no place to make a longer stay in, The King has many Spies about the Prince, ’.were good you would retire to your Apartment.
Gal. We’ll take your Counsel, Sir. —Good night, Brother.
Phi. Erminia, may thy Dreams be calm and sweet,
As thou hast made my Soul;
May nothing of the Cruelty that’s past,
Approach thee in a rude uneasy thought;
Remember it not so much as in thy Prayers,
Let me alone to thank the Gods for thee,
To whom that Blessing only was ordain’d.
And when I lose my Gratitude to Heaven,
May they deprive me of the Joys they’ve given.
[Exeunt.
