Prince. Oh, Lejere—can this be possible? Can there be such a Woman?
Geo. Follow him, Sir, and see—
Prince. See what!—be witness of her Infamy? Hell! Hell, and all the Fires of Lust possess her! when she’s so old and leud, all Mankind shun her.—I’ll be a Coward in my own dire Revenge, and use no manly Mercy.—But oh, I faint, I faint with Rage and Love, which like two meeting Tides, swell into Storms.—Bear me a minute to my Couch within.
Geo. What have I done! now I repent my Rashness.
[Scene II.] Draws off, discovers Mirtilla at her Toylet, dress’d.
Enter Manage, leading Olivia in as Endymion, who falls at Mirtilla’s Feet, whilst she’s there, sings a Song; she takes him up.
Mir. Rise,—When Lovers are alone they pardon Ceremony.—I sent for you to end the Night with me; say—how shall we employ it?
Oliv. I’ll sigh, and gaze upon your lovely Face.
Mir. Nothing but sigh, and gaze; we shall grow dull.
