Sar. I perish—as is probable: well thought—
Let them set forth with a sure escort.
Sal.That
Is all provided, and the galley ready
To drop down the Euphrates; but ere they
Depart, will you not see——
Sar.My sons? It may210
Unman my heart, and the poor boys will weep;
And what can I reply to comfort them,
Save with some hollow hopes, and ill-worn smiles?
