Amint. Thou monster of cruelty, forbear.
Evad. For heavens sake look more calm; Thine eyes are sharper than thou canst make thy sword.
Amint. Away, away, thy knees are more to me than violence.
I am worse than sick to see knees follow me
For that I must not grant; for heavens sake stand.
Evad. Receive me then.Amint. I dare not stay thy language;
In midst of all my anger and my grief,
Thou dost awake something that troubles me,
And sayes I lov'd thee once; I dare not stay;
There is no end of womens reasoning.
[Leaves her.
Evad. Amintor, thou shalt love me once again; Go, I am calm; farewell; and peace for ever. Evadne whom thou hat'st will die for thee.
[Kills her self.
Amint. I have a little humane nature yet
That's left for thee, that bids me stay thy hand.
[Returns.
Evad. Thy hand was welcome, but came too late;
Oh I am lost! the heavy sleep makes haste.
[She dies.
