But let not visions drive thy friend away.”—

“Hear me, Oh! hear me—Shall I wed my son?”— 880

“I am in fondness and obedience one;

And I will reverence, honour, love, adore,

Be all that fondest sons can be—and more;

And shall thy son, if such he be, proceed

To fierce encounters, and in battle bleed?

No; thou canst weep!”—

“O! leave me, I entreat; }

Leave me a moment—we shall quickly meet.”— }
