Cas. [Kneels.] Great power of Love! who spread'st thy gentle fire

Through human hearts, art every where adored;

Accept these vows, in show to Apis paid,

And make his altar thine! hear not that wretch,

Because his prayers were not addressed to thee;

Or only hear his last, that I may reign!

Make Cleomenes mine, and mine alone.

Give us a flight secure, a safe arrival,

And crown our wishes in each others arms.

Hear this, and firm it with some happy omen!
