If with a holy fire thou lov'st thy sister,

Aspiring but to fame, not sinking down

Into the abyss of lust unnatural,

Consent that she may be Don Garcia's wife;

Else give the lie to all thy fair pretences,

And stand exposed a monster of mankind.

Foul as the fiends which fell from heaven's high towers,

Fall thou from empire so; and from my sight

Depart, accursed for ever.

Alph. Gladly I leave you, but shall go more lightly,
