Nor threats, nor force, nor promises, nor fears,

Should take me from your love.

Alph. Oh, I believe you.—

Vanish my fears, and causeless jealousies!

Live, my Victoria, for yourself, not me,

But let the unfortunate Alphonso die;

My death will glut your cruel father's rage.

When I am gone, and his revenge complete,

Pity, perhaps, may seize a parent's mind,

To free you from a hated lover's arms.
