ACT V.
SCENE I.—A chamber royal, an Indian hammock discovered in it.
Enter ODMAR with soldiers, GUYOMAR, and ALIBECH bound.
Odm. Fate is more just than you to my desert, And in this act you blame, heaven takes my part.
Guy. Can there be gods, and no revenge provide?
Odm. The gods are ever of the conquering side: She's now my queen; the Spaniards have agreed, I to my father's empire shall succeed.
Alib. How much I crowns contemn, I let thee see, Chusing the younger, and refusing thee.
Guy. Were she ambitious, she'd disdain to own
The pageant pomp of such a servile throne;
A throne, which thou by parricide dost gain,
And by a base submission must retain.
Alib. I loved thee not before; but, Odmar, know, That now I hate thee, and despise thee too.
Odm. With too much violence you crimes pursue,
Which if I acted, 'twas for love of you.
This, if it teach not love, may teach you fear:
I brought not sin so far, to stop it here.
Death in a lover's mouth would sound but ill:
But know, I either must enjoy, or kill.
