Should wear the chiefest pearl to mortals cast—

Sweet Beauty's sole extravagance—as 'twere

A something to be stained with human love

And gods not question it? Who then could see

It made the common booty of a thief,

Nor break the cable of a mind controlled

And lose the shore of reason? Who?

Ara. [Kneeling] Be calm

If thou wouldst help me.

Aris. [Not heeding] Pity, weep, weep, weep!
