Alphonso, light of heart, upon the heath

Lay carelessly dispread, in happy dreams

Of home; his faithful Hoya slept beside.

Years and fatigue to old Siverian brought

Easy oblivion; and the Prince himself,

Yielding to weary nature’s gentle will,

Forgot his cares awhile. Florinda sate

Beholding Roderick with fix’d eyes intent,

Yet unregardant of the countenance

Whereon they dwelt; in other thoughts absorb’d,
