ACT V.
Scene I.—Rose Hill. The garden before Prof. Olney's house. Young Henry Bolton and Isabelle; she is weeping. Time morning.
Henry Bolton (aside).
I cannot leave her in this agony,
(looks at his watch,)
And yet the hour is nearly out. O Time!
Turn back thy sands! take months from out my life
For moments spared me now. I cannot leave her.
(To her.) Dear Isabelle, be comforted; I'll go
And tell my father this sad tale you've told me.
Fear not; he has a soul of nobleness—
He will consent; and, when you are my wife,
You'll have a host of friends.
Isabelle.
