Which in her gentlest moments nature fram’d.

This work achiev’d, each lord his aid shall lend;

And to my will the haughtiest crest shall bend.

Enter Flavia and Pascentius.

Fla. Oh, heav’ns! in thy great mercy thou hast led me

To that dear object I so long have sought,

Through ev’ry secret winding o’th’ palace.
