PROLOGUE.

[]
Spoken by Mr. WESTON.
He peeps in at the Stage Door.
HIP! muſic! muſic!—Have you more to play?
Somewhat I'd offer—Stop your cat-gut, pray.
Will you permit, and not pronounce me rude,
A bookſeller one moment to intrude?
My name is Fools-cap:—Since you ſaw me laſt,
Fortune hath given me a rare helping caſt.
To all my toils a wife hath put a ſtop—
A devil then; but now I keep a ſhop.
My maſter died, poor man!—He's out of print!
His widow,—ſhe had eyes and took my hint.
A prey to grief, ſhe could not bear to be,
And ſo turn'd over a new leaf with me.
I drive a trade; have authors in my pay,
Men of all work, per week, per ſheet, per day.
TRAV'LLERS—who not one foreign country know:
And PAST'RAL POETS—in the ſound of Bow.
TRANSLATORS—From the Greek they never read
CANTABS and SOPHS—in Covent Garden bred.
HISTORIANS, who can't write;—who only take
Sciſſars and paſte;—cut, vamp; a book they make.
I've treated for this play; can buy it too,
If I could learn what you intend to do.
If for nine nights you'll bear this tragic ſtuff;
I have a news-paper, and there can puff.
A news-paper does wonders!—None can be
In debt, in love, dependant or quite free,
Ugly or handſome, well, or ill in bed,
Single or married, or alive or dead,
But we give life, death, virtue, vice with eaſe;
In ſhort a news-paper does what we pleaſe.
[6]
There jealous authors at each other bark;
Till truth leaves not one glimpſe, no, not one ſpark;
But lies meet lies and juſtle in the dark.
Our bard within has often felt the dart
Sent from our quiver, levell'd at his heart.
I've preſs'd him, ere he plays this deſp'rate game,
To anſwer all, and vindicate his name.
But he, convinc'd that all but truth muſt die,
Leaves to its own mortality the lie.
Would any know,—while parties fight pellmell,
How he employs his pen?—his play will tell.
To that he truſts; that he ſubmits to you,
Aim'd at your tend'reſt feelings,—moral,—new.
The ſcenes, he hopes, will draw the heart-felt tear;
Scenes that come home to ev'ry boſom here.
If this will do, I'll run and buy it ſtraight;
Stay—Let me ſee;—I think I'd better wait—
Yes;—I'll lie ſnug, till you have fix'd it's fate.

EPILOGUE.

Written by a FRIEND,
And Spoken by MISS YOUNGE.
THE GRECIAN DAUGHTER'S compliments to all;
Begs that for Epilogue you will not call;
For leering, giggling would be out of ſeaſon,
And hopes by me you'll hear a little reaſon.
A father rais'd from death, a nation ſav'd,
A tyrant's crimes by female ſpirit brav'd,
That tyrant ſtabb'd, and by her nerveleſs arm,
While Virtue's ſpell ſurrounding guards could charm!
[7]
Can ſhe, this ſacred tumult in her breaſt,
Turn Father, Freedom, Virtue, all to jeſt?
Wake you, ye fair ones, from your ſweet repoſe,
As wanton zephyrs wake the ſleeping roſe;
Diſpel thoſe clouds, which o'er your eyelids crept,
Which our wiſe Bard miſtook, and ſwore you wept.
Shall ſhe to MACARONIES life reſtore,
Who yawn'd, half dead, and curs'd the tragic BORE?
Diſmiſs 'em, ſmirking, to their nightly haunt,
Where dice and cards their moon-ſtruck minds enchant?
Some muffled, like the witches in Macbeth,
Brood o'er the magic circle, pale as death!
Others, the cauldron go about—about—
And Ruin enters, as the Fates run out!
Bubble, bubble,
Toil and trouble,
Paſſions burn,
And bets are double!
Double! double!
Toil and trouble,
Paſſions burn,
And all is bubble!
But jeſts apart, for ſcandal forms theſe tales,
Falſehood be mute—let Juſtice hold her ſcales:
Britons were ne'er enſlav'd by evil powr's;
To peace, and wedded love, they give their midnight hours;
From ſlumbers pure, no rattling dice can wake 'em!
Who make the laws, were never known to break 'em.
'Tis falſe, ye fair, whatever ſpleen may ſay,
That you down Folly's tide are borne away;
You never wiſh at deep diſtreſs to ſneer;
For eyes, tho' bright, are brighter thro' a tear.
Should it e'er be this Nation's wretched fate
To laugh at all that's good, and wiſe, and great;
Arm'd at all points, let Genius take the field,
And on the ſtage afflicted Virtue ſhield,
Drive from the land each baſe unworthy paſſion,
Till Virtue triumph in deſpite of Faſhion.

Dramatis Perſonae.

Scene, SYRACUSE.

THE GRECIAN DAUGHTER:

[]

ACT I.

Enter MELANTHON, and PHILOTAS.
Melan.
YET, yet a moment; hear, Philotas, hear me.
Philo.
No more; it muſt not be.
Melan.
Obdurate man!
Thus wilt thou ſpurn me, when a king diſtreſs'd;
A good, a virtuous, venerable king,
The father of his people, from a throne
Which long with ev'ry virtue he adorn'd,
Torn by a ruffian, by a tyrant's hand,
Groans in captivity? In his own palace
Lives a ſequeſter'd priſoner?—Oh! Philotas,
If thou ha'ſt not renounc'd humanity;
Let me behold my ſov'reign; once again
Admit me to his preſence, let me ſee
My royal maſter.
Philo.
Urge thy ſuit no further;
Thy words are fruitleſs; Dionyſius' orders
Forbid acceſs; he is our ſov'reign now;
'Tis his to give the law, mine to obey.
Melan.
[2]
Thou can'ſt not mean it—his to give the law!
Deteſted ſpoiler!—his!—a vile uſurper!
Have we forgot the elder Dionyſius,
Surnam'd the Tyrant? To Sicilia's throne
The monſter waded thro' whole ſeas of blood.
Sore groan'd the land beneath his iron rod,
Till rous'd at length Evander came from Greece,
Like Freedom's Genius came, and ſent the tyrant
Stript of the crown, and to his humble rank
Once more reduc'd, to roam, for vile ſubſiſtence,
A wandering ſophiſt, thro' the realms of Greece.
Philo.
Melanthon, yes; full clearly I remember
The ſplendid day, when all rejoicing Sicily
Hail'd her deliverer.
Melan.
Shall the tyrant's ſon
Deduce a title from the father's guilt?
Philotas, thou wert once the friend of goodneſs;
Thou art a Greek; fair Corinth gave thee birth;
I mark'd thy growing youth; I need not tell,
With what an equal ſway Evander reign'd,
How juſt, how upright, generous and good!
From ev'ry region bards and ſages came;
Whate'er of ſcience ancient Egypt ſtor'd,
All that the Eaſt had treaſur'd; all that Greece
Of moral wiſdom taught, and Plato's voice
Was heard in Sicily. Shall Dionyſius
Extinguiſh ev'ry virtue in the land,
Bow to his yoke the necks of freeborn men,
And here perpetuate a tyrant's reign?
Philo.
Whate'er his right, to him in Syracuſe
All bend the knee; his the ſupreme dominion,
And death and torment wait his ſovreign nod.
Mel.
But ſoon that Pow'r ſhall ceaſe; behold his walls
Now cloſe encircled by the Grecian bands;
[3]Timoleon leads them on; indignant Corinth
Sends her avenger forth, array'd in terror,
To hurl ambition from a throne uſurp'd,
And bid all Sicily reſume her rights.
Philo.
Thou wert a ſtateſman once, Melanthon; now
Grown dim with age, thy eye pervades no more
The deep-laid ſchemes which Dionyſius plans.
Know then, a fleet from Carthage even now
Stems the rough billow, and, e'er yonder ſun,
That now declining ſeeks the Weſtern wave,
Shall to the ſhades of night reſign the world,
Thou'lt ſee the Punic ſails in yonder bay,
Whoſe waters waſh the walls of Syracuſe.
Melan.
Art thou a ſtranger to Timoleon's name?
Intent to plan, and circumſpect to ſee
All poſſible events, he ruſhes on
Reſiſtleſs in his courſe! Your boaſted maſter
Scarce ſtands at bay; each hour the ſtrong blockade
Hems him in cloſer, and e'er long thou'lt view
Oppreſſion's iron rod to fragments ſhiver'd!
The good Evander then—
Philo.
Alas, Evander!—
Will ne'er behold the golden time you look for.
Melan.
How! not behold it! Say, Philotas, ſpeak;
Has the fell tyrant, have his felon murderers—
Philo.
As yet, my friend, Evander lives.
Melan.
And yet
Thy dark half-hinted purpoſe—Lead me to him—
If thou haſt murder'd him—
Philo.
By Heav'n he lives.
Melan.
Then bleſs me with one tender interview.
Thrice has the ſun gone down, ſince laſt theſe eyes
Have ſeen the good old king; ſay, why is this?
[4]Wherefore debarr'd his preſence? Thee, Philotas,
The troops obey that guard the royal pris'ner;
Each avenue to thee is open; thou
Can'ſt grant admittance; let me, let me ſee him.
Philo.
Entreat no more; the ſoul of Dionyſius
Is ever wakeful; rent with all the pangs
That wait on conſcious guilt.
Melan.
But when dun night—
Philo.
Alas! it cannot be—But mark my words.
Let Greece urge on her general aſſault.
Diſpatch ſome friend, who may o'er-leap the walls,
And tell Timoleon, the good old Evander
Has liv'd three days, by Dionyſius' order,
Lock'd up from ev'ry ſuſtenance of nature,
And life, now wearied out, almoſt expires.
Melan.
If any ſpark of virtue dwell within thee,
Lead me, Philotas, lead me to his priſon.
Philo.
The tyrant's jealous care hath mov'd him thence.
Melan.
Ha! mov'd him, ſay'ſt thou?
Philo.
At the midnight hour,
Silent convey'd him up the ſteep aſcent,
To where the elder Dionyſius form'd,
On the ſharp ſummit of the pointed rock,
Which overhangs the deep, a dungeon drear;
Cell within cell, a labyrinth of horror,
Deep cavern'd in the cliff, where many a wretch,
Unſeen by mortal eye, has groan'd in anguiſh,
And died obſcure, unpitied, and unknown.
Melan.
Clandeſtine murderer! Yes, there's the ſcene
Of horrid maſſacre. Full oft I've walk'd,
When all things lay in ſleep and darkneſs huſh'd,
Yes, oft I've walk'd the lonely ſullen beach,
And heard the mournful ſound of many a corſe
[5]Plung'd from the rock into the wave beneath,
That murmur'd on the ſhore. And means he thus
To end a monarch's life? Oh! grant my pray'r;
My timely ſuccour may protract his days;
The guard is yours—
Philo.
Forbear; thou plead'ſt in vain;
I muſt not yield; it were aſſur'd deſtruction;
Farewell, diſpatch a meſſage to the Greeks;
I'll to my ſtation; now thou know'ſt the worſt.
Exit.
MELANTHON.
Oh! loſt Evander! Loſt Euphraſia too!
How will her gentle nature bear the ſhock
Of a dear father, thus in lingring pangs
A prey to famine, like the verieſt wretch
Whom the hard hand of miſery hath grip'd!
In vain ſhe'll rave with impotence of ſorrow;
Perhaps provoke her fate;—Greece arms in vain,
All's loſt; Evander dies.—
Enter CALLIPPUS.
Calip.
Where is the king?
Our troops, that ſallied to attack the foe,
Retire diſordered; to the eaſtern gate
The Greeks purſue; Timoleon rides in blood;
Arm, arm, and meet their fury.
Melan.
To the citadel
Direct thy footſteps; Dionyſius there
Marſhalls a choſen band.
Calip.
Do thou call forth
Thy hardy Vetrans; haſte, or all is loſt.
Exit.
Warlike muſ [...]c.
MELANTHON.
[6]
Now, ye juſt Gods, now look propitious down;
Now give the Grecian ſabre tenfold edge,
And ſave a virtuous king.
Warlike muſick
Enter EUPHRASIA.
Euphra.
War on ye heroes,
Ye great aſſerters of a monarch's cauſe!
Let the wild tempeſt riſe. Melanthon, ha!
Did'ſt thou not hear the vaſt tremendous roar?
Down tumbling from it's baſe the eaſtern tow'r.
Burſt on the tyrant's ranks, and on the plain
Lies an extended ruin.
Melan.
Still new horrors
Increaſe each hour, and gather round our heads.
Euphra.
The glorious tumult liſts my tow'ring ſoul.
Once more, Melanthon, once again, my father
Shall mount Sicilia's throne.
Melan.
Alas! that hour
Would come with joy to ev'ry honeſt heart,
Would ſhed divineſt bleſſings from it's wing;
But no ſuch hour in all the round of time,
I fear, the fates averſe will e'er lead on.
Euphra.
And ſtill, Melanthon, ſtill does pale deſpair
Depreſs thy ſpirit? Lo! Timoleon comes
Arm'd with the pow'r of Greece; the brave, the juſt,
God-like Timoleon! ardent to redreſs,
He guides the war, and gains upon his prey.
A little interval ſhall ſet the victor
Within our gates triumphant.
Melan.
[7]
Still my fears
Forebode for thee. Would thou had'ſt left this place,
When hence your huſband, the brave Phocion fled,
Fled with your infant ſon.
Euphra.
In duty fix'd,
Here I remain'd, while my brave gen'rous Phocion
Fled with my child, and from his mother's arms
Bore my ſweet little one.—Full well thou know'ſt
The pangs I ſuffer'd in that trying moment;
Did I not weep? Did I not rave and ſhriek,
And by the roots tear my diſhevell'd hair?
Did I not follow to the ſea-beat ſhore,
Reſolv'd with him and with my blooming boy
To truſt the winds and waves?
Melan.
Deem not, Euphraſia,
I e'er can doubt thy conſtancy and love.
Euphra.
Melanthon, how I loved, the Gods who ſaw
Each ſecret image that my fancy form'd,
The Gods can witneſs how I lov'd my Phocion.
And yet I went not with him. Could I do it?
Could I deſert my father? Could I leave
The venerable man, who gave me being,
A victim here in Syracuſe, nor ſtay
To watch his fate, to viſit his affliction,
To cheer his priſon-hours, and with the tear
Of filial virtue bid ev'n bondage ſmile?
Melan.
The pious act, whate'er the fates intend,
Shall merit heartfelt praiſe.
Euphra.
Yes, Phocion, go,
Go with my child, torn from this matron breaſt,
This breaſt that ſtill ſhould yield it's nurture to him,
Fly with my infant to ſome happier ſhore.
If he be ſafe, Euphraſia dies content.
[8]Till that ſad cloſe of all, the taſk be mine
To tend a father with delighted care,
To ſmooth the pillow of declining age,
See him ſink gradual into mere decay,
On the laſt verge of life watch ev'ry look,
Explore each fond unutterable wiſh,
Catch his laſt breath, and cloſe his eyes in peace.
Melan.
I would not add to thy afflictions; yet
My heart miſgives;—Evander's fatal period—
Euphra.
Still is far off; the Gods have ſent relief,
And once again I ſhall behold him king.
Mel.
Alas! this dream of hope at length may waken
To deep deſpair.
Euphra.
The ſpirit-ſtirring virtue
That glows within me, ne'er ſhall know deſpair.
No, I will truſt the Gods. Deſponding man!
Haſt thou not heard with what reſiſtleſs ardour
Timoleon drives the tumult of the war?
Haſt thou not heard him thund'ring at our gates?
The tyrant's pent up in his laſt retreat;
Anon thou'lt ſee his battlements in duſt,
His walls, his ramparts, and his tow'rs in ruin;
Deſtruction pouring in on ev'ry ſide,
Pride and oppreſſion at their utmoſt need,
And nought to ſave him in his hopeleſs hour.
A flouriſh of trumpets.
Melan.
Ha! the fell tyrant comes—Beguile his rage,
And o'er your ſorrows caſt a dawn of gladneſs.
Enter DIONYSIUS, CALIPPUS, OFFICERS, &c.
Di.
The vain preſumptuous Greek! His hopes of conqueſt,
Like a gay dream, are vaniſh'd into air.
Proudly elate, and fluſh'd with eaſy triumph
[9]O'er vulgar warriors, to the gates of Syracuſe
He urg'd the war, till Dionyſius' arm
Let ſlaughter looſe, and taught his daſtard train
To ſeek their ſafety by inglorious flight.
Euphra.
O Dionyſius, if diſtracting fears
Alarm this throbbing boſom, you will pardon
A frail and tender ſex. Should ruthleſs war
Roam through our ſtreets, and riot here in blood,
Where ſhall the loſt Euphraſia find a ſhelter?
In vain ſhe'll kneel, and claſp the ſacred altar.
O let me then, in mercy let me ſeek
The gloomy manſion, where my father dwells;
I die content, if in his arms I periſh.
Dion.
Thou lovely trembler, huſh thy fears to reſt.
The Greek recoils; like the impetuous ſurge
That daſhes on the rock, there breaks, and foams,
And backward rolls into the ſea again.
All ſhall be well in Syracuſe: a fleet
Appears in view, and brings the choſen ſons
Of Carthage. From the hill that fronts the harbour,
I ſaw their canvas ſwelling with the wind,
While on the purple wave the weſtern ſun
Glanc'd the remains of day.
Euphra.
Yet till the fury
Of war ſubſide, the wild, the horrid interval
In ſafety let me ſoothe to dear delight
In a lov'd father's preſence; from his ſight,
For three long days, with ſpecious feign'd excuſe
Your guards debarr'd me. Oh! while yet he lives,
Indulge a daughter's love; worn out with age
Soon muſt he ſeal his eyes in endleſs night,
And with his converſe charm my ear no more.
Dion.
[10]
Why thus anticipate misfortune? Still
Evander mocks the injuries of time.
Calippus, thou ſurvey the city round;
Station the centineſs, that no ſurpriſe
Invade the unguarded works, while drouzy night
Weighs down the ſoldier's eye. Afflicted fair,
Thy couch invites thee. When the tumult's o'er,
Thou'lt ſee Evander with redoubled joy.
Though now unequal to the cares of empire
His age ſequeſter him, yet honours high
Shall gild the ev'ning of his various day.
Euphra.
For this benignity accept my thanks.
They guſh in tears, and my heart pours it's tribute.
Dion.
Perdiccas, e'er the morn's revolving light
Unveil the face of things, do thou diſpatch
A well-oar'd galley to Hamilcar's fleet;
At the north point of yonder promontory
Let ſome ſelected officer inſtruct him
To moor his ſhips, and iſſue on the land.
Then may Timoleon tremble; vengeance then
Shall overwhelm his camp, purſue his bands
With fatal havoc to the ocean's margin,
And caſt their limbs to glut the vulture's famine
In mangled heaps upon the naked ſhore.
Exit Dionyſius.
EUPHRASIA, MILANTHON.
Euphra.
What do I hear? Melanthon, can it be?
If Carthage comes, if her perfidious ſons
Liſt in his cauſe, the dawn of freedom's gone.
Mel.
Woe, bitt'reſt woe impends; thou would'ſt not think—
Euphra.
How!—ſpeak!—unfold—
Melan.
My tongue denies it's office.
Euphra.
[11]
How is my father? Say, Melanthon—
Melan.
He,—
Perhaps he dies this moment.—Since Timoleon
Firſt form'd his lines round this beleaguer'd city,
No nutriment has touched Evander's lips.
In the deep caverns of the rock impriſon'd
He pines in bitt'reſt want.
Euphra.
To that abode
Of woe and horror, that laſt ſtage of life,
Has the fell tyrant mov'd him?
Melan.
There ſequeſter'd,
Alas! he ſoon muſt periſh.
Euphra.
Well, my heart, Well do your vital drops forget to flow.
Melan.
Enough his ſword has reek'd with public ſlaughter;
Now dark inſiduous deeds muſt thin mankind.
Euphra.
Oh! night, that oft haſt heard my piercing ſhrieks,
Diſturb thy awful ſilence; oft has heard
Each ſtroke theſe hands in frantic ſorrow gave
From this ſad breaſt reſounding, now no more
I mean to vent complaints; I mean not now
With buſy mem'ry to retrace the wrongs
His hand hath heap'd on our devoted race.
I bear it all; with calmeſt patience bear it:
Reſign'd and wretched, deſperate and loſt.
Melan.
Deſpair, alas! is all the ſad reſource Our fate allows us now.
Euphra.
Yet why deſpair?
Is that the tribute to a father due?
[12]Blood is his due, Melanthon; yes, the blood,
The vile, black blood, that fills the tyrant's veins,
Would graceful look upon my dagger's point.
Come, vengeance, come, ſhake off this feeble ſex,
Sinew my arm, and guide it to his heart.
And thou, O filial piety, that rul'ſt
My woman's breaſt, turn to vindictive rage;
Aſſume the port of juſtice; ſhew mankind
Tyrannic guilt hath never dar'd in Syracuſe,
Beyond the reach of virtue.
Melan.
Yet beware;
Controul this frenzy that bears down your reaſon.
Surrounded by his guards, the tyrant mocks
Your utmoſt fury; moderate your zeal,
Nor let him hear theſe tranſports of the ſoul,
Theſe wild upbraidings.
Euphra.
Shall Euphraſia's voice
Be huſh'd to ſilence, when a father dies?
Shall not the monſter hear his deeds accurſt?
Shall he not tremble, when a daughter comes,
Wild with her griefs, and terrible with wrongs,
Fierce in deſpair, all nature in her cauſe
Alarm'd and rouz'd to vengeance?—Yes, Melanthon,
The man of blood ſhall hear me; yes, my voice
Shall mount aloft upon the whirlwind's wing,
Pierce yon blue vault, and bring the thund'rer down,
Melanthon come; my wrongs will lend me force;
The weakneſs of my ſex is gone; this arm
Feels tenfold ſtrength; this arm ſhall do a deed
For Heav'n and earth, for men and gods to wonder at:
This arm ſhall vindicate a father's cauſe.
END OF THE FIRST ACT.

ACT II.

[13]
A wild romantic Scene amidſt overhanging Rocks; a Cavern on one Side.
ARCAS, with a Spear in his Hand.
THE gloom of night ſits heavy on the world;
And o'er the ſolemn ſcene ſuch ſtillneſs reigns,
As 'twere a pauſe of nature; on the beach
No murmuring billow breaks; the Grecian tents
Lie ſunk in ſleep; no gleaming fires are ſeen;
All Syracuſe is huſh'd; no ſtir abroad,
Save ever and anon the daſhing oar,
That beats the ſullen wave. And hark!—Was that
The groan of anguiſh from Evander's cell,
Piercing the midnight gloom?—It is the ſound
Of buſtling prows, that cleave the briny deep.
Perhaps at this dead hour Hamilcar's fleet
Rides in the bay.
Enter PHILOTAS, from the Cavern.
Philo.
What ho!—brave Arcas!—ho!
Arcas.
Why thus deſert thy couch?
Philo.
Methought the ſound Of diſtant uproar chas'd affrighted ſleep.
Arcas.
At intervals the oar's reſounding ſtroke
[14]Comes ecchoing from the main. Save that report,
A death-like ſilence thro' the wide expanſe
Broods o'er the dreary coaſt.
Philo.
Do thou retire,
And ſeek repoſe; the duty of thy watch
Is now perform'd; I take thy poſt.
Arcas.
How fares
Your royal pris'ner?
Philo.
Arcas, ſhall I own
A ſecret weakneſs?—My heart inward melts
To ſee that ſuff'ring virtue. On the earth,
The cold, dank earth, the royal victim lies;
And while pale famine drinks his vital ſpirit,
He welcomes death, and ſmiles himſelf to reſt.
Oh! would I could relieve him! Thou withdraw;
Thy wearied nature claims repoſe; and now
The watch is mine.
Arcas.
May no alarm diſturb thee.
Exit.
PHILOTAS.
Some dread event is lab'ring into birth.
At cloſe of day the ſullen ſky held forth
Unerring ſignals.—With diſaſtrous glare
The moon's full orb roſe crimſon'd o'er with blood;
And lo! athwart the gloom a falling ſtar
Trails a long tract of fire!—What daring ſtep
Sounds on the flinty rock? Stand there; what ho!
Speak, ere thou dar'ſt advance?
[15] Enter EUPHRASIA, with a Lanthorn in her Hand.
Euphra.
Thou need'ſt not fear;
It is a friend approaches.
Philo.
Ha! what mean
Thoſe plaintive notes?
Euphra.
Here is no ambuſh'd Greek,
No warrior to ſurprize thee on the watch.
An humble ſuppliant comes—Alas! my ſtrength
Exhauſted quite forſakes this weary frame,
Philo.
What voice thus piercing thro' the gloom of night—
What art thou?—Speak, unfold thy purpoſe; ſay,
What wretch, with what intent, at this dead hour—
Wherefore alarm'ſt thou thus our peaceful watch?
Euphra.
Let no miſtruſt affright thee.—Lo! a wretch,
The verieſt wretch that ever groan'd in anguiſh,
Comes here to grovel on the earth before thee,
To tell her ſad, ſad tale, implore thy aid,
For ſure the pow'r is thine, thou canſt relieve
My bleeding heart, and ſoften all my woes.
Philo.
Ha! ſure thoſe accents—
(takes the light from her.)
Euphra.
