The promis'd Fight, I left Alonzo too
To stand the War, and quell a World alone. [Trumpets.

Leon.The Victor comes. My Lord, I must withdraw.

Car.Sure, there's no Peril but in Love. Oh! how
My Foes wou'd boast to see me look so pale!

Enter Alonzo.
Car.Alonzo!
Alon.Carlos!—I am whole again
Claspt in thy Arms, it makes my Heart entire.
Claspt in thy Arms, it makes my Heart entire.
Car.Whom dare I thus embrace, The Conqueror of Africk?
Alon.Yes, much more, Don Carlos' Friend.
The Conquest of the World would cost me dear,
Should it beget one Thought of Distance in thee.
I rise in Virtues to come nearer thee.
I conquer with Don Carlos in my Eye,
And thus I claim my Victory's Reward. [Embracing him.

Car.A Victory indeed! Your godlike Arm

Car.I love fair Leonora. How I love her!
Yet still I find (I know not how it is)
Another Heart, another Soul for thee.
Thy Friendship warms, it raises, it transports
Like Musick, pure the Joy, without Allay,
Whose very Rapture is Tranquillity:
But Love, like Wine, gives a tumultuous Bliss,
Heighten'd indeed beyond all Mortal Pleasures;
But mingles Pangs and Madness in the Bowl.
