The REVENGE.
Are languid Eloquence, I'll seek Relief
In Absence from the Pain of so much Goodness,
There thank the Blest above, thy sole Superiors,
Adore, and raise my Thoughts of them by thee. [Exit.

Zan.Thus far Success has crown'd my boldest Hope.
My next Care is to hasten these new Nuptials,
And then my Master-works begin to play.
Why this was greatly done, without one Sigh [To Car.
To carry such a Glory to its Period.

Car.Too soon thou praisest me. He's gone, and now
I must unsluice my overburden'd Heart,
And let it flow. I would not grieve my Friend
With Tears; nor interrupt my great Design,
Great sure as ever human Breast durst think of.
But now my Sorrows, long with Pain supprest,
Burst their Confinement with impetuous Sway,
O'er-swell all Bounds, and bear ev'n Life away.
So till the Day was won, the Greek renown'd
With Anguish wore the Arrow in his Wound,
Then drew the Shaft from out his tortur'd Side,
Let gush the Torrent of his Blood, and dy'd.
