Imperial sway But think it sin if they themselves obey Vasq. It seems then our Religion you accuse And peaceful homage to our King refuse Mont. Your gods I slight not but will keep my own My Crown is absolute and holds of none I cannot in a base subjection live Nor suffer you to take though I would give Cort. Is this your answer Sir Mont. This as a Prince bound to my Peoples and my Crowns defence I must return but as a man by you Redeem'd from death all gratitude is due Cort. It was an act my Honour bound me to But what I did were I again to do I could not do it on my Honours score For Love would now oblige me to do more Is no way left that we may yet agree Must I have War yet have no Enemy Vasq. He has refus'd all terms of Peace to take Mont. Since we must fight hear Heavens what Prayers I make First to preserve this Antient State and me But if your doom the fall of both decree Grant only he who has such Honour shown When I am dust may fill my empty Throne Cort. To make me happier than that wish can do Lies not in all your gods to grant but you Let this fair Princess but one minute stay A look from her will your obligements pay Exe●uteunt Mont. Odm.

Your duty in your quick return be shown Stay you and wait my Daughter to the Town To his Guards Cyd. is going but turns and looks back upon Cortez who is looking on her all this while Cyd. My Father 's gone and yet I cannot go Sure I have something lost or left behind Aside Cort. Like Travellers that wander in the Snow I on her beauty gaze till I am blind Aside Cyd. Thick breath quick pulse and heaving of my heart All signs of some unwonted change appear I find my self unwilling to depart And yet I know not why I would be here Stranger you raise such storms within my breast That when I go if I must go again I 'le tell my Father you have rob'd my rest And to him of your injuries complain Cort. Unknown I swear those wrongs were which I wrought But my complaints will much more just appear Who from another world my freedom brought And by your conquering Eyes have lost it here Cyd. Where is that other world from whence you came Cort. Beyond the Ocean far from hence it lies Cyd. Your other world I fear is then the same That souls must go to when the body dies But what 's the cause that keeps you here with me That I may know what keeps me here with you Cort. Mine is a love which must perpetual be If you can be so just as I am true Enter Orb. Orb. Your Father wonders much at your delay Cyd. So great a wonder for so small a stay Orb. He has commanded you with me to go Cyd. Has he not sent to bring the stranger too Orb. If he to morrow dares in fight appear His high plac'd Love perhaps may cost him dear Cort. Dares that word was never spoke to Spaniard yet But forfeited his Life that gave him it Hast quickly with thy pledge of safety hence Thy guilt 's protected by her innocence Cyd. Sure in some fatal hour my Love was born So soon o'rcast with absence in the morn Cort. Turn hence those pointed glories of your Eyes For if more charms beneath those Circles rise So weak my Vertue they so strong appear I shall turn ravisher to keep you here Exeunt Omnes ACT II. SCENE The Magitians Cave Enter Montezuma High Priest Mont. NOT that I fear the utmost Fate can do Come I th' event of doubtful War to know For Life and Death are things indifferent Each to be chose as either brings content My motive from a Nobler cause does spring Love rules my heart and is your Monarchs King I more desire to know Almeria's mind Then all that Heaven has for my state design'd High Pr. By powerful Charms which nothing can withstand I 'le force the Gods to tell what you demand Charm Thou Moon that aid'st us with thy Magick might And yea small Starrs the scattered seeds of light Dart your pale beams into this gloomy place That the sad powers of the Infernal race May read above what 's hid from Humane Eyes And in your walks see Empires fall and rise And ye Immortal Souls that once were Men And now resolv'd to Elements agen That wait for Mortal frames in depths below And did before what we are doom'd to do Once twice and thrice I wave my Sacred wand Ascend ascend ascend at my command An Earthy Spirit rises Spir. In vain O mortal men your Prayers implore The aid of powers below that want it more A God more strong who all the gods commands Drives us to exile from our Native Lands The Air swarms thick with wandring Deities Which drowsily like humming Beetles rise From our lov'd Earth where peacefully we slept And far from Heaven a long possession kept The frighted Satyrs that in Woods delight Now into Plains with prick'd up Ears take flight And scudding thence while they their horn-feet ply About their Syres the little Silvans cry A Nation loving Gold must rule this place Our Temples Ruine and our Rites Deface To them O King is thy lost Scepter given Now mourn thy fatal search for since wise Heaven More ill then good to Mortals does dispence It is not safe to have too quick a sense Descends Mont. Mourn they who think repining can remove The firm decrees of those that rule above The brave are safe within who still dare dye When e're I fall I 'le scorn my destiny Doom as they please my Empire not to stand I 'le grasp my Scepter with my dying hand High Pr. Those Earthy Spirits black and envious are I 'le call up other gods of form more fair Who Visions dress in pleasing Colours still Set all the good to show and hide the ill Kalib ascend my fair-spoke ●ervant rise And sooth my Heart with pleasing Prophecies Kalib ascends all in White in the shape of a Woman and Sings Kalib I look'd and saw within the Book of Fate Where many days did lower When lo one happy hour Leapt up and smil'd to save thy sinking State A day shall come when in thy power Thy cruel Foes shall be Then shall thy Land be free And thou in Peace shall Raign But take O take that opportunity Which once refus'd will never come again Descends Mont. I shall deserve my Fate if I refuse That happy hour which Heaven allots to use But of my Crown thou too much care do'st take That which I value more my Lov 's at stake High Pr. Arise ye subtle Spirits that can spy When Love is enter'd in a Females eye You that can read it in the midst of doubt And in the midst of frowns can find it out You that can search those many

Rivals bed Alm. If news be carried to the shades below The Indian Queen will be more pleas'd to know That I his scorns on him that scorn'd her pay Orb. Would you could right her some more noble way She turns to him who is kneeling all this while Mont. Madam this posture is for Heaven design'd Kneoling And what moves Heaven I hope may make you kind Alm. Heaven may be kind the Gods uninjur'd live And crimes below cost little to forgive By thee Inhumane both my Parents dy'd One by thy sword the other by thy pride Mont. My haughty mind no fate could ever bow Yet I must stoop to one that scorns me now Is there no pity to my sufferings due Alm. As much as what my mother found from you Mont. Your mothers wrongs a recompence shall meet I lay my Scepter at her Daughters feet Alm. He who does now my least commands obey Would call me Queen and take my pow'r away Odm. Can he hear this and not his Fetters break Is love so pow'rful or his soul so weak I 'le fright her from it Madam though you see The King is kind I hope your modesty Will know what distance to the Crown is due Alm. Distance and modesty prescrib'd by you Odm. Almeria dares not think such thoughts as these Alm. She dares both think and act what thoughts she please 'T is much below me on his Throne to sit But when I do you shall petition it Odm. If Sir Almeria does your bed partake ●●ourn for my forgotten mothers sake Mont. When Parents loves are order'd by a Son Let streams prescribe their fountains where to run Odm. In all I urge I keep my duty still Not rule your reason but instruct your will Mont. Small use of reason in that Prince is shown Who follows others and neglects his own Almeria to Orbellan and Alibech who are this while whispering to her Alm. No he shall ever love and always be The subject of my scorn and cruelty Orb. To prove the lasting torment of his life You must not be his Mistress but his Wife Few know what care an Husbands peace destroys His real griefs and his dissembled joys Alm. What mark of pleasing vengeance could be shown If I to break his quiet lose my own Orb. A brothers life upon your love relies Since I do homage to Cydarias eyes How can her Father to my hopes be kind If in your heart he no example find Alm. To save your life I 'le suffer any thing Yet I 'le not flatter this tempestuous King But work his stubborn soul a nobler way And if he love I 'le force him to obey I take this Garland not as given by you to Montez But as my merit and my beauties due As for the Crown that you my slave possess To share it with you would but make me less Enter Guyomar hastily Odm. My brother Guyomar methinks I spye Hast in his steps and wonder in his eye Mont. I sent thee to the frontiers quickly tell The cause of thy return are all things well Guy I went in order Sir to your command To view the utmost limits of the land To that Sea shore where no more world is found But foaming billows breaking on the ground Where for a while my eyes no object met But distant skies that in the Ocean set And low hung clouds that dipt themselves in rain To shake their fleeces on the earth again At last as far as I could cast my eyes Upon the Sea somewhat methought did rise Like blewish mists which still appearing more Took dreadful shapes and mov'd towards the shore Mont. What forms did these new wonders represent Guy More strange than what your wonder can invent The object I could first distinctly view Was tall straight trees which on the waters flew Wings on their sides instead of leaves did grow Which gather'd all the breath the winds could blow And at their roots grew floating Palaces Whose out-bow'd bellies cut the yielding Seas Mont. What Divine Monsters O ye gods were these That float in air and flye upon the Seas Came they alive or dead upon the shore Guy Alas they liv'd too sure I heard them roar All turn'd their sides and to each other spoke I saw their words break out in fire and smoke Sure 't is their voice that Thunders from on high Or these the younger brothers of the Skie Deaf with the noyse I took my hasty flight No mortal courage can support the fright High Pr. Old Prophecies foretel our fall at hand When bearded men in floating Castles Land I fear it is of dire portent Mont. Go see What it fore-shows and what the gods decree Mean time proceed we to what rites remain Odmar of all this presence does contain Give her your wreath whom you esteem most fair Odm. Above the rest I judge one beauty rare And may that beauty prove as kind to me He gives Alibech the wreath As I am sure fair Alibech is she Mont. You Guyomar must next perform your part Guy I want a Garland but I 'le give a heart My brothers pardon I must first implore Since I with him fair Alibech adore Odm. That all should Alibech adore 't is true But some respect is to my birth-right due My claim to her by Eldership I prove Guy Age is a plea in Empire not in Love Odm. I long have staid for this solemnity To make my passion publick Guy So have I. Odm. But from her birth my soul has been her slave My heart receiv'd the first wounds that she gave I watcht the early glories of her Eyes As men for day break watch the eastern Skies Guy It seems my soul then mov'd the quicker pace Yours first set out mine reach'd her in the race Mont. Odmar your choice I cannot disapprove Nor justly Guyomar can blame your love To Alibech alone refer your suit And let her sentence finish your dispute Alib. You think me Sir a Mistress quickly won So soon to finish what is scarce begun In this surprise should I a judgment make 'T is answering Riddles ere I 'm well awake If you oblige me suddenly to chuse The choice is made for I must both refuse For to my self I owe this due regard Not to make love my gift but my reward Time best will show whose services will last Odm. Then judge my future service by my past What I shall be by what I was you know That love took deepest root which first did grow Guy That love which first was set will first decay Mine of a fresher date will longer stay Odm. Still you forget my birth Guy But you I see Take care still to refresh my memory Mont. My Sons let your unseemly discord cease If not in friendship live at least in peace Orbellan where you love bestow your wreath Orb. My love I dare not ev'n in whispers breath Mont. A vertuous Love may venture any thing Orb. Not to attempt the Daughter of my King Mont. Whither is
