may'st thou live thy thousand years in peace And see thy AEry progeny increase So may'st thou still continue young and fair Fed by the blast of pure AEtherial Air. And thy full term expir'd without all pain Dissolve into thy Astral source again Dam. Name not my hated Rival Gemory And I 'le speak true whate're thy questions be Nig. Thy Rivals hated name I will refrain Speak shall the Emperour his love obtain Dam. Few hours shall pass before your Emperour shall be Possess'd of that he loves or from that love be free Placid Shall I enjoy that Beauty I adore Dam. She Suppliant-like e're long thy succour shall implore And thou with her thou lov'st in happiness may'st live If she not dies before who all thy joys can give Nig. Say what does the AEgyptian Princess now Dam. A gentle slumber sits upon her brow Nig. Go stand before her in a golden dream Set all the pleasures of the world to show And in vain joys let her loose spirit flow Dam. Twice fifty Tents remove her from your sight But I 'll cut through e'm all with rays of light And covering other objects to your eyes Show where intranc'd in silent sleep she lies Damilcar stamps and the Bed arises with S. Catharine in it Dam. singing You pleasing dreams of Love and sweet delight Appear before this slumbring Virgins sight Soft visions set her free From mournful piety Let her sad thoughts from Heav'n retire And let the Melancholy Love Of those remoter joys above Give place to your more sprightly fire Let purling streams be in her fancy seen And flowry Meads and Vales of chearful green And in the midst of deathless Groves Soft sighing wishes ly And smiling hopes fast by And just beyond e'm ever laughing Loves A Scene of a Paradise is discovered Placid Some pleasing objects do her mind employ For on her face I read a wandring Joy SONG Dam. Ah how sweet it is to love Ah how gay is young desire And what pleasing pains we prove When we first approach Loves fire Pains of Love be sweeter far Than all other pleasures are Sighs which are from Lovers blown Do but gently heave the Heart Ev'n the tears they shed alone Cure like trickling Balm their smart Lovers when they lose their breath Bleed away in easie death Love and Time with reverence use Treat 'em like a parting friend Nor the golden gifts refuse Which in youth sincere they send For each year their price is more And they less simple than before Love like Spring-tides full and high Swells in every youthful vein But each Tide does less supply Till they quite shrink in again If a flow in Age appear 'T is but rain and runs not clear At the end of the Song a Dance of Spirits After which Amariel the Guardian-Angel of S. Catharine descends to soft Musick with a flaming Sword The Spirits crawl off the Stage amazedly and Damilcar runs to a corner of it Amar. From the bright Empire of Eternal day Where waiting minds for Heav'ns Commission stay Amariel flies a darted Mandate came From that great will which moves this mighty Frame Bid me to thee my Royal charge repair To guard thee from the Daemons of the Air My flaming Sword above 'em to display All keen and ground upon the edge of day The flat to sweep the Visions from thy mind The edge to cut 'em through that stay behind Vain Spirits you that shunning Heav'ns high noon Swarm here beneath the concave of the Moon What folly or what rage your duty blinds To violate the sleep of holy minds Hence to the task assign'd you here below Upon the Ocean make loud Tempests blow Into the wombs of hollow Clouds repair And crush out Thunder from the bladder'd Air. From pointed Sun-beams take the Mists they drew And scatter 'em again in pearly dew And of the bigger drops they drain below Some mould in Hail and others stamp in Snow Dam. Mercy bright Spirit I already feel The piercing edge of thy immortal steel Thou Prince of day from Elements Art free And I all body when compar'd to thee Thou tread'st th' Abyss of light And where it streams with open eyes canst go We wander in the Fields of Air below Changlings and Fooles of Heav'n and thence shut out Wildly we roam in discontent about Gross-heavy-fed next man in ignorance and sin And spotted all without and dusky all within Without thy Sword I perish by thy sight I reel and stagger and am drunk with light Ama. If e're again thou on this place art found Full fifty years I 'le chain thee under ground The damps of Earth shall be thy daily food All swoln and bloated like a dungeon toad And when thou shalt be freed yet thou shalt ly Gasping upon the ground too faint to fly And lag below thy fellows in the sky Dam. O pardon pardon this accursed deed And I no more on Magick fumes will feed Which drew me hither by their pow'rful steams Ama. to S. Cath. Go expiate thy guilt in holy dreams Ex. Dam. But thou sweet Saint henceforth disturb'd no more With dreams not thine thy thoughts to Heav'n restore The Angel ascends and the Scene shuts Nig. Some holy Being does invade this place And from their duty does my Spirits chase I dare no longer near it make abode No Charms prevail against the Christians God Exit Placid How doubtfully these Specters Fate foretell In double sense and twi-light truth they dwell Like sawning Courtiers for success they wait And then come smiling and declare for Fate Enter Maximin and Porphyrius attended by Valerius and Guards But see the Tyrant and my Rival come I like the Fiends will flatter in his doom None but a Fool distastful truth will tell So it be new and please 't is full as well Placid whispers with the Emperour who seems pleas'd Max. You charm me with your news which I 'le reward By hopes we are for coming joys prepar'd Possess her Love or from that Love be free Heav'n speaks me fair if she as kind can prove I shall possess but never quit my Love Go tell me when she wakes Exit Placidius Porphyrius seems to beg something of him Porphyrius no She has refus'd and I will keep my vow Por. For your own sake your cruel vow defer The time 's unsafe your Enemies are near And to displease your men when they should fight Max. My looks alone my Enemies will fright And o're my men I 'le set my careful Spies To watch Rebellion in their very eyes No more I cannot bear the least reply Por. Yet Tyrant thou shalt perish e're she dye Aside Enter Valeria Valeria here how Fortune treats me still With various harms magnificently ill Max. Valeria I was sending to your Tent To Valeria But my Commands your presence does prevent This is the hour wherein the Priest shall joyn Your holy Loves and make Porphyrius mine Val. aside Now hold my Heart and Venus I implore Be Judge
