Instruct me by what name to worship thee!
For to thy virtue I would altars raise,
Since thou art much above all human praise.
But see,--

_Enter_ ALMANZOR, _his sword bloody, leading in_ ALMAHIDE _attended
by_ ESPERANZA.

My other blessing, Almahide, is here!--
I'll to the king, and tell him she is near:
You, Ozmyn, on your fair deliverer wait,
And with your private joys the public celebrate.
[_Exeunt_ ABEN. OZM. _and_ BENZ.

_Almanz._ The work is done; now, madam, you are free;
At least, if I can give you liberty:
But you have chains which you yourself have chose;
And, O, that I could free you too from those!
But you are free from force, and have full power
To go, and kill my hopes and me, this hour.--
I see, then, you will go; but yet my toil
May he rewarded with a looking while.

_Almah._ Almanzor can from every subject raise
New matter for our wonder and his praise.
You bound and freed me; but the difference is,
That showed your valour; but your virtue this.

_Almanz._ Madam, you praise a funeral victory,
At whose sad pomp the conqueror must die.
