By nature and by love, this lonely shade
Was for revenge of suffering lovers made.
Silence and shades with love agree;
Both shelter you and favour me:
You cannot blush, because I cannot see._

_No, let me die, she said,
Rather than lose the spotless name of maid!--
Faintly, methought, she spoke; for all the while
She bid me not believe her, with a smile.
Then die, said I: She still denied;
And is it thus, thus, thus, she cried,
You use a harmless maid?--and so she died!_

V.

_I waked, and straight I knew,
I loved so well, it made my dream prove true:
Fancy, the kinder mistress of the two,
Fancy had done what Phyllis would not do!
Ah, cruel nymph, cease your disdain,
While, I can dream you scorn in vain,--
Asleep or waking you must ease my pain._
[After the dance, a tumultuous noise of drums
and trumpets.

_To them_ OZMYN; _his sword drawn._
