ROD. [taking JULIAN's hand, and inviting him to attack MUZA and

Julian!

JUL. Hence, or die.



SECOND ACT: FIRST SCENE.



Camp of JULIAN.

JULIAN and COVILLA.

JUL. Obdurate! I am not as I appear.
Weep, my beloved child, Covilla, weep
Into my bosom; every drop be mine
Of this most bitter soul-empoisoning cup:
Into no other bosom than thy father's
Canst thou, or wouldst thou, pour it.

COV. Cease, my lord,
My father, angel of my youth, when all
Was innocence and peace.

JUL. Arise, my love,
Look up to heaven--where else are souls like thine!
