_Abd_. Oh perfect, great and glorious of thy Sex!
Like thy great self 'twas spoke, resolv'd and brave-- I must attend the King--where I will watch All _Philip's_ Motions. _Qu_. And--after that--if you will beg Admittance, I'll give you leave to visit me to Night. _Abd_. Madam, that Blessing now must be defer'd. [_Leads her to the Door_. My Wrongs and I will be retir'd to Night, And bring forth Vengeance with the Morning's Light. _Enter_ Osmin, Zarrack. _Osm_. My gracious Lord. _Abd_. Come near--and take a Secret from my Lips; And he who keeps not silent hears his Death.-- This Night the Prince and Cardinal--do you mark me-- Are murder'd. _Osm_. Where, Sir? _Abd_. Here in the Court. _Osm_. By whom, great Sir? _Abd_. By thee--I know thou darst. |
