kiss all sorrow from thee What mean these sighs and why thus beats thy Heart Mon. Let me alone to sorrow 'T is a cause None e're shall know but it shall with me dye Pol. Happy Monimia he to whom these sighs These tears and all these languishings are paid I am no stranger to your dearest secret I know your heart was never meant for me That Jewel 's for an Elder Brother's price Mon. My Lord. Pol. Nay wonder not last Night I heard His Oaths your Vows and to my torment saw Your wild Embraces heard th' appointment made I did Monimia and I curst the sound Wilt thou be sworn my Love wilt thou be ne're Unkind again Mon. Banish such fruitless hopes Have you sworn constancy to my undoing Will you be ne're my Friend again Pol. What means my Love Mon. Away what meant my Lord Last Night Pol. Is that a question now to be demanded I hope Monimia was not much displeased Mon. Was it well done to treat me like a Prostitute T' assault my Lodging at the dead of night And threaten me if I deny'd admittance You said you were Castalio Pol. By those eyes It was the same I spent my time much better I tell thee ill natur'd Fair One I was posted To more advantage on a pleasant hill Of springing Joy and everlasting sweetness Mon. Hah have a care Pol. Where is the danger near me Mon. I fear y' are on a Rock will wreck your Quiet And drown your soul in wretchedness for ever A thousand horrid thoughts crow'd on my memory Will you be kind and answer me one question Pol. I 'd trust thee with my life on those soft Breasts Breath out the Choicest secrets of my heart Till I had nothing in it left but Love Mon. Nay I 'll Conjure you by the Gods and Angels By the honour of your name that 's most concern'd To tell me Polydore and tell me truly Where did you rest last Night Pol. Within thy arms I triumpht Rest had been my Foe Mon. 'T is done She faints Pol. She faints no help who waits a curse Upon my Vanity that could not keep The secret of my happiness in silence Confusion we shall be surpriz'd anon And consequently all must be betray'd Monimia she breaths Monimia Mon. Well Let mischiefs multiply Let every hour Of my loath'd life yield me increase of horror Oh let the Sun to these unhappy eyes Ne're shine again but be eclips'd for ever May every thing I look on seem a prodigy To fill my Soul with terrors till I quite Forget I ever had Humanity And grow a Curser of the works of Nature Pol. What means all this Mon. Oh Polydore it all The friendship e're you vow'd to good Castalio Be not a falsehood if you every lov'd Your Brother you 've undone your self and me Pol. Which way can Ruin reach the man that 's Rich As I am in possession of thy Sweetness Mon. Oh I'm his Wife Pol. What says Monimia hah Speak that again Mon. I am Castalio's Wife Pol. His marry'd wedded Wife Mon. Yester-dayes Sun Saw it perform'd Pol. And then have I enjoy'd My Brothers Wife Mon. As surely as we both Must taste of misery that guilt is thine Pol. Must we be miserable then Mon. Oh! Pol. Oh! thou may'st yet be happy Mon. Couldst thou be Happy with such a weight upon thy Soul Pol. It may be yet a secret I 'll go try To reconcile and bring Castalio to thee Whilst from the VVorld I take my self away And Waste my life in Penance for my Sin Mon. Then thou wouldst more undo me heap a load Of added Sins upon my wretched head Wouldst thou again have me betray thy Brother And bring pollution to his Arms curst thought Oh when shall I be mad indeed Pol. Nay then Let us embrace and from this very Moment Vow an Eternal misery together Mon. And wilt thou be a very faithful wretch Never grow fond of chearful peace again Wilt with me study to be unhappy And find out ways how to encrease affliction Pol. We 'll institute new Arts unknown before To vary plagues and make 'em look like new ones First if the Fruit of our detested Joy A Child be born it shall be murder'd Mon. No. Sure that may live Pol. Why Mon. To become a thing More wretched than its Parents to be branded With all our Infamy and Curse its Birth Pol. That 's well contriv'd then thus let 's go together Full of our guilt distracted where to roam Like the first Wretched Pair expell'd their Paradise Let 's find some place where Adders nest in VVinter Loathsome and Venemous VVhere poisons hang Like Gums against the VValls where VVitches meet By night and feed upon some pamper'd Imp Fat with the Blood of Babes There we 'll inhabit And live up to the height of desperation Desire shall languish like a withering Flower And no distinction of the Sex be thought of Horrors shall fright me from those pleasing harms And I 'll no more be caught with Beauties Charms But when I 'm dying take me in thy Armes ACT V. SCENE I. Castalio lying on the ground SONG COme all ye Youths whose Hearts e're bled By cruel Beauties Pride Bring each a Garland on his head Let none his Sorrows hide But hand in hand around me move Singing the saddest Tales of Love And see when your Complaints ye joyn If all your Wrongs can equal mine 2 The happyest Mortal once was I My heart no Sorrows knew Pity the Pain with which I dye But ask not whence it grew Yet if a tempting Fair you find That 's very lovely very kind Though bright as Heaven whose stamp she bears Think of my Fate and Shun her Snares Castal See where the Deer trot after one another Male Female Father Daughter Mother Son Brother and Sister mingled all together No discontent they know but in delightful VVildness and freedom pleasant Springs fresh Herbage Calm Harbours lusty health and innocence Enjoy their portion If they see a man How will they turn together all and gaze Upon the Monster Once in a Season too they taste of Love Only the Beast of Reason is its Slave And in that Folly drudges all the year Enter Acasto Acast. Castalio Castalio Cast. VVho 's there So wretched but to name Castalio Acast. I hope my message may succeed Cast. My Father 'T is Joy to see you though where sorrow 's Nourisht Acast. I 'm come in Beauties Cause you 'l guess the rest Cast. A woman if you love my peace of mind Name not a woman to me but to think Of woman were enough to taint my Brains Till they foment to madness Oh! my Father Acast. VVhat Ayles my Boy Cast. A woman is the thing I would forget and blot from my Remembrance Acast. Forget Monimia Cast. She to choose Monimia The very sound 's ungrateful to my sence Acast. This might seem strange but you I 've found will Hide your heart from me you dare not trust
