Though I dye for 't I must have th' other peep Hip. seeing her What thing is that sure 't is some Infant of the Sun dress'd in his Fathers gayest Beams and comes to play with Birds my sight is dazl'd and yet I find I 'm loth to shut my Eyes I must go nearer it but stay a while May it not be that beauteous murderer Woman Which I was charg'd to shun Speak what art thou Thou shining Vision Dor. Alas I know not but I 'm told I am a Woman Do not hurt me pray fair thing Hip. I 'd sooner tear my eyes out than consent to do you any harm though I was told a Woman was my Enemy Dor. I never knew what 't was to be an Enemy nor can I e're prove so to that which looks like you for though I have been charg'd by him whom yet I never disobey'd to shun your presence yet I 'd rather dye than lose it therefore I hope you will not have the heart to hurt me though I fear you are a man that dangerous thing of which I have been warn'd pray tell me what you are Hip. I must confess I was inform'd I am a man But if I fright you I shall wish I were some other Creature I was bid to fear you too Dor. Ay me Heav'n grant we be not poyson to each other Alas can we not meet but we must die Hip. I hope not so for when two poysonous Creatures Both of the same kind meet yet neither dies I 've seen two Serpents harmless to each other Though they have twin'd into a mutual Knot If we have any venome in us sure we cannot be more Poysonous when we meet than Serpents are You have a hand like mine may I not gently touch it Takes her hand Dor. I 've touch'd my Father's and my Sister's hands And felt no pain but now alas there 's something When I touch yours which makes me sigh just so I 've seen two Turtles mourning when they met Yet mine 's a pleasing grief and so methought was theirs For still they mourn'd and still they seem'd to murmur too And yet they often met Hip. Oh Heavens I have the same sense too your hand Methinks goes through me I feel at my heart And find it pleases though it pains me Prosp. within Dorinda Dor. My Father calls agen ah I must leave you Hip. Alas I 'm subject to the same command Dor. This is my first offence against my Father Which he by severing us too cruelly does punish Hip.

Enter Prospero and Miranda Prosp. EXcuse it not Miranda for to you the elder and I thought the more discreet I gave the conduct of your Sister's actions Mir. Sir when you call'd me thence I did not fail to mind her of her duty to depart Prosp. How can I think you did remember hers when you forgot your own did you not see the man whom I command-ed you to shun Mir. I must confess I saw him at a distance Prosp. Did not his Eyes infect and poyson you What alteration found you in your self Mir. I only wondred at a sight so new Prosp. But have you no desire once more to see him Come tell me truly what you think of him Mir. As of the gayest thing I ever saw so fine that it appear'd more fit to be belov'd than fear'd and seem'd so near my kind that I did think I might have call'd it Sister Prosp. You do not love it Mir. How is it likely that I should except the thing had first lov'd me Prosp. Cherish those thoughts you have a gen'rous soul And since I see your mind not apt to take the light Impressions of a sudden love I will unfold A secret to your knowledge That Creature which you saw is of a kind which Nature made a prop and guide to yours Mir. Why did you then propose him as an object of terrour to my mind you never us'd to teach me any thing but God-like truths and what you said I did believe as sacred Prosp. I fear'd the pleasing form of this young man Might unawares possess your tender breast Which for a nobler Guest I had design'd For shortly my Miranda you shall see another of his kind The full blown-flower of which this youth was but the Op'ning-bud Go in and send your sister to me Mir. Heav'n still preserve you Sir Ex. Miranda Prosp. And make thee fortunate Dorinda now must be examin'd too concerning this Late interview I 'm sure unartful truth lies open In her mind as Crystal streams their sandy bottom show I must take care her love grow not too fast For innocence is Love's most fertile soil Wherein he soon shoots up and widely spreads Nor is that danger which attends Hippolito yet overpast Enter Dorinda Prosp. O come hither you have seen a man to day Against my strict command Dor. Who I indeed I saw him but a little Sir Prosp. Come come be clear Your Sister told me all Dor. Did she truly she would have seen him more than I But that I would not let her Prosp. Why so Dor. Because methought he would have hurt me less Than he would her But if I knew you 'd not be angry With him I could tell you Sir that he was much to blame Prosp. Hah was he to blame Tell me with that sincerity I taught you how you became so bold to see the man Dor. I hope you will forgive me Sir because I did not see him much till he saw me Sir he would needs come in my way and star'd and star'd upon my face and so I thought I would be reveng'd of him and therefore I gaz'd on him as long but if I e're come neer a man again Prosp. I told you he was dangerous but you would not be warn'd Dor. Pray be not angry Sir if I tell you you are mistaken in him for he did me no great hurt Prosp. But he may do you more harm hereafter Dor. No Sir I 'm as well as e're I was in all my life But that I cannot eat nor drink for thought of him That dangerous man runs ever in my mind Prosp. The way to cure you is no more to see him Dor. Nay pray Sir say not so I promis'd him To see him once agen and you know Sir You charg'd me I should never break my promise Prosp. Wou'd you see him who did you so much mischief Dor. I warrant you I did him as much harm as he did me For when I left him Sir he sigh'd so as it griev'd My heart to hear him Prosp. Those

Then Spirit fetch me here my salvage Slave Ariel My Lord it does not need Prosp. Art thou then prone to mischief wilt thou be thy self the Executioner Ariel Think better of thy aiery Minister who For thy fake unbid this night has flown O're almost all the habitable World Prosp. But to what purpose was all thy diligence Ariel When I was chidden by my mighty Lord for my Neglect of young Hippolito I went to view His body and soon found his soul was but retir'd Not sally'd out and frighted lay at skulk in Th'inmost corner of his scarce-beating heart Prosp. Is he not dead Ariel Hear me my Lord I prun'd my wings and fitted for a journey from the next Isles of our Hesperides I gather'd Moly first thence shot my self to Palestine and watch'd the trickling Balm which caught I glided to the British Isles and there he purple Panacea found Prosp. All this to night Ariel All this my Lord I did Nor was Hippolito's good Angel wanting who Climbing up the circle of the Moon While I below got Simples for the Cure went to Each Planet which o're-rul'd those Herbs And drew it's virtue to increase their pow'r Long e're this hour had I been back again But that a Storm took me returning back And flag'd my tender Wings Prosp. Thou shalt have rest my spirit But hast thou search'd the wound Ariel My Lord I have and 't was in time I did it for The soul stood almost at life's door all bare And naked shivering like Boys upon a Rivers Bank and loth to tempt the cold air but I took Her and stop'd her in and pour'd into his mouth The healing juice of vulnerary Herbs Prosp. Thou art my faithful servant Ariel His only danger was his loss of blood but now He 's wak'd my Lord and just this hour He must be dress'd again as I have done it Anoint the Sword which pierc'd him with this Weapon-Salve and wrap it close from air till I have time to visit him again Prosp. It shall be done be it your task Miranda because your Sister is not present here while I go visit your Dear Ferdinand from whom I will a while conceal This news that it may be more welcome Mir. I obey you and with a double duty Sir for now You twice have given me life Prosp. My Ariel follow me Exeunt severally Hippolito discovered on a Couch Dorinda by him Dor. How do you find your self Hip. I 'm somewhat cold can you not draw me nearer To the Sun I am too weak to walk Dor. My Love I 'le try She draws the chair nearer the Audience I thought you never would have walk'd agen They told me you were gone away to Heaven Have you bin there Hip. I know not where I was Dor. I will not leave you till you promise me you Will not dye agen Hip. Indeed I will not Dor. You must not go to Heav'n unless we go together For I 've heard my Father say that we must strive To be each others Guide the way to it will else Be difficult especially to those who are so young But I much wonder what it is to dye Hip. Sure 't is to dream a kind of breathless sleep When once the Soul 's gone out Dor. What is the Soul Hip. A small blew thing that runs about within us Dor. Then I have seen it in a frosty morning run Smoaking from my mouth Hip. But if my soul had gone it should have walk'd upon A Cloud just over you and peep'd and thence I would have Call'd you Dor. But I should not have heard you 't is so far Hip. Why then I would have rain'd and snow'd upon you And thrown down Hail-stones gently till I hit you And made you look at least But dear Dorinda What is become of him who fought with me Dor. O I can tell you joyful news of him My Father means to make him dye to day For what he did to you Hip. That must not be my dear Dorinda go and beg your Father he may not dye it was my fault he hurt me I urg'd him to it first Dor. But if he live he 'll never leave killing you Hip. O no! I just remember when I fell asleep I heard Him calling me a great way off and crying over me as You wou'd do besides we have no cause of quarrel now Dor. Pray how began your difference first Hip. I fought with him for all the Women in the World Dor. That hurt you had was justly sent from Heaven For wishing to have any more but me Hip. Indeed I think it was but I repent it the fault Was only in my blood for now 't is gone I find I do not love so many Dor. In confidence of this I 'le beg my Father that he May live I 'm glad the naughty blood that made You love so many is gone out Hip. My Dear go quickly lest you come too late Exit Dor. Enter Miranda at the other door with Hippolito's Sword wrapt up Hip. Who 's this who looks so fair and beautiful as Nothing but Dorinda can surpass her O! I believe it is that Angel Woman Whom she calls Sister Mir. Sir I am sent hither to dress your wound How do you find your strength Hip. Fair Creature I am faint with loss of blood Mir.

Sir I 'm glad you are so well recover'd you Keep your humour still to have all Women Hip. Not all Sir you except one of the number Your new Love there Dorinda Mir.
