My Lord why still thus sad amidst this Mirth You dash the pleasures that you shou'd advance And with forbidding frowns you check my rising Joy What secret sorrow thus o're-clouds your face On such a day as this too Speak my Lord I will ease your mind to let me share its burden Phae. Nothing But that I 'm weary of this floath These weak enervate softnesses this rest My active soul disdains this womans life I wou'd in youth hoard up for feeble ' age An awful Treasure of immortal Glory Alth. Mistaken men invert the use of nature Age is most fit for Mischief Youth for Love When years come on and Impotence of pleasure Provok'd by envy of the joys they want We may allow them to disturb the world Phaet You speak but like a woman as I live How shoud I here exert the God within me In thrilling notes in languishments and kisses Alth. How wou'd my Lord my Love exert the God But living like the Gods in peaceful joys Come you 're unkind to let an empty name Rival a love so generous as mine Phae.

Turn not away I 'm pleas'd with what you 'll give Let me but have you all while you are here For toilsome thoughts you will have too much time Give me unrivall'd this auspicious day Be sort be tender now look kindly on me For my soul languishes and I am sick with love Looking wistfully on him Phae. Aside I dare not let my guilty eyes meet hers She views me with such pointed searching looks As if she 'd spy into my very heart And there discover all the fatal secret Alth. You shun my Eyes as if they were disgustful What have I done or how have I offended My Lord my Life Phae. Offended thou offended Alth. I swear I love with my first Virgin fondness I live all in you and I dye without you At your approach my heart beats fast within me A pleasing trembling thrills thro all my blood

When e're you touch me with your melting hand But when you kiss O 't is not to be spoke Phae. No no you have not nay you can't offend me You 're innocent Alth. In act in Word in Thought I call the Gods to attest by innocence If e're I wish'd or hop'd or thought of joy But what you gave but what was all in you May you be angry may you be unkind Or in one curse to sum up all that 's hateful May you soon love some other Phae. Gods Gods can I hear this and yet be false Aside Alth. So ma● the Lord of my desires be true As they all mov● and center all in you Plae Alas Althea I can't doubt thy truth And know thy love But yet Alth. But yet but what He walks up and down discomposedly and thoughtfully Unfold that fatal Yet O tell me that Phae. Aside Gods why am I by double love made wretched Too much abundance 't is that makes me poor Oh! had I ne're seen One or seen but One I had been happy then but seeing both I burn for both and with an equal fire I love them both and both I most desire Alth. Oh why thus thoughtful why that look cast down Those folded Arms Oh why those sudden starts Some fatal Sorrow you conceal from me That shakes your soul thus Give O! give my part O! do not rob me of my share of woe Not on these terms I gave my plighted faith To taste your joys and not partake your grief Indeed I cannot hear such cruel kindness Such partial woe where I must have no share Weeps Phae. Aside O wav'ring heart do I deserve such love Treacherous false persidious as I am Yet she is excellent divinely excellent Looks earenestly at her Young as the Spring and as the Graces fair Constant as Truth as melting Pity tender As Want ingenious and as Goodness kind Alth. Speak my dear Lord these looks are kind indeed Come let your Tongue convey my bitter potion Which yet to share with you will be most sweet Pha. Aside Lybia is fair as her She must be proud too of the Crowns she brings If she wou'd bring 'em me for tho I lov'd her Yet she perhaps woud never have lov'd me Or not so well so fiercely as Althea Alth. Quite lost in Thought he hears not what I say Pha. Aside ' Love ●nd Ambition bear such equal sway And have such blended power o're my soul That 't is with difficulty they 're distinguish'd It must be so Ambition pleads for Lybia But for Althea Love And Love prevails Aloud turning to her She must she shall she does possess me all Be gon Ambition with thy noisy charms Thy tinsel glare Haste take me to thy arms O fold me here most charming of thy kind Run into her ' rms Here form me mold me shape me to thy mind Glory Ambition all you 've driven away You ne're possess'd me all till this triumphant day Alth. O racking joy O most transporting Rapture O gift bevond return what shall I say What shall I do to she how I am ravish'd What can I give I 've given you all before I 've given my self and I can give no more But take that gift I 'll give it o're and o're Flies into his Arms and embraces him Phae. O! gift like Heav'n the same yet always new Full of young pleasures and unfading joys Unwasting fuel of Loves growing Fires Exhaustle●s source of ravishing desires I will forego the chace of false renown And my pursuit shall be thy Charms alone Of all things else unknowing and unknown Happy in thee I will sublimely move Within the perfect circle of my love There blooming pleasures will be always found And ever springing Raptures fill the glorious Round ACT II.
