601:01,000['  ]| <Psyche: text from Harold>
601:01,001[C  ]| <Apollo.> You must conduct her to$4$ that$6#2$ fatal place,
601:01,002[C  ]| Where miserable lovers that$6#1$ despair,
601:01,003[C  ]| With howls and lamentations fill the air;
601:01,004[C  ]| A husband there your daughter shall embrace.
601:01,005[C  ]| On$4$ Venus Rock upon$4$ the sea,
601:01,006[C  ]| She must by$4$ you deserted be:
601:01,007[C  ]| A poisoned serpent there she will$1$ find,
601:01,008[C  ]| By$4$ heaven he Psyche's husband is designed.
601:01,008[C  ]| <At this they all start, affrighted.>
601:01,009[F  ]| <Theander.> Gods! that$3$ I ever should live to$9$ see this day.
601:01,010[F  ]| It is for$4$ some great offence
601:01,011[F  ]| Of mine, that$3$ thou art to$9$ be snatched from hence.
601:01,012[F  ]| Oh take my life, and let her stay.
601:01,013[F  ]| But it is in$4$ vain to$9$ ask, we must obey:
601:01,014[F  ]| For$4$ which$6#1$ I will$1$ weep my hated life away.
601:01,015[G  ]| <Cedippe.> Venus has kept her word, and she shall be
601:01,016[G  ]| Much more adored by$4$ me,
601:01,017[G  ]| Than any other deity.
601:01,018[H  ]| <Aglaura.> Now my fair sister must a serpent have,
601:01,019[H  ]| Instead of a nuptial bed, a grave.
601:01,020[H  ]| Now she shall suffer for$4$ her pride;
601:01,021[H  ]| Our love and hate will$1$ now be satisfied.
601:01,022[A  ]| <Psyche.> To$4$ whatsoever the oracle thinks fit,
601:01,023[A  ]| I cheerfully submit:
601:01,024[A  ]| I have not lived so$5#1$ ill, but I
601:01,025[A  ]| With ease can die:
601:01,026[A  ]| I with a willing heart
601:01,027[A  ]| Can with my life as with a trifle part:
601:01,028[A  ]| As no$2$ joy yet could ever fill my mind,
601:01,029[A  ]| I from no$2$ danger can distraction find.
601:01,030[F  ]| <Theander.> Lead on$5$; and with a funeral pace,
601:01,031[F  ]| For$3$ I in$4$ that$6#2$ unhappy place
601:01,032[F  ]| Must bury all my joy, and leave my life behind.
601:01,033[D  ]| <Nicander.> Stay but a moment, stay;
601:01,034[D  ]| You will$1$ not sure this oracle obey.
601:01,035[D  ]| Consider and be wise:
601:01,036[D  ]| If it be good Psyche to$9$ sacrifice,
601:01,037[D  ]| You were obliged to$4$ it without this command,
601:01,038[D  ]| And we the action should not then withstand.
601:01,039[E  ]| <Polynices.> If bad, then heaven itself can not make it good:
601:01,040[E  ]| All good and ill is already understood.
601:01,041[E  ]| Heaven has forbid the shedding guiltless blood.
601:01,042[E  ]| If good and ill anew it has designed,
601:01,043[E  ]| The gods are mutable, and change their mind.
601:01,044[D  ]| <Nicander.> Be not by$4$ this imposture, sir, betrayed,
601:01,045[D  ]| By$4$ this dull idol which$6#1$ the priests have made:
601:01,046[D  ]| Too many cheats are in$4$ the temple found,
601:01,047[D  ]| Their fraud does more than piety abound:
601:01,048[D  ]| They make the senseless image speak with ease
601:01,049[D  ]| Whatever themselves shall please.
601:01,050[W  ]| <Chief Priest.> Do not the sacred image thus profane,
601:01,051[W  ]| Which$6#1$ will$1$ revenge itself, and all its rites maintain.
601:01,052[E  ]| <Polynices.> If that$6#2$ be sacred, and you that$6#2$ adore,
601:01,053[E  ]| Then him that$6#1$ made it you should worship more:
601:01,054[E  ]| To$4$ the poor mechanic you give no$2$ respect,
601:01,055[E  ]| You adore his workmanship, but him neglect.
601:01,056[D  ]| <Nicander.> For$4$ sacred you impose what you decree,
601:01,057[D  ]| And the deluded multitude believe,
601:01,058[D  ]| By$4$ boasting of infallibility,
601:01,059[D  ]| The unthinking rabble you with ease deceive.
601:01,060[E  ]| <Polynices.> Whatever in$4$ divinity you know,
601:01,061[E  ]| In$4$ all concernments of mankind below:
601:01,062[E  ]| In$4$ all the objects of the mind,
601:01,063[E  ]| And in$4$ all human science we can find.
601:01,064[E  ]| In$4$ priests more errors than in$4$ all mankind.
601:01,065[D  ]| <Nicander.> In$4$ sacred things yet you so$5#1$ much excel
601:01,066[D  ]| All others, in$4$ your sleeps you can foretell;
601:01,067[D  ]| When after surfeits in$4$ your holy feasts
601:01,068[D  ]| You sleep in$4$ skins of sacrificed beasts,
601:01,069[D  ]| The troubled dreams you from those fumes receive,
601:01,070[D  ]| To$4$ the unheedful world for$4$ oracles you give.
601:01,071[F  ]| <Theander.> In$4$ holy mysteries you must lay by$5$
601:01,072[F  ]| Your intricate philosophy.
601:01,073[F  ]| After the dreadful cloud with thunder broke,
601:01,074[F  ]| It was some loud immortal voice that$6#1$ spoke.
601:01,075[W  ]| <Chief Priest.> The holy rites you saw performed,
601:01,076[W  ]| By$4$ miracles were now confirmed.
601:01,077[D  ]| <Nicander.> Miracles!
601:01,078[D  ]| You holy cheats to$9$ advance your mystery:
601:01,079[D  ]| The noblest science is divinity.
601:01,080[D  ]| But when become a trade, I see, it will$1$ be
601:01,081[D  ]| Like$4$ other trades, maintained by$4$ knavery.
601:01,082[W  ]| <Chief Priest.> By$4$ miracles the power of heaven is known.
601:01,083[E  ]| <Polynices.> Heaven's power is more by$4$ settled order shown.
601:01,084[E  ]| The beauty of that$6#2$ order which$6#1$ is found,
601:01,085[E  ]| To$9$ govern the creation in$4$ a round,
601:01,086[E  ]| The fixed uninterrupted chain, whereby
601:01,087[E  ]| All things on$4$ one another must depend;
601:01,088[E  ]| This method proves a wise divinity,
601:01,089[E  ]| As much as should the gods on$4$ earth descend.
601:01,090[W  ]| <Chief Priest.> You speak from nature, which$6#1$ is ignorance;
601:01,091[W  ]| But we to$4$ inspiration must advance.
601:01,092[D  ]| <Nicander.> If, priest, by$4$ means not natural heaven declares
601:01,093[D  ]| Its will$0$, and our obedience so$5#2$ prepares;
601:01,094[D  ]| The gods by$4$ this their weakness would confess,
601:01,095[D  ]| What you call miracles would make them less.
601:01,096[D  ]| If something without nature they produce,
601:01,097[D  ]| Nature is then defective to$4$ their use:
601:01,098[D  ]| And when by$4$ that$6#2$ they can not work their end,
601:01,099[D  ]| My miracle their instrument they mend.
601:01,100[E  ]| <Polynices.> If this be granted, priest, by$4$ this we find,
601:01,101[E  ]| The gods foresee not, or else change their mind.
601:01,102[E  ]| But heaven does nothing to$4$ our sense produce,
601:01,103[E  ]| But it does outward natural causes use.
601:01,104[E  ]| Fools trust in$4$ miracles, and fools never doubt:
601:01,105[E  ]| It is ignorance of causes, priest, makes fools devout.
601:01,105['  ]| <Thunder again.>
601:01,106[W  ]| <Chief Priest.> Be gone, profane and wicked men,
601:01,107[W  ]| You have provoked heaven's wrath again.
601:01,108[W  ]| Heaven does again to$4$ you in$4$ thunder speak!
601:01,109[D  ]| <Nicander.> It was nothing but a petty cloud did break;
601:01,110[D  ]| What, can your priesthood's grave philosophy
601:01,111[D  ]| So$5#1$ much amazed at common thunder be?
601:01,112[A  ]| <Psyche.> We should obey without these prodigies;
601:01,113[A  ]| I to$4$ heaven's will$0$ my own will$0$ sacrifice.
601:01,114[G  ]| <Cedippe.> Must I then with my much loved sister part?
601:01,115[H  ]| <Aglaura.> The dismal loss will$1$ break my tender heart.
601:01,116[F  ]| <Theander.> Joy of my life, let us to$4$ the fatal place,
601:01,117[F  ]| Where thine and all my sorrow is designed:
601:01,118[F  ]| When thee the poisonous serpent shall embrace,
601:01,119[F  ]| Assure thyself I will$1$ not stay long behind.
601:01,120[E  ]| <Polynices.> Thus the great Agamemnon was betrayed,
601:01,121[E  ]| And Iphigenia thus a victim made:
601:01,122[E  ]| Such horrid ills religion can persuade.
601:01,122['  ]| <Exeunt omnes.>
601:02,000['  ]| <The scene changes to$4$ a rocky desert full of dreadful caves, cliffs, and>
601:02,000['  ]| <precipices, with a high rock looking down into the sea.>
601:02,000['  ]| <Enter two despairing lovers.>
601:02,001[W  ]| <1 Lover.> Ah what a dreadful rocky desert is this,
601:02,002[W  ]| The melancholy region of despair:
601:02,003[W  ]| Wherever I turn me, poisonous serpents hiss,
601:02,004[W  ]| And with their venomous breaths infect the air.
601:02,005[V  ]| <2 Lover.> Here pestilential vapours do abound,
601:02,006[V  ]| And killing damps the vaults and caverns breath;
601:02,007[V  ]| From dreadful gapings of the craggy ground,
601:02,008[V  ]| The fatal desert seems to$9$ yawn forth death.
601:02,009[W  ]| <1 Lover.> A gloomy darkness hovers over this place;
601:02,010[W  ]| Here sure the sun never shows his joyful face.
601:02,011[W  ]| Nature this place for$4$ horror did design:
601:02,012[W  ]| No$2$ beam of comfort here can shine.
601:02,013[V  ]| <2 Lover.> Nothing but howls of sad despair,
601:02,014[V  ]| And dismal groans of wretches fill the air,
601:02,015[V  ]| Who$6#1$ in$4$ agonies their hated lives resign.
601:02,016[W  ]| <1 Lover.> How many various ways to$4$ death we have:
601:02,017[W  ]| Some from that$6#2$ rock have plunged into the deep;
601:02,018[W  ]| And in$4$ the sea we saw them find a grave.
601:02,019[V  ]| <2 Lover.> Some by$4$ their poniards meet death's easy sleep:
601:02,020[V  ]| By$4$ wilful stopping their own breath.
601:02,021[W  ]| <1 Lover.> Nature this place did for$4$ my grief intend.
601:02,022[V  ]| <2 Lover.> And here my fatal life and love shall end.
601:02,023[W  ]| <1 Lover.> Psyche is hither by$4$ Apollo sent,
601:02,024[W  ]| Here to$9$ fulfil the oracle's intent.
601:02,024['  ]| <Two despairing men, and two despairing women>
601:02,024['  ]| <sing as follows.>
601:02,025[W  ]| <1 Man.> Break, break distracted heart, there is no$2$ cure
601:02,026[W  ]| For$4$ love, my mind's too raging calenture.
601:02,027[V  ]| <1 Woman.> Sighs which$6#1$ in$4$ other passions vent,
601:02,028[V  ]| And give them ease when they lament,
601:02,029[V  ]| Are but the bellows to$4$ my hot desire.
601:02,030[V  ]| <2 Woman.> And tears in$4$ me not quench, but nourish fire.
601:02,031[W  ]| <2 Man.> Nothing can mollify my grief,
601:02,032[W  ]| Or give my passion a relief.
601:02,033[W  ]| <1 Man.> Love is not like$4$ our earthly fire;
601:02,034[W  ]| You soon may smother out that$6#2$ flame;
601:02,035[W  ]| Concealing does increase desire,
601:02,036[W  ]| No$2$ opposition love can tame.
601:02,037[V  ]| <2 Woman.> Despair in$4$ love transcends all pain,
601:02,038[V  ]| Lost hope will$1$ never return again.
601:02,039[V  ]| <1 Woman.> In$4$ hell there is no$2$ such misery,
601:02,040[V  ]| As now oppresses me.
601:02,041[V  ]| I this one pang alone
601:02,042[V  ]| Would change for$4$ Sisyphus his stone.
601:02,043[W  ]| <2 Man.> I would the torments which$6#1$ I feel
601:02,044[W  ]| Change for$4$ Ixion's wheel.
601:02,045[V  ]| <2 Woman.> The vulture should on$4$ me forever feed,
601:02,046[V  ]| Rather than thus my heart for$4$ love should bleed.
601:02,047[W  ]| <1 Man.> Oh Tantalus! for$4$ thy eternal thirst;
601:02,048[W  ]| I am more on$4$ earth than thou in$4$ hell accursed.
601:02,049[V  ]| <1 Woman.> Was ever grief like$4$ mine?
601:02,050[V  ]| <2 Woman.> Like$4$ mine?
601:02,051[W  ]| <1 Man.> Like$4$ mine?
601:02,052[W  ]| <2 Man.> Like$4$ mine?
601:02,053[X  ]| <Chorus.> Was ever grief like$4$ mine? Was ever, etc%
601:02,054[V  ]| <2 Woman.> Nothing but death can cure our misery.
601:02,055[V  ]| <1 Woman.> I will$1$ die.
601:02,056[W  ]| <1 Man.> I will$1$ die.
601:02,057[W  ]| <2 Man.> I will$1$ die.
601:02,058[X  ]| <Chorus.> Nothing but death can cure our misery. Nothing but, etc%
601:02,059[W  ]| <1 Man speaks.> How long shall I for$4$ this dull serpent stay,
601:02,060[W  ]| Ere I become his prey?
601:02,061[W  ]| Come forth from out thy poisonous den:
601:02,062[W  ]| Dost thou despise the flesh of men?
601:02,063[W  ]| <2 Man.> The lazy serpent breakfasted today;
601:02,064[W  ]| I will$1$ not for$4$ his waking stomach stay:
601:02,065[W  ]| I will$1$ be author of my fate, and make myself away.
601:02,065['  ]| <Falls on$4$ his sword.>
601:02,066[V  ]| <1 Woman.> Your sex no$2$ more in$4$ courage shall excel,
601:02,067[V  ]| For$3$ I can die as well.
601:02,068[V  ]| I in$4$ this dagger my relief will$1$ find,
601:02,069[V  ]| And kill my body thus to$9$ ease my mind.
601:02,069['  ]| <Kills herself.>
601:02,070[W  ]| <1 Man.> I to$4$ the top of all the rock will$1$ climb;
601:02,071[W  ]| And if in$4$ little time
601:02,072[W  ]| The serpent there I can not see,
601:02,073[W  ]| I will$1$ find a way to$9$ follow thee.
601:02,074[V  ]| <2 Woman.> My heart that$6#2$ office will$1$ perform for$4$ me.
601:02,075[V  ]| A death-like pang I feel,
601:02,076[V  ]| I have no$2$ need of steel.
601:02,077[V  ]| A faint cold sweat besmears my face,
601:02,078[V  ]| I can make haste and die apace.
601:02,079[V  ]| And these are the last words I ever shall speak,
601:02,080[V  ]| Farewell my cruel love, for$4$ thee my heart does break.
601:02,080['  ]| <She dies.>
601:02,080['  ]| <Then he on$4$ the top of the rock falls headlong into the sea.>
601:02,080['  ]| <Enter Theander, Psyche, Cedippe, Aglaura, Psyche's two women,>
601:02,080['  ]| <and other attendants, in funeral habits, weeping; then the guards.>
601:02,081[A  ]| <Psyche.> Oh stop those royal fountains, tears are things
601:02,082[A  ]| Which$6#1$ ill become the majesty of kings.
601:02,083[F  ]| <Theander.> But they become a father, who$6#1$ must lose
601:02,084[F  ]| The only comfort of his fading life;
601:02,085[F  ]| Who$6#1$ barbarously must his child expose,
601:02,086[F  ]| By$4$ heaven's command, to$9$ be a serpent's wife.
601:02,087[A  ]| <Psyche.> That$6#2$ dread command I am ready to$9$ obey,
601:02,088[A  ]| I beg you will$1$ no$2$ longer stay.
601:02,089[A  ]| Death's cold embraces I will$1$ court;
601:02,090[A  ]| I can my fate, but not your tears support.
601:02,091[F  ]| <Theander.> Ye gods, why did ye ever bless
601:02,092[F  ]| Me with this gift, to$9$ snatch it back again?
601:02,093[F  ]| My burden is greater than I can sustain!
601:02,094[A  ]| <Psyche.> I never could deserve such tenderness;
601:02,095[A  ]| Nay, good sir, dry your eyes, my heart will$1$ break;
601:02,096[A  ]| To$9$ bear your grief, I am too weak.
601:02,097[F  ]| <Theander.> Oh that$3$ I had never seen thy much-loved face,
601:02,098[F  ]| And that$3$ thou hadst perished in$4$ the womb:
601:02,099[F  ]| I had not led thee to$4$ this fatal place,
601:02,100[F  ]| Thy father had not brought thee living to$4$ thy tomb.
601:02,101[A  ]| <Psyche.> Your sad complaints so$5#1$ soften me,
601:02,102[A  ]| My heart will$1$ melt to$4$ that$6#2$ degree,
601:02,103[A  ]| That$3$ I shall have none left when death I see.
601:02,104[F  ]| <Theander.> Heavens! what could thus your cruelty provoke?
601:02,105[F  ]| Your altars, by$4$ my bounty, daily smoke
601:02,106[F  ]| With fat, with incense, and with gums:
601:02,107[F  ]| Nor have you wanted hecatombs.
601:02,108[F  ]| And must I thus rewarded be?
601:02,109[G  ]| <Cedippe.> See how the dotard weeps, while we
601:02,110[G  ]| Rejoice at this her destiny.
601:02,111[G  ]| Oh how it would my envy feed,
601:02,112[G  ]| Could my glad eyes behold her bleed!
601:02,113[H  ]| <Aglaura.> Oh good dear serpent, make her sure,
601:02,114[H  ]| Her death, our grief can only cure.
601:02,115[H  ]| Oh that$3$ she were at my command,
601:02,116[H  ]| And that$3$ her heart were throbbing in$4$ my hand.
601:02,117[H  ]| Some miracle may else relieve
601:02,118[H  ]| Her from this death, and we afresh may grieve.
601:02,119[A  ]| <Psyche.> Good sir, be gone, the will$0$ of heaven obey.
601:02,120[A  ]| Besides, if you should longer stay,
601:02,121[A  ]| Before the serpent comes, my life will$1$ steal away.
601:02,122[A  ]| Weigh not your loss, but what you have remain;
601:02,123[A  ]| You have the comfort of my sisters left,
601:02,124[A  ]| Who$6#1$ will$1$ your drooping age sustain,
601:02,125[A  ]| When you are of me bereft.
601:02,126[A  ]| Sisters, be good, and to$4$ my father give
601:02,127[A  ]| All comfort, and his grief relieve;
601:02,128[A  ]| He, from you two, much pleasure may receive.
601:02,129[G  ]| <Cedippe.> Our grief as much as his relief will$1$ need,
601:02,130[G  ]| Of that$6#2$ I might with Psyche bleed:
601:02,131[G  ]| Did not the gods self-murder hate,
601:02,132[G  ]| I would accompany your fate.
601:02,133[H  ]| <Aglaura.> Oh that$3$ the gods would suffer me
601:02,134[H  ]| To$9$ be exchanged for$4$ thee!
601:02,135[A  ]| <Psyche.> Sisters, farewell, pray dry your eyes:
601:02,135['  ]| <Kisses her sisters.>
601:02,136[A  ]| I am for$4$ you a sacrifice.
601:02,137[A  ]| You may your choice of many princes have,
601:02,138[A  ]| When I am cold, forgotten in$4$ my grave.
601:02,139[F  ]| <Theander.> Gods! can I yet hear this and live?
601:02,140[F  ]| Oh take my life, or me my Psyche give.
601:02,141[A  ]| <Psyche.> Sir, if you longer stay,
601:02,142[A  ]| You will$1$ cause my death, not they.
601:02,143[A  ]| I on$4$ my knees beseech you quit
601:02,144[A  ]| This fatal place, and to$4$ heaven's will$0$ submit.
601:02,145[A  ]| Farewell: it is time,
601:02,146[A  ]| I now the rock my fatal tomb must climb,
601:02,147[A  ]| Farewell for*ever ~~ 
601:02,148[F  ]| <Theander.> Say not so$5#2$,
601:02,149[F  ]| For$3$ I to$4$ death will$1$ go,
601:02,150[F  ]| My soul tomorrow shall meet thine below.
601:02,151['  ]| <Exeunt all but Psyche.>
601:02,152[A  ]| <Psyche sola.> Even now grim death I slightly did esteem;
601:02,153[A  ]| With the wrong end of the glass I looked on$4$ him;
601:02,154[A  ]| Then afar off and little did he seem:
601:02,155[A  ]| Now my perspective draws him near,
601:02,156[A  ]| He very big and ugly does appear.
601:02,157[A  ]| Away ~~ it is the base false glass of fear.
601:02,157['  ]| <Enter Nicander and Polynices.>
601:02,158[A  ]| Why do you come to$9$ see me wretched here?
601:02,159[A  ]| What can you hope from her whose death is so$5#1$ near?
601:02,160[E  ]| <Polynices.> To$9$ save your life, our lives we will$1$ expose.
601:02,161[A  ]| <Psyche.> Can mortal men the heavenly powers oppose?
601:02,162[D  ]| <Nicander.> What heaven commands is surely good.
601:02,163[D  ]| Heaven has declared against shedding human blood.
601:02,164[D  ]| Boars, rams and bulls will$1$ serve Apollo's turn,
601:02,165[D  ]| Whilst gums and incense on$4$ his altars burn.
601:02,166[D  ]| It is to$4$ the priests that$3$ you are sacrificed.
601:02,167[A  ]| <Psyche.> I must not hear the oracle despised.
601:02,168[D  ]| <Nicander.> In$4$ vain, against prejudice we still dispute:
601:02,169[D  ]| Our swords shall this great oracle confute.
601:02,170[D  ]| No$2$ serpent whilst we live shall you embrace,
601:02,171[D  ]| Nor any other rival in$4$ this place.
601:02,172[A  ]| <Psyche.> He carries deadly venom in$4$ his breath,
601:02,173[A  ]| Which$6#1$ certainly will$1$ give you death.
601:02,174[E  ]| <Polynices.> Cadmus, without love's aid, the dragon slew;
601:02,175[E  ]| Inspired by$4$ love, what can not princes do?
601:02,176[A  ]| <Psyche.> Why for$4$ my preservation should you strive?
601:02,177[A  ]| For$3$ neither my affection ever could move.
601:02,178[A  ]| Though heaven for$4$ that$6#2$ would suffer me to$9$ live:
601:02,179[A  ]| No$2$ prince on$4$ earth could ever make me love.
601:02,180[D  ]| <Nicander.> It is time we both of us should die,
601:02,181[D  ]| Since we from you no$2$ pity can deserve.
601:02,182[D  ]| Yet ~~ 
601:02,183[D  ]| Had we no$2$ love for$4$ generosity,
601:02,184[D  ]| Spite of yourself we would your life preserve.
601:02,185[E  ]| <Polynices.> You have made rivals thus agree,
601:02,186[E  ]| Though could you love, but one could happy be.
601:02,187[E  ]| Each will$1$ assist the other, and you will$1$ see,
601:02,188[E  ]| In$4$ spite of oracles we will$1$ set you free.
601:02,189[A  ]| <Psyche.> Farewell: I must not hear this blasphemy.
601:02,190[D  ]| <Nicander.> We can not leave you till you die,
601:02,191[D  ]| No$2$ oracle shall that$6#2$ deny.
601:02,191['  ]| <The earth opens, infernal spirits rise and hurry the princes away.>
601:02,191['  ]| <Two Zephiri descend and take Psyche by$4$ each arm, and fly into>
601:02,191['  ]| <the clouds with her.>
601:02,191['  ]| <Cupid descends a little way, hanging in the air.>
601:02,192[B  ]| <Cupid.> Be gone, you rivals of an angry deity:
601:02,193[B  ]| Shall I by$4$ insolent princes rivalled be?
601:02,194[B  ]| Shall mortals for$4$ my Psyche strive with me?
601:02,195[B  ]| Vulcan make haste, prepare
601:02,196[B  ]| My costly palace for$4$ my fair;
601:02,197[B  ]| In$4$ that$6#2$ splendid place,
601:02,198[B  ]| My love, my dear, my Psyche will$1$ embrace.
601:02,198['  ]| <He flies away.>
601:02,198['  ]| <Enter Nicander and Polynices.>
601:02,199[D  ]| <Nicander.> By$4$ what enchantment were we hurried hence?
601:02,200[D  ]| Psyche is gone. Let us use all diligence
601:02,201[D  ]| Soon to$9$ prevent her fate,
601:02,202[D  ]| Or we shall come too late.
601:02,203[E  ]| <Polynices.> We will$1$ our much-loved Psyche find.
601:02,204[E  ]| Or we will$1$ leave our hated lives behind.
601:02,204['  ]| <Exeunt.>
