SCENE XII.
VINCENTIO (alone.)
I must leave Liege.—Well, be it so then.—What
are the Charms, that should detain me here? No, let
me fly, and in some friendly Desart, hide me from the
ungenerous World. There I shall be free from the Rage
of an impious Usurper, and the Malice of an unnatural
Brother.—And is that all?—If so, why do I loiter,
and fear to move as though I rush'd on death?—Sure
something whispers me I've still an Interest here;—
Camilla's Charms!—But what of her?—Down my
aspiring Soul, and meditate a Theme more suited to my
lost, my wretched Fortune.—And yet, methinks I'm
not forbid to hope; he is a Wretch indeed that boasts not
that. There should be something in sending to inform
me of the Duke's Displeasure, and my Brother's Treachery.
—But all is hid within the mystic Book of Fate;
to that I'll trust my Fortune.—The same good Angel
that inspir'd her then may savour me still farther.
Smile Heav'n, and ev'ry Star propitious prove,
And what I've lost in Honour, let me gain in Love.
