SCENE VI.
Julio. alone.
I am now on the very Crisis of my Fortune, and on
a single Breath depends my future Happiness, or Misery:
—What have I done?—I have engag'd myself
to Vincentio without the Knowledge of my royal Father;

—may he not then disapprove of it? Oh no, he is
so good, it were a Crime to doubt his Gentleness: Besides,
Ernesto's Services, and his own Life so lately by
Vincentio sav'd, are Arguments too strong to be denied.—
Let me yet consider a little;—but I have gone too far to
think of a Retreat.
I'll boldly risque my Fate;—if such they be,
My Crimes, Almighty Love, I owe to thee;
Do thou then kindly my Endeavours bless,
Plead thou my Cause, and I'll not fear Success.
