I may leap into consuming Flames--while all my Tents are burning round about me. [Wildly. Oh thou dear Prize, for which alone I toil'd! [Weeps, and lies down by her. Enter _Fearless_ with his Sword drawn. _Fear._ Hah, on the Earth--how do you, Sir? _Bac._ What wou'dst thou? _Fear._ _Wellman_ with all the Forces he can gather, attacks us even in our very Camp; assist us, Sir, or all is lost. _Bac._ Why, prithee let him make the World his Prize, I have no business with the Trifle now; it contains nothing that's worth my care, since my fair Queen--is dead--and by my hand. _Queen._ So charming and obliging is thy Moan, that I cou'd wish for Life to recompense it; but oh, Death falls--all cold upon my Heart, like Mildews on the Blossoms. _Fear._ By Heaven, Sir, this Love will ruin all--rise, rise, and save us yet. _Bac._ Leave me, what e'er becomes of me--lose not thy share of Glory--prithee leave me. _Queen._ Alas, I fear thy Fate is drawing on, and I shall shortly meet thee in the Clouds; till then--farewel--even Death is pleasing to me, while thus--I find it in thy Arms-- [Dies. _Bac._ There ends my Race of Glory and of Life.
