Part 22 (2/2)
_Chi._ On the Stygian Banks.
_Mem._ When?
_Chi._ Four days hence.
_Mem._ Go n.o.ble Ghost, I will attend.
_Chi._ I thank ye.
_Stre._ Ye have sav'd your throat, and handsomly: Farewel, Sir. [_Exit_ Chilax.
_Mem._ Sing me the Battles of _Pelusium_, In which this Worthy dyed.
_Eum._ This will spoil all, and make him worse Than e'r he was: sit down, Sir, And give your self to rest.
SONG.
_Arm, arm, arm, arm, the Scouts are all come in,_ _Keep your Ranks close, and now your honours win._ _Behold from yonder Hill, the Foe appears,_ _Bows, Bills, Glaves, Arrows, s.h.i.+elds, and Spears,_ _Like a dark Wood he comes, or tempest pouring;_ _O view the Wings of Horse the Meadows scowring,_ _The vant-guard marches bravely, hark, the Drums_--dub, dub.
_They meet, they meet, and now the Battel comes:_ _See how the Arrows fly,_ _That darken all the Skye;_ _Hark how the Trumpets sound,_ _Hark how the Hills rebound._--Tara, tara, tara.
_Hark how the Horses charge: in Boys, Boys in_--tara, tara.
_The Battel totters; now the wounds begin;_ _O how they cry,_ _O how they dy!_ _Room for the valiant _Memnon_ arm'd with thunder,_ _See how he breaks the Ranks asunder:_ _They flye, they flye, _Eumenes_ has the Chace,_ _And brave _Polybius_ makes good his place._ _To the Plains, to the Woods,_ _To the Rocks, to the Floods,_ _They flie for succour: Follow, follow, follow,_ Hey, hey.
_Hark how the Souldiers hollow _Brave _Diocles_ is dead,_ _And all his Souldiers fled,_ _The Battel's won, and lost,_ _That many a life hath cost._
_Mem._ Now forward to the Temple. [_Exeunt._
_Enter_ Chilax.
_Chi._ Are ye gone?
How have I 'scap'd this morning! by what miracle!
Sure I am ordain'd for some brave end.
_Enter_ Cloe.
_Clo._ How is it?
_Chi._ Come, 'tis as well as can be.
_Clo._ But is it possible This should be true you tell me?
_Chi._ 'Tis most certain.
_Clo._ Such a gross a.s.s to love the Princess?
_Chi._ Peace, Pull your Robe close about ye: you are perfect In all I taught ye?
_Cl[o]._ Sure.
_Chi._ G.o.ds give thee good luck.
