Hermogenes is forming the design ; And with him all the brave and loyal join. Palm. And is it thus you court Palmyra's bed ? Can she the murderer of her parent wed ? Desist from force : So much you well may give To love, and me, to let my father Uve. Leon. Each act of mine my love to you has shown; But you, who tax my want of it, have none. You bid me part witii you, and let him live ; But they should nothing ask, who nothing give. Palm. I give what virtue, and what duty can. In vowing ne*er to... wed another man. Leon. You will be forced to be Argaleon*s wife. Palm. 1 11 keep my promise, though I lose my life. Leon. Then you lose love, for which we both contend ; For life is but the means, but love *s the end. Palm. Oxxx souls shall love hereafter. Leon. I much fear. That soul, which could deny the body here To taste of love, would be a niggard there. Palm. Then 'tis past hope : our cruel fate, I see, Will make a sad divorce 'twixt you and me. For, if you force employ, by heaven I swear.
