Lords, e're you part Be witness to another change of wonder; _Antinous_, now be bold, before this presence, Freely to speak, whether or no I us'd The humblest means affection could contrive, To gain thy love.
Antinous:
Madam, I must confess it, And ever am your servant.
Erota:
Yes _Antinous_, My servant, for my Lord thou shalt be never: I here disclaim the interest thou hadst once In my too pa.s.sionate thoughts.

Antinous:
You cannot Sir bestow her On a more n.o.ble Gentleman.
Ca.s.silanes:
Saist thou so?
_Antinous_ I confirm it. Here _Fernando_, Live both as one; she is thine.
Antinous:
And herein Sister, I honour you for your wise setled love.
This is a day of Triumph, all Contentions Are happily accorded: _Candy's_ peace Secur'd, and _Venice_ vow'd a worthy friend.
