You do awake your faith: Then, all stand still;
Or, those, that think it is unlawful businefs
I am about, let them depart.

LEO. Proceed;

No foot fhall ftir.

[Musick.

PAU. Musick; awake her: ftrike.
"Tis time; defcend; be ftone no more: approach;
Strike all that look upon with marvel: Come;
I'll fill your grave up: ftir; nay, come away;
Bequeath to death your numbnefs, for from him.
Dear life redeems you. You perceive, she stirs :

[Hermione comes from her Pedeftal.

Start not; her actions fhall be holy, as,
You hear, my fpell is lawful: do not shun her,
Until you fee her die again; for then

You kill her double: Nay, present your hand :
When she was young, you woo'd her; now, in age,
Is fhe become the fuitor?

LEO. O, fhe's warm!

If this be magick, let it be an art
Lawful as eating.

POL. She embraces him.

CAM. She hangs about his neck;

If the pertain to life, let her speak too.

POL. Ay, and make't manifeft where she has liv'd, Or how ftoln from the dead.

PAU. That she is living,

Were it but told you, fhould be hooted at

Like an old tale; but it appears, she lives,

Though yet fhe fpeak not. Mark a little while. —

Please you to interpose, fair madam; kneel,

And pray your mother's bleffing :-Turn, good lady;

2 On: those

Our Perdita is found.

HER. You gods, look down,

And from your facred vials pour your graces

Upon my daughter's head!

Tell me, mine own,

Where haft thou been preserv'd? where liv'd? how found Thy father's court? for thou fhalt hear, that I, — Knowing by Paulina, that the oracle

[ocr errors]

Gave hope, thou waft in being, have preserv'd
Myfelf, to fee the issue.

PAU. There's time enough for that;

Left they desire, upon this push, to trouble
Your joys with like relation. Go together,
You precious winners all; your exultation
Partake to every one: I, an old turtle,

Will wing me to fome wither'd bough; and there
My mate, that's never to be found again,
Lament, 'till I am loft.

LEO. O, peace, Paulina;

Thou should'st a husband take by my confent,
As I by thine a wife: this is a match,

And made between's by vows. Thou haft found mine;

But how, is to be queftion'd: for I saw her,

As I thought, dead; and have, in vain, faid many
A prayer upon her grave: I'll not feek far,

(For him, I partly know his mind) to find thee
An honourable husband: Come, Camillo,

And take her by the hand: whose worth, and honesty,
Is richly noted; and here juftify'd

By us, a pair of kings. Let's from this place.
What, look upon my brother? both your pardons,
That e'er I put between your holy looks

My ill fufpicion. This † your fon-in-law,

And fon unto the king; who, heavens directing,
Is troth-plight to your daughter. - Good Paulina,
Lead us from hence; where we may leisurely
Each one demand, and answer to his part
Perform'd in this wide gap of time, fince first
We were diffever'd: Haftily lead away.
