SCENE VII.
CIMENA. Page.
CIM.
WHat said Roderigo, boy? when he departed.
PAGE.
Nothing, but in his looks one might discover, Amazement joyn'd with grief to be excluded.
CIM.
Excluded, whence? not from my heart I'me sure There he makes good the place he ever had, Were it a easie to remove him thence As from my presence, I should feare no rivall, Take your Lute boy, and sing the song I gave you, It sutes my present state.
The Boy sings.
'TWas not his person nor his parts, Though nere so fam'd that wonne me, He lov'd, he said, which I believ'd; And that faith has undone me.

His vertues were alike to all, Nor were they more to me, I honor'd them, but lov'd the man▪ Because that he was he.
Who since he has his love forgon, And is himself no more: I love him not as he is now, But as he was before.
CIM.
Tis true I must still love him, the remembrance That I was once Roderigo's only object, Is that I cherish now.
