ACT II.
The REPRESENTATION of the WEDDING.
The Curtain must be let down; and soft Musick must play: the Cur∣tain being drawn up, discovers a Scene of a Temple: The King sitting on a Throne, bowing down to joyn the Hands of Alcippus and Erminia; who kneel on the steps of the Throne; the Offi∣cers of the Court and the Clergy standing in order by, with Or∣gulious. This wit hin the Scene.
Without on the Stage, Phillander with his sword half-drawn, held by Gallatea; who looks ever on Alcippus: Erminia still fix∣ing her eyes on Phillander; Pisaro passionately gazing on Gal∣latea: Aminth on Fallatio, and he on her; Alcander, Isillia, Cleontius, in other several postures, with the rest; all re∣maining without motion, whilst the Musick softly plays, this continues a while till the Curtain falls; and then the Musick plays aloud till the Act begins.
ACT I. SCENE I.
Enter Phillander and Gallatea inrag'd.
'TIs done, 'tis done, the fatal Knot is ti'de,
Erminia to Alcippus is a Bride;
Methinks I see the motions of her eyes,
And how her Virgin-brests do fall and rise:
Her bashful blush, her timorous desire,
Adding new flame to his too vigorous fire;
Whilst he the charming Beauty must embrace,
And shall I live to suffer this disgrace
