SCENE X.
The Pallace Stairs—where Perdiccas and Cassander have al∣most
beaten the Queens party,—but Oroondates, and his
Souldiers enter, and joyn the Queens party.—
Oroon.
Hold, hold, Perdiccas, here's a Nobler Foe,
You have before you Oroondates now:
The Gods by th' Queen have giv'n this happy hour,
Which must decide who shall be Conquerour.
Per.
Those Gods you mention have to me prov'd kind,
Since thus my hated Enemy I find.
And they've decreed, I plainly now descrie,
'Tis I that must this Gordian Knot untie:
And thus thy Death shall give me Victory,
Both parties Fight, Perdiccas almost prevails.
Enter Seleucus on Oroondates's side, with his
party, and beat off Perdiccas party.
Oroon.
In vain they Fight, for we are Conquerours made,
Since Brave Seleucus comes unto our Aid.
Exeunt.
