THIMANTES, ISMENIA.
THIMANTES.

THIMANTES.

ISMENIA.
Well, let it be so then, J doubt it not, But J shall be providd in good time; When one forsakes me, presently another Offers his service, otherwise J should, In this unlucky moment of thy change, Be destitute of an officious Lover; But thanks unto the Gods, more then one calls me

ISMENIA.
For all this J am troubled For thy disquiet, without further jesting, Know that this trouble which possesseth thee Proceeds but from a fiction, speedily I'l clear it to thee, only have but patience To stay here till the Shepheard Clidamant Arrives, before whom I have order to Discover the deceit; and then I know Thou wilt excuse me for it.—
here he comes.
