Rox. Nor he nor heaven shall shield thee from my justice. Die sorc'ress, die, and all my wrongs die with thee ! [Stabs her. Alex. [Without.] Away, ye slaves ! stand off-quick let me fly With lightning's wings! nor heav'n nor earth shall stop me. Enter ALEXANDER. Ha! oh my soul! my queen, my love, Statiral My only love, my best and dearest blessing! Alex. Thou shalt not leave me-Cruel, cruel, stars! Oh, where's the monster, where 's the horrid fiend, That struck at innocence and murder'd thee ! Rox. Behold the wretch who, desperate of thy love, In jealous madnes gave the fatal blow; A wretch that to possess once more thy love Alex. To dungeons, tortures, drag her from my sight. Alex. Look up my love. Oh Heaven and will you, will you, take her from me! Stat. Farewell, my most lov'd lord: ah me! fare. That I may execute before I follow thee! Stat. Leave not the world till Heaven demands you-Spare Roxana's life-'Twas love of you that caus'd Enrich it with a tear, and I am happy. [Dies. Alex. Yet ere thou tak'st thy flight-She's gone, she's gone! All, all is hush'd, no music now is heard; The roses wither, and the fragrant breath That wak'd their sweets shall never wake 'em more! You'll find fond love and everlasting truth. That yet thou art alive.. Rox. Oh, take me to your arms: In spite of all your cruelty I love you; Alex. Hence, fury, hence: there 's not a glance of But like a basilisk comes wing'd with death. Rox. Oh speak not thus to one who kneels for mercy! Think for whose sake it was I madly plung'd Into a crime abhorrent to my nature. Alex. Off, murd'ress, off! for ever shun my sight; My eyes detest thee, for thy soul is ruin. Rox. Barbarian! yes, I will for ever shun thee. And I could curse myself for being kind. That has revenge in store for perjur'd love, But what are curses? curses will not kill, Nor ease the tortures I am doom'd to feel. Alex. Oh my fair star, I shall be shortly with thee! What means this deadly dew upon my forehead? My heart too heaves Cas. The poison works. Enter EUMENES. Eum. Pardon, dread sir ! a fatal messenger: The royal Sysiganibis is no more. Struck with the horror of Statira's fate She soon expir'd, and with her latest breath Left Parisatis to Lysimachus. But what I fear most deeply will effect you, Fraser, W. Esq. Wimpole-street.
