Lady E. G. Warwick, farewell! I shall not long survive thee. King E. I hope thou wilt-Elizabeth, remember His dying charge, think on thy promise giv'n. Thou shalt remain with me, with me lament Our common benefactor; we will sit And talk together of my Warwick's virtues, For I will try to emulate them all, And learn, by copying him, to merit thee. His great example shall inspire my breast With patriot zeal-shall teach me to subdue The pow'r of faction, vanquish party rage, And make me, what alone I wish to be, The happy king of an united people. [Exeunt omnes. THE END. |
