_Iar._ But afterwards will _Dido_ graunt me loue?

_Dido._ I, I, _Iarbus_, after this is done,
None in the world shall have my loue but thou:
So, leaue me now, let none approach this place. _Exit Iarbus._
Now _Dido_, with these reliques burne thy selfe,
And make _AEneas_ famous through the world,
For periurie and slaughter of a Queene:
Here lye the Sword that in the darksome Caue
He drew, and swore by to be true to me,
Thou shalt burne first, thy crime is worse then his:
Here lye the garment which I cloath'd him in,
When first he came on shoare, perish thou to:
These letters, lines, and periurd papers all,
Shall burne to cinders in this prectious flame.
And now ye Gods that guide the starrie frame,
And order all things at your high dispose;
Graunt, though the traytors land in _Italy_,
They may be still tormented with vnrest,
And from mine ashes let a Conquerour rise,
That may reuenge this treason to a Queene,
By plowing vp his Countries with the Sword:
Betwixt this land and that be neuer league,
_Littora littoribus contraria, fluctibus undas
Impresor: arma armis: pugnent ipsig nepotes_:
Liue false _AEneas_, truest _Dido_ dyes,
_Sic sic inuat ire sub umbras_.

_Enter Anna._

_Anna._ O helpe _Iarbus_, _Dido_ in these flames
Hath burnt her selfe, aye me, vnhappie me!

_Enter Iarbus running._

_Iar._ Cursed _Iarbus_, dye to expiate
The griefe that tires vpon thine inward soule,
_Dido_ I come to thee, aye me _AEneas_.

_Anna._ What can my teares or cryes preuaile me now?
_Dido_ is dead, _Iarbus_ slaine, _Iarbus_ my deare loue,
O sweet _Iarbus_, _Annas_ sole delight,
What fatall destinie enuies me thus,
To see my sweet _Iarbus_ slay himselfe?
But _Anna_ now shall honor thee in death,
And mixe her bloud with thine, this shall I doe,
That Gods and men may pitie this my death,
And rue our ends senceles of life or breath;
Now sweet _Iarbus_ stay, I come to thee.

_FINIS._
