_Abdelm._ Heaven, thou art just!
[_The Judges rise from their seats, and go before_
ALMANZOR _to the Queens Scaffold; he unbinds_
_the Queen and_ ABDELMELECH; _they all go off,
the People shouting, and the Trumpets sounding
the while._

_Boab._ Before we pay our thanks, or show our joy,
Let us our needful charity employ.
Some skilful surgeon speedily be found,
To apply fit remedies to Ozmyn's wound.

_Benz._ [_running to OZM._]
That be my charge: my linen I will tear;
Wash it with tears, and bind it with my hair.

_Ozm._ With how much pleasure I my pains endure,
And bless the wound which causes such a cure!
[_Exit_ OZM. _led by_ BENZ. _and_ ABEN.

_Boab._ Some from the place of combat bear the slain.--
Next Lyndaraxa's death I should ordain:
But let her, who this mischief did contrive,
For ever banished from Granada live.

_Lyndar._ Thou shouldst have punished more, or not at all:
By her thou hast not ruined, thou shalt fall.
The Zegrys shall revenge their branded line,
Betray their gate, and with the Christians join. [_Aside._
[_Exit_ LYNDARAXA _with_ ALABEZ; _the bodies of
her Brothers are borne after her._

ALMANZOR, ALMAHIDE, _and_ ESPERANZA, _re-enter to the King._

_Almah._ The thanks thus paid, which first to heaven were due,
My next, Almanzor, let me pay to you:
Somewhat there is of more concernment too,
Which 'tis not fit you should in public know.
First let your wounds be dressed with speedy care,
And then you shall the important secret share.

_Almanz._ Whene'er you speak,
Were my wounds mortal, they should still bleed on;
And I would listen till my life were gone:
My soul should even for your last accent stay,
And then shout out, and with such speed obey,
It should not bait at heaven to stop its way. [_Exit_ ALMANZ.

_Boab._ 'Tis true, Almanzor did her honour save,
But yet what private business can they have?
Such freedom virtue will not sure allow;
I cannot clear my heart, but must my brow. [_Aside._
[_He approaches_ ALMAHIDE.
Welcome again, my virtuous, loyal wife;
Welcome to love, to honour, and to life!
[_Goes to salute her, she starts back._
You seem
As if you from a loathed embrace did go!
