SCENE VII.--ÉRASTE, LA MONTAGNE.

LA M. Sir, Orphise is alone, and is coming this way.

ER. Ah, I feel myself greatly disturbed! I still love the cruel fair

one, and my reason bids me hate her.

LA M. Sir, your reason knows not what it would be at, nor yet what power

a mistress has over a man's heart. Whatever just cause we may have to be

angry with a fair lady, she can set many things to rights by a single

word.

ER. Alas, I must confess it; the sight of her inspires me with respect

instead of with anger.
