The Maids Tragedy Alter'd.
39
The Heav'n, the Air, Earth, and the boundless Sea,Make but one Temple for the Deity.That was a Witness to my former Vow:None can Amintor justly claim, but you.Who gives himself away the second time,Creates no title, but commits a Crime.
Asp. I could have dy'd but once; but this believ'dI may (alas!) be more than once deceiv'd.Death was the Port, which I almost did gain,Shall I once more be tost into the Main?By what new Gods, Amintor, will you swear?
Am. By the same Gods, that have been so severe;By the same Gods, the justice of whose WrathPunish'd the infraction of my former faith.May every Lady an Evadne prove,That shall divert me from Aspasia's Love.
Asp. If ever you should prove unconstant now;I shall remember where those Berries grow.

Am.
