Chapter 59

A Servant.--THE SAME.

SERVANT. The Lord Governor Aurelius Summons Cyprian to his presence, And Justina.

JUSTINA. Ah! how happy, If 'tis for the wished-for ending. Do not, Cyprian, be disheartened.

CYPRIAN. Faith, zeal, courage, all possess me: For if life must be the ransom Of my slavery to the devil, He who gave his soul for thee, Will he not give God his person?

JUSTINA. I once said that I could love thee But in death, and since together, Cyprian, we now must die, What I promised I present thee.

[They are led out by the Servant.
