Chapter 75 EPILOGUE TO MITHRIDATES, KING OF PONTUS;

BY NATHAN LEE, 1678.

You've seen a pair of faithful lovers die:

And much you care; for most of you will cry,

'Twas a just judgment on their constancy.

For, heaven be thank'd, we live in such an age,

When no man dies for love, but on the stage:

And even those martyrs are but rare in plays;

A cursed sign how much true faith decay
