To die, or kill you, is the alternative; Rather than take your life, I will not live. Ozm. This shews the excess of generosity; But, madam, you have no pretence to die. I should defame the Abencerrages race, To let a lady suffer in my place. But neither could that life, you would bestow, Save mine; nor do you so much pity owe To me, a stranger, and your house's foe. Benz. From whencesoe'er their hate our houses drew, I blush to tell you, I have none for you. 'Tis a confession which I should not make, Had I more time to give, or you to take: But, since death's near, and runs with so much force, We must meet first, and intercept his course. Ozm. Oh, how unkind a comfort do you give! Now I fear death again, and wish to live. Life were worth taking, could I have it now; But 'tis more good than heaven can e'er allow To one man's portion, to have life and you. Ben&. Sure, at our births, Death with our meeting planets danced above, Or we were wounded by a mourning love!--Shouts within. Red. The noise returns, and doubles from behind; It seems as if two adverse armies joined.--Time presses us. Gaz. If longer you delay, We must, though loth, your father's will obey. Ozm. Haste, madam, to fulfil his hard commands, And rescue me from their ignoble hands. Let me kiss yours, when you my wound begin, Then easy death will slide with pleasure in. Benz. Ah, gentle soldiers, some short time allow! To Gaz. and Red. My father has repented him ere now; Or will repent him, when he finds me dead. My clue of life is twined with Ozmyn's thread. Red. 'Tis fatal to refuse her, or obey.--But where is our excuse? what can we say? ...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of John Dryden, Vol. 18 of 18: Illustrated With Notes, Historical, Critical, and Explanatory, and a Life of the Author To begin with Dryden's dreadful name, Should mark out something of no common fame. I cannot omit remarking, that the Dialogue concludes with n profuse panegyric, upon a theme not very congenial to Dryden's political feelings, the character of Queen Mary.
