Hydasp. Let them be brought forthwith into our presence, They may be found a fitting sacrifice And an oblation to be offered Unto our gods for this our victory, Being the first fruits of the wars. Enter Theagines, Cariclea, Aura and Bogoas the officer of Oroondates lead in prisoners. Ye gods The king raiseth himself from his throne, And sits down again in a study. Be merciful unto me!
