Monstrous I know, this woman's nature is. The worst she still; her self she now exceeds, That dares scarce trust her self with that she breeds. Hala! suppress; you needs not kindle Rage. Hala! distract? have senses lost their use? I bring you piety, duty, reason, love, Water, to quench these flames that passion move. For whom do you this sumptuous storm pre pare? Is malice currant where respect is endue? What fault in him moved these effects in you? Then Rage is lost: For there is nought in man, That equal pain with such offenses can. Will you destroy your own? Infamous act! Canst thou do worse? Ah! Calm this storm; these ugly torrents shun. Of Rage, which drown thy self, and all beside. If kind be disinherited in thee, Yet have compassion of this Orphan State. These works on Princes ruins must be built. What force can Princes forces overbear? How enters malice where there is mistrust? What way to these? These add more power: What can you add? Flatteries are plain. Usurper's fear. My spirits fail. Kings jealous are.
Plot summary
Plot — Alaham
Before the start of the action, an oracle foretold that the kingdom’s security depended on the death of the King’s eldest son, Zophi; but the pashas, ruling during the King’s senility, merely banished him. Hala, wife of the younger son, Alaham, has had a series of affairs with pashas: first Muhammad, who was forced into exile as a result, then Cain. Seeking to secure his position, Alaham has recalled Muhammad, ===== PAGE 189 ===== 1600 but Muhammad has recalled Zophi in turn, cutting Alaham out of the succession. Hala seeks to make Cain king, and persuades him to murder Muhammad; but he changes his mind after Muhammad warns him of Alaham’s ambition: Cain will tell Alaham that Muhammad is dead, but in reality he will go into hiding. Meanwhile Alaham corrupts the guard, blinds his father and brother, and seizes power. When Cain tells him of Muhammad's death, he is sent for execution — if not for murder then for lying about it, as he is told when he tries to save himself. Alaham’s sister Caelica helps Zophi and their father to take sanctuary in the temple. Alaham has the city searched, finds Caelica, and arrests her. Her cries bring the old King out of hiding, and he too is arrested. The King, Caelica, and Zophi are all burned to death; as they die, their souls call out for vengeance. Seeking to avenge Cain’s death, Hala sends Alaham a poisoned robe, and plans to kill their son before his face, so that the other child, Cain’s bastard, will inherit the kingdom; but she mistakenly kills the wrong infant. The robe kills Alaham; Hala intends to kill herself too.
