His passion so what Stoic could controull, Whom now to weep, their tears would not compel? What age could erst such stately beauty's show, Which of perfection hold the highest place, And born to bring, though now they be brought low, Do Beauty beautify, give Grief a grace? Sir, such a victory hath not been seen As you have gained, since conquering (as appears) The largest kingdom, and the fairest Queen, That Asia vaunted of, these many years. Durst Leda's, or Agenors brood compare With that sweet Queen, the honour of her kind? But as she is above all others fair, As far her daughters make her go behind; It seemed at first that sorrow had been sleeping, Then whilst those Virgins in their Grand-dames bosom, With weeping beauty, and with beauteous weeping, Did with a hail of pearl, blast Beauty's blossom: So large a power, no Prince on Earth can have, As hath Loves Empire in their face confined. We dare resist (whilst many a thousand die) The steely tempests of a world of men, But if from ivory orbs two Sunny eyes Do charge the soul (I know not how) Oh then A secret power (composed of Hope's and fears) So charms the mind, that it strange thoughts conceives, And straight the heart (quassed drunk by eyes and ears) Does staggering reel, and full of fancies raves. I'm glad (my Sovereign) that as you excel, Not only men, but Mars himself in arms, That from your mind, you likewise may repel The flattering power of loves alluring charms, That virtue rare, whose rays shine in your words, With generous ardour does inflame my soul, And over my self to me such power affords; That some brave deeds must straight this course control Since death hath put a perjod to his woes, That favour which to him you would extend, Let it with fury flame against his foes, For your designs can have no fairer end: So shall you both the peoples love obtain, While by your means revenged their Sovereign rests, And likewise may the more securely reign, The state well purged from such contagious pests, "If but one virtue did adorn a king, "It would be justice; many great defects "Are veiled thereby, whereas each virtuous thing "In one who is not just, the world suspects.

Bessus and Narbazanes plan to betray Darius to Alexander in the hope of getting kingdoms for themselves. Darius learns that his wife has died, but is impressed by Alexander's honourable treatment of her. Narbazanes encourages him to resign the crown to Bessus, while others advise him not to trust the two traitors, and to rely on his mercenary troops if necessary. Darius meditates on tl1e inevitable fall of princes and accepts the coming of death. The traitors spread a rumour that he has committed suicide, then take him prisoner and offer him to Alexander. Darius dies with a speech honouring Alexander for his magnanimity in victory. Alexander vows to hunt down and dismember the traitors.
