six o’clock
But , my adorable maid , my business here was not to give an account of my adventure only , nor of my ravings , but to tell my _ Sylvia _ , on what my life depends ; which is , in a permission to wait on her again this ensuing night ; make no excuse , for if you do , by all I adore in heaven and earth I 'll end my life here where I received it . I will say no more , nor give your love instructions , but wait impatiently here the life or death of your PHILANDER . _ ' . is six o'clock , and yet my eyes have not closed themselves to sleep : _ Alexis _ and _ Brilliard _ give me hopes of a kind return to this , and have brought their flute and violin to charm me into a slumber : if _ Sylvia _ love , as I am sure she does , she will wake me with a dear consent to see me ; if not , I only wake to sleep for ever _ . * * * * * _ To My Fair _ CHARMER . When I had sealed the enclosed , my page , whom I had ordered to come to me with an account of any business extraordinary , is this morning arrived with a letter from _ Cesario _ , which I have sent here enclosed , that my _ Sylvia _ may see how little I regard the world , or the mighty revolution in hand , when set in competition with the least hope of beholding her adorable face , or hearing her charming tongue when it whispers the soft dictates of her tender heart into my ravished soul ; one moment 's joy like that surmounts an age of dull empire . No , let the busy unregarded rout perish , the cause fall or stand alone for me : give me but love , love and my _ Sylvia _ ; I ask no more of heaven ; to which vast joy could you but imagine -LRB- O wondrous miracle of beauty ! -RRB-
