Rh [Trumpets sound on Arcabon's Side, which are answer'd on Urganda's. The Grove appears in an Instant all in a  ''Flame. Fountains from below cast up Fire as in Spouts;'' ''a Rain of Fire from above. The Sky darken'd the while'' ''Thunder and Lightning. Dæmons range themselves on'' the Stage by Arcalaus; other Dæmons face Urganda's Spirits in the Air. Arcalaus advances before his Party  with his Sword drawn to Amadis.

Arcal. Let Heav'n and Hell stand neuter, while we try, On equal Terms, which of us two shall die.

[Arcalaus and Amadis engage at the Head of their Parties: A fight at the same time in the Air, and upon the Stage: Martial Musick the while mixt with Instruments ''of Horror: Thunder and Lightning. The Dæmons'' are overcome; Arcalaus falls.

Amad. Thou might'st have learnt more Policy from Hell, Than tempt the Sword by which thy Brother fell.

Urg. Sound Tunes of Triumph all ye Winds, and bear Your Notes aloft, that Heav'n and Earth may hear; And thou, O Sun, shine out serene and gay, And bright, as when the Giants lost the Day.

[The sky clears, and Tunes of Triumph resound from all Parts of the Theatre. Amadis approaches Oriana, bowing respectfully. Arcabon the while stands sullen and observing. Rh
