[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.[To Arcalnus falling.

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.
