Door, she came forth, to wait till the King called; and hearing some one sighing in the other Room, she pass’d on, and found the Prince in that deplorable Condition, which she thought needed her Aid. She gave him Cordials, but all in vain; till finding the Nature of his Disease, by his Sighs, and naming _Imoinda_, she told him he had not so much Cause as he imagined to afflict himself: for if he knew the King so well as she did, he would not lose a Moment in Jealousy; and that she was confident that _Imoinda_ bore, at this Minute, Part in his Affliction. _Aboan_ was of the same Opinion, and both together persuaded him to re-assume his Courage; and all sitting down on the Carpet, the Prince said so many obliging Things to _Onahal_, that he half-persuaded her to be of his Party: and she promised him, she would thus far comply with his just Desires, that she would let _Imoinda_ know how faithful he was, what he suffer’d, and what he said. This Discourse lasted till the King called, which gave _Oroonoko_ a certain Satisfaction; and with the Hope _Onahal_ had made him conceive, he assumed a Look as gay as ’twas possible a Man in his Circumstances could do: and presently after, he was call’d in with the rest who waited without. The King commanded Musick to be brought, and several of his young Wives and Mistresses came all together by his Command, to dance before him; where _Imoinda_ perform’d her Part with an Air and Grace so surpassing all the rest, as her Beauty was above ’em, and received the Present ordained as a Prize. The Prince was every Moment more charmed with the new Beauties and Graces he beheld in this Fair-One; and while he gazed, and she danc’d, _Onahal_ was retired to a Window with _Aboan_.
