ARGUMENT.

Semiramis , a descendant from the Kings of Egypt, founder of Babylon, and afterwards Queen of the Assyrians, in her early youth had been beloved by Assur, of the family of Belus, and his love for her had met with a corresponding esteem. Being, however ambitious, she was married afterwards to Ninus a descendant of Balus, king of Phenicia, of whom she had a child called Ninia.

Assur afterwards made her believe that it was Ninus' intention to send her away from his bed and throne, and Semiramis, who otherwise could ill brook either a companion, or a check to her absolute will, of a warlike temper, and already conqueror of so many nations which she had made tributaries to her, yielded to the solicitations of Assur, and prepared herself the poison which Assur administered to Ninus at a banquet. Ninus having discovered before his death the treason of his wife and Assur, and fearing for the life of Ninia his child, left him in charge of Fradates, in presence of the Pontiff of Belus, and charged that he should be taken to Memphis, under the name of Arasce, where he, at maturer age, became the Commander in Chief of the armies of the vast Scythian Empire. Ninus sent to Memphis his crown, his sword, and a papirus which related the high treason, and secured for his son the succession to the throne on his coming of age.

Assur seeking for royal away, had searched for Ninia to kill him, but neither Semiramis nor himself having succeeded in tracing him, it was thought that he had perished.

Azzema, a Princess and descendant of the family of Belus, was the heir to the throne, and beloved by Arasace who had saved her honor and her life. Assur to be sure of the throne, was also a pretendant, and Idrenus wished also to marry her. What happened at Babylon on the day appointed for the choice of Azzema's husband, and successor to the throne, is the subject of this drama.
