What loitering follow have we spied here? Presume not will ne her for to go, Unless you do at length the same penned. A common vassal I villain call. What do I dream, or do my dazzling eyes Deceive me? Is't Alpho sus that I see? Does now Medea use her wonted charms For to delude Albinius fantasy? Or does black Pluto king of dark Auerne, Seek to flout m with his cou rfait? His body Like to Alphonsus framed is: His face resembles much Alphonsus hew: His noble mind declares him for no less. 'Tis he indeed, woe worth Albinius, Whose babbling tonge hath caused his own annoy. Why does not Jove send from the glittering skies His Thunder bolts to chastise this offence? Why does dame Terra cease with greedy jaws To swallow up Albinius presently? What ll I fly and hide my traitorous head, From out Alphonsus whom I so misused? Or shall I eld Tush yielding is in vain: Nor can I fly, but he will follow me. Then ast thy self down at his graces feet, Confess thy fault, and ready make thy breast, To entertain thy well de ved death. Pardon deer Lord, Albinius pardon craves For this offence, which by the heave I vow, Unwittingly I did unto your grace. For had I known Alphonsus had be here, Ere that my tongue had spoke so traitorously, This hand should make my very vie to j. That nnag, that rachel, yea that thief? Stay their sir King, your mouth runs over much, It ill becomes the subject for to use Such traitorous terms against his sovereign. Know thou Belinus, that Carinus son, Is neither rachel nor runagate, But be thou sure, that ere the darksome night Do driven God Phaebus to his Thetis lap, Both thou and all the rest of this thy train, Shall well repent the words which you have sane. Slash off his head, as though Albinius head Were then so easy to be slashed off. In faith sir no, when you are gone and dead, I hope to flourish Like the pleasant spring. Not so Belin S, I am constant still, My mind is Like to the Abeston stone, Which if it once be heat in flames of fire, Deineth to becomen cold again. Even so am I, and shall be till I die, And though I should see Attropos appear, With knife in hand, oh slit my thread in twain, Yet never Albinius should persuaded be, But that Belinus he should vanquished see. Laelius make haste, soldiers of Aragon, Set lingering by, and come and help your King. I mean Alphonsus, who whilst that he did Pursue Belinus at the very heals, Was suddenly environed about, With all the troops of mighty Milan land. Pardon deer Lord Albinius at this time, It ill becomes me for to wear a Crown, When as my Lord is destitute himself: Why high Alphonsus, if I should receive This Crown of you, the which high Jove forbid, Where would your self obtain a Diadem? Naples is gone, Milan possessed is, And nought is left for you but Aragon. Thou king of heaven, which by thy power divine, Dost see the secrets of each livers heart, Bear record now with what unwilling mind, I do receive the Crown of Aragon.
Plot summary
Plot — Alphonsus, King of Aragon
Twenty years before the action, Alphonsus’ branch of the royal family of Aragon was dispossessed of the crown through the Duke of Milan’s treachery, and banished, along with their supporters. Now, a generation later, the usurping King is making war on Naples. Alphonsus poses as a common soldier and is recruited to King Belinus’ defending army; he makes the condition that he will unconditionally own anything he wins by fighting. In battle he kills the usurping King of Aragon, and King Belinus grudgingly gives him the crown; he then claims sovereignty over Naples. After rescuing a follower from beheading by Belinus, he conquers Italy and crowns his followers. Albinius, his oldest ally, is made King of Aragon in his place, while he pursues Belinus, who has fled to the court of the Great Turk Amurack. Amurack promises Belinus military help, and summons armies from throughout his wide dominions. Encouraged by the anxious Empress Fausta, the enchantress Medea seeks supernatural information about the coming wars, and it comes in a vision to the sleeping Amurack: defeat, captivity, then release through Alphonsus’ love for his daughter Iphigina, and the expulsion of paganism. When Fausta speaks against this, she and Iphigina are banished from the court; encouraged by Medea to accept the inevitable, they go to gather their Amazon troops. The prophecy is also overheard by the god Muhammad, who withdraws his support from Amurack, but encourages his pagan allies to attack Alphonsus; when they do, they are killed in battle. Then Amurack himself gives battle, and is captured. Alphonsus woos Iphigina on the battlefield, but is scornfully rejected. Later, in defeat, she offers herself to save her father’s life, and he rejects her in turn. Alphonsus’ father, having met the dispossessed Duke of Milan, learned of Alphonsus’ success, and killed his old enemy, presents himself at court. He encourages his son to accept Iphigina after all and brokers a peace, reluctantly accepted by Amurack, which fulfils the prophecy; Alphonsus returns to Naples as heir apparent to the Turkish Empire.
