Full speech
Here's a coil to keep fire and tow a sunder. I wone der the King should shut his daughter up so close: for any thing I see, she hath no mind to a man. That's no question, I know it by my self, and whilst I stand centinel, I'll watch her for that I warrant her. To the gate, to the gate, and know who it's ere you open. Jewels to us? Rare! Shut the gate for fear the King come, and if he ring clap the Pedlars into some of you old rotten corners. And hath K. Jupiter be at all this cost? he's a courteous Prince, & boun tifull. Keep you the pedlar continued ̄ pany, my Lady shall see mine too. Here forsooth Lady, hold up your head and blush not, my Lady will not hurt thee, I warrant thee. Gramarcy for this, this is good to hide my wrinkles, I never see of these afore. 'Tis good to have and eye. He court a princess? he looks not with the face. Well pedlars, for this night take a nap upon some bench or oh there, and in the morning be ready to take thy yard in thy hand to measure me some stuff, and so to be gone before day. Well, goodnight, we must attend our princess. Where be these Pedlars? nay quickly, for heaven sake: the gate is open, nay when? farewell my honest friends, and do our humble duties to the great King Jupiter. Content your self, you speak according to your age and appetite. We that are full fed may praise fast. We that in our heat of youth have drunk our bellyfuls, may deride those that in the heat of their bloods are athirst. I measure her by what I was, not by what I am. Appetite to love never fails and old woman, till cracking of nuts leaves her. When Danae hath no more teeth in her head then you and I, Il'e trust a man in her company, and scarce then: for if we examine our selves, we have even at these years, qualms, and rheums, and devises comes over our stomachs, when we but look on a proper man. What do we talking of things? there must be no med ling with things in this place, come let us set our watch, and take our lodgings before the Princess chamber, I learnt that in my youth, still to know who knocked before I would open. And from Jupiter? Admirable! We weight well upon my Lady. My Lady calls. We have trifled the night till bed time. Some attend the Princess: others see the Pedlars packed out of the gate. Consider all things, we have no reason to deny that. What needs we fear? alas they are but Pedlars, and the greatest Prince that breathes would be advised ere he durst presume to court the princess Danae. Nay, when I say farewell, farewell. If any stand centinel in her quarters, we shall keep quar ter here no longer. If the Princess miscarry we shall make gun powder, and they say and old woman is better for that then Salt peter. Run, run, you that have the best legs, and tell my Lady. But have you any more of the same? Yonder's my Lady. Nay never be abashed Pedlar, There's a face will become thy jewels, as well as any face in Creet or Arges either. Now your token. Hey-ho, Sleep may enter in at my mouth, if he be no bigger then a two-peny-loafe. Then clap close to the gate and let him in. This is the rich and famous Darreine Tower, Where King Acrisius hath enclosed his daughter, The beauteous Danae, famous through the world For all perfections. And I can tell thee pedlar, thou hast that courtesy that never any man yet found but the King Acrisius. I'l run and show mine to my Lady. The larme bell rings, It should be K. Acrisius by the found of the clapper. Thou seemest a stranger to ask such a question, For where is not the tower of Darreine known? Comes he wlth presents, and shall he unpack at the gate? nay come into the Porters lodge good Pedlars. The best that ever I saw! Heaven be as chary of your Highness life, As we of Dana's honour. Now if she be a right woman, she will have a mind only to lose that, which her father hath such care to keep. There is a thing that commonly sticks under a woman's stomach. And have we not reason, considering the penalty? Does my Lady want nothing?
Plot summary
Plot — The Golden Age, or The Lives of Jupiter and Saturn
King Uranus of Crete is dead. Titan is the eldest son, but his younger brother Saturn is the popular choice to ascend the throne. Titan agrees to make way for him provided that he agrees to settle the succession on Titan’s issue and kill his own sons as soon as they are born. Saturn is declared a god, and under his benevolent rule, the people learn agriculture, ship- building, and architecture, and begin to make weapons for hunting. His wife, Sibylla, becomes pregnant, but Saturn keeps his promise to Titan and kills the baby. During a second pregnancy, an oracle foretells that the child will depose Saturn. This time Sibylla demands the privilege of killing her own child; but neither she nor her women can bring themselves to do it, so the baby is sent to a foster mother, the Princess of Epirus, and Saturn is deceived with the blood of a goat. Jupiter grows up in the court of King Melisseus of Epirus, and is sent as an envoy to conclude a peace with King Lycaon of Pelasgia; but Lycaon has murdered the Epirote hostage and offers his limbs to Jupiter as a cannibalistic banquet. Jupiter deposes Lycaon and the people elect him their King. During the conflict, he encounters Callisto, Lycaon’s daughter, and is attracted to her. She asks him to grant her a boon to prove his love; he promises, but her request is to live a chaste life as a nymph of Diana.

During a stag hunt, he diverts her, reveals his identity and rapes her. Months later, the nymphs undress to bathe together; Callisto is reluctant, and is forcibly stripped. She is found to be pregnant. and expelled from the order. Titan learns that Saturn’s sons are alive, and marches on Crete to seize the throne.

Saturn’s ===== PAGE 135 ===== 1611 message arrives, confirming Jupiter’s origins, and he goes to Crete, leaving Archas as King in his stead. Meanwhile Titan and his sons have taken Saturn prisoner.
