MELAMPUS

Harpastes? Are we only scaped? Then the storm has played the hangman, and saved us innocent. The wrack was great and full of horror. We escaped miraculously. No, my vows were of another nature, I vowed To live well, and changed my bloody purpose. If mine eyes deceive me not, here comes one will deny the payment. No Madam, she's returned. The scurviest entertainment, I did not think it pos sible so short a time could have prepared one so ill, 'twas thought on before, and pains taken to order it so much for the worse: This was the first day that ever me thoughts the King and my Lord Timeus looked Like the Father and the Sun, The King had on his old council face, which all hope he had forgotten and this was the only time these many years he should not have worn it, they both embraced the Stranger, as cold, and carelessly as if they had been to fight after, this behavi our in the great ones, was presently observed Like a new fashion, and in and instant the whole train was in, from the bravest to those which follow a fashion only, when 'tis to leave off something, and then look not as if they were hight: but wanting a cloak. Marry their wit's were not so change able, as their faces, and having but one Sure of Compliment, and that now unfashonable, they were feign to supply it with Legs, and Silence. He look't much above it in my opinion, two foot higher then my Lord Timeus though not altogether so tall, these Sour looks were all the without-door show, which indeed in a solemn March, they returned all into the Pal lace, Shew's Papers. the Strangers seemed rather to follow with a silent con fent then and invitation; there the press shoock me off to find this out for your graces mirth, and at my return, as I least expected, I found the Prince all alone where any body might have seen him for nothing, the Grecian, and the Trojan Captains in the hangings were all his company, with whom he seemed well suited, had they been alive his looks were as challinging as theirs, and standing so, bred much comparison. Look, look, I told you what you'd do, you are so forward. Your Grace? So, 'tis well Sir, the Princess hath taken notice of your worth, and commanded me to reward your. Attend tomorrow and you shall receive it, and pray see that her grace have all your labours (as you call they) and your foe ling. Exit Poet. The Prince. This entrance was something abrupt, and beyond the intent of our Poet. I Madam, but 'twas improper here. I am Madam, does your grace incline, I see a Prince is too high a personage and spoils a Comedy, shall not our Play go on? Nay, Madam, take us along with you, we cannot main taine the Stage without our parts. Exeunt. Ladies. My Lord Aratus, save you. Bless me, my Lord, what pale man have you God there? For a Lady? I never saw such a Devils playfellow. They are put into and inke-bottle. I am turned when I hear reason. I beseech, my Lord, let me be she. Not unless yowl stand by me. I know not what to think of so much wonder, what rarities shall I be mistress of, and none envy me. Yes, she went hence but now. You may, but call my servant along with you.
