PHARAMOND

He's mad, beyond cure mad. What you have seen in me to stir offence, I cannot find, unless it be this Lady offered into my arms, with the succession which I must keep: though is hath pleased your fure to mutiny within you, without disputing, your Geneallegies or taking knowledge whose branch you are, the King will leave it to me, and I dare make it mine: you have your answer. To what? what would he have answer? Sira, I forbore you before the King. But now the time is fitter, do but offer to make mention of right to any kingdom, though it lie scarce habitable. And by the gods What now? Do you sleight my greatness so much, and in the chamber of the Princess? It's and odd fellow Madame, we must stop his mouth with some office when we are married. I think he would discharge it well. Madame, I hope our hearts are knit, but yet so slow, the ceremonies ofstate are, that 'twill be long before our hearts be so, then if you please being agreed in heart, let us not wait for dreaming form, but take a little stolen delights, and so prevent our joys to come. The constetution ofmy body will never hold out till the wedding, I must seek else where. Why should these Ladies stay so long, they must Come this way, I know the Queen employs um not, For the reverend mother sent me word, They would all be for the garden: if they should all Prove honest now, I were in a fair taking: I was never so long without sport before in my life, And in my conscience 'tis not my fault. O for our country Ladies, here's one bolted, I'll hound at her. Madame. Shall I not be a trouble? Nay, nay, you're too quick by this sweet hand. Dear Lady, can you love? You much mistake me Lady. You're very dangerous bitter, Like a potion. Do Ladies of this Country use to give no more respect to men of my full being. Lady you talk of nothing all this time. This is a crafty wench, I Like her wit well, It'll be rare to stir up a leaden appetite, She's dainty, and must be courted with a shewer of gold, Madame look here, all these and more, then — Lady, Lady. If there be but two such in this Kingdom more, and near the Court, we may ene hang up our harps, ten such Campher Con stitutions as this would call the golden age again in question, and teach the old way for every ill fast husband, to get his own chil dren, and what a mischief that would breed, let all consider. She gives good words yet, sure this wench is free. Ifyour more cerious business do not call you Lady, Let me hold quarter with you, we'll talk and hour Ont quickly. Ofsome such pretty subject as your self, I'll go no further then your eye, your lip, theres time enough For one man for and Age. Oh they are two twend Cherries died in blush, Which those fair suns above with their deep beams Reflect upon, and ripen, sweetest beauty; Bow down those branches, that the longing taste Of the sweet looker on, may meet these blessings, And taste and live. Do it in prose; you cannot miss it Madame. By my life but you shall not, I'l prompt you first, Can you do it now? Stick till to morrow, isle never partly you sweetest, but we loose time. Can you love me? I'll teach you in a short sentence, Cause I will not load your memory, This is all: Love me and lie with me. Not to a willing mind, that will endeavour, If I do not teach you to do it as easily in one night, As you'll go to bed: I'll loose my royal blood for't. I'll sooner teach a mare the old measures, Then teach her any thing belonging to the function, She's afraid to lie with her self, If she have but my mascaline imagination about her, I know when we are married, I must ravish her. And for my other I see excepting your deer self, dearest Lady I had rather be Sir Timen a schoolmaster, and keep a darie maid. Out upon her, she's as cold ofher favour, as and appaplex: she sailed by but now. I hold her wit, the strength of all the guard Cannot hold it, if they were tied toot: She would blow um out of the kingdom: they talk of Iubiter, He's but a squib-cracker to her, but speak sweet Lady, Shall I be freely welcome? To your bed, ifyou mistrust my faith, you do me the most vnnoblest wrong. Make your own conditions, my purse shall seal um, and what you dare imagine you can want, i'll furnish you withal, give worship to you thoughts every morning about it, come I know you're bashful, speak in my ear, will you be mine: keep this, and with it me, soon I shall visit you. Till when, this and my heart go with thee. Not abed Ladies, yare good sitters up, what think you of a pleasing dream to last till morning? I find no music in these boys. Ladies all good rest, I mean to kill a buck, tomorrow morning, ere you have done your dreams. What saucy groom knocks at this dead of night, where be our waiters, by my vexed soul he meets his death, that meets me for this boldness. The king? If your grace please to use me, i'll attend you to your chamber. I have certain private reasons to my self sir, Makes me unmannerly, and say you cannot: Nay, press not forward, he must come through my life, That comes here. I will not be dishonoured thus, he that enters, enters upon his death, sir 'tis a sign you make no stranger of me, to bring these runagates to my chamber, at these unseasoned hours. I so no. No, we have taken her horse, he galloped empty by, there's some treason: you Gallatea road into the Wood with her, Why left you her? Command, you should not. If I have her not, by this sword, there shall be no more Cycele. I will not leave one man alive, But the king, a Cook, and a Taylor. Each man a several way, here I my self. What art thou. O secret spring ofinnocent blood. Speak villain, who has hurt the Princess? But who has done it? How, will you have me kill him? By this air, i'll leave never a piece bigger then a nut, and bring him all in my hat. I will. By all my Love, I will: Woodman, conduct the Princess unto the king, and bear that wounded fellow to dressing: Come Gentlemen, we'll follow the chase close. To this place I tract him by his blood. Oh thou damned in thy creation, what cause couldst thou shape to strike the Princess? I will know who hired thee to this deed. If tortures can be found, long as thy natural life, Resolve to feeleth utmost vigor. Who's that? How's this? Thy own tongue be thy Judge. The fellow that did fight with him, will tell us that.
