MARTIANUS

My Lord of Cornwell. Morrow, You melancholy. Good morrow to Prince Elydure. Who stops this passage. Vigenius. My knee to none but Elidure shall bend. Dread sovereign, no. I hate all traitors, and had rather die, Then see such wrong done to his sovereignty. Come kill me first. Cornwell and I will bear the self same state. My Lord much honour might you win your land To give release unto your sister Queen, Being a Lady in the land beloved. Renown your self by being kind to her. Will you be braved by one thats but your equal, Having no more then party government. I. War is the soldiers harvest it cuts down. So does Martianus. this way I saw vigenius on the spur. True Brother's in ambition, and in death. To much blood already hath been spent, Now therefore since the difference in themselves, Is reconciled in either's overthrow, Let us be as we were before this Jar, And joining hands Like honourable friends, Inter their bodies as becomes their state, And which is rare once more to Elidure, Who now in prison leads a wearied life, With true submission offer England's Crown. Of all the charges of tumultuous fate, This is most strange three times to flow in state. Lets hear his accusations, And then how well thou canst aquit thy self. Sirrah, what can you say to this? Beside strange rumours and false buzzing tales, Of mutinous leesings raised by Nobody. For the decease of Archigalloes virtues, I understand you Noble minded Cornwell, What generous spirit draws this British air, But droops at Archigalloes government. Alls nought already, yet these unripe ills Have not their full growth, and their next degree Must needs be worse then nought, and by what name Do you call that? Yowl not endure it, how can you remedy A maim so dangerous and incurable? I have ears Open to such discourse, and counsel apt: And to the full recovery of these wounds Made in the sick state, most effectual, A word in private. The King deposed, how must it be effected, What strengths and powers can suddenly be levied, Who will assist this business, to reduce The state to better form and government? My Lord, we are betrayed, and overheard By the two princes. Our plots discovered. I'll doot. Some would say Elidure. What if we made the motion? we have wills To effect it, we have power to compass it. With all my heart. I had a suit unto the King with this Lord For the great office of high Seneschal, Because of our good service to the state, But he in scorn, as he does every thing, Hath taken it from us both, and gin't a fool. We will not have a Clawbacks hand commixed With such heroic peers. Madam, we all have so importuned him, Laying unto his judgement every thing That might attract his senses to the crown, But he frost brained will not be obtained To take upon him this Realms government. Your brother was a tyrant, and my knee Shall never bow to wrong and tyranny. What say these Lords that have been wronged by him. Faith as my Lord of Cornwell. So does Martianus. Madam, his highness. Dead madam. False Cards, false Dice; The kings hand counterfeit, Bonds put in suit to gain the forfitures, forged deeds to cheat men of their ancient land, And thousand such Like trash.
