VIGENIUS

Brother content. Morrow old graybeard. And why so. Bridle your spirit. Nay, now yowl fallen into your techy humour. Is fourth coming. Nay, but farther hear. Ey marry, more of that. A Sceptre. And if I make refusal, heaven refuse me. A King. And fit in state. And be obeyed. Servants homaging, and crying Ave. Not for the world, I long to fit in state, To purse the bounty of our gracious fate. And have our names ranked in the course of kings. For his Licentious rule, and such abuses As wele pretend gainst him in parliament. Thus wele divide the Land, all beyond Trent And Humber, shall suffice one moiety: The southpart of the Land shall make the tother, Where we will keep two Courts, and reign divided, Yet as deer loving brother's. Dear sister Q. how are we bound to you, In nearer bonds then a fraternal league, For this your royal practice to raise us, Unto the height of honour and estate, Let me no longer breath a prince on earth, Or think me worthy of your regal blood, If we embrace not this high motion. How shall we quit your love, when we ascend The state of Elydure. She's doomed already, and at your dispos , And we prepared for speedy execution, Of any plot that may avail our pomp, Or throne us in the state of Brittany. Do but call me king, the charming Spheres so sweetly cannot sing. O but where our Crown, that make knees humble, when their sovereigns frown. And thou that raisest us, as our best friend, Shall as we mount the Like degrees ascend. Well determined, And Like a king in Esse, now this night, Lets make a hostile uproar in the Court, Surprise the king, make ceazure of the Crown, Lay hands upon the counsel, least they escape to levy forces, those Lords that serve the king, and with austere reproofs, punish the hateful vices of the Land, Must not awe us, they shall not reign, we will, those that applaud us, raise, despise us, kill, The king and Crown is ours. Proclaim me captive, or a king new crowned, Martianus we. Un oh whom thou owest thy knee. Our reign beginning hath when his lines end. And more we seek thy Crown. We plead our powers & strength, we two must reign. Wilt thou submit thy Crown? He hates his own life that adviseth so. And I another. They shall by heaven. Strike valiant brother king. Now let the king descend to be disposed of At our high pleasure, come give me the Crown. Shall I pronounce his sentence. Thy life we grant thee and that Woman's to, But live divided you within the tower, You prisoner to that princess. Cornwell and Martianus you both see, We are possessed of this imperial seat, And you that were sworn liedgemen to the Crown, Should now submit to us that owe the same, We know without your graven directions, We cannot with experience guide the land, Therefore weel study to deserve your loves. Receive our grace, keep still your offices, Embrace these peers that raised us to the throne, Britain rejoice, and Crown this happy year, Two sons at once thine in thy royal sphere. You have advised us well, it shall be so. Weel have the Queen set free. In Arms well met, ambitious Peridure, Art thou not proud. Fair is the end Of such as die in honourable war, O far more fair, then on a bed of down. Such as are apt for tumult. Blushes not Peridure to brave us so. Peace fool thou dost forget, 'Tis not and hour since, to our princely ear, Thou saidst thou did desire us to forbear. What still. That whosoever conquered, he might gain. But henceforth we cashier thee from the filde. then where the field consists of such a spirit, He that subdues conquers the Crown by merit. 'tis I. Grass turn to Crimson if vigenius spare it. O rarely, rarely, and beyond opinion. I Like this state where all are Libertines But by ambitions pleasure and large will: See, see, two of our strict lived Counsellors In secret conference; they cannot endure This freedom. Bodies and all for me. List them, such strict reprovers should not live, Their austere censures on their kings to give. Now sir, my brother Archigall deposed Nor I. Or lets discover Who drew us to this hope of sovereignty. And I. Weel prove it how it fits our kingly temples, And how our brow becomes a wreathe so fair. And I attend, while you ascend the throne, Where had we right, we should fit crowned alone. I durst do much, had I but power and might, But wanting that, come let us reign together, both kings, and yet the rich crown worn by neither. Set free the Princess, say the king commands. Weel not be contermaunded. Before I'll be half a king and controlled In any regality, isle hazard all, I'll be complete or none. 'Tis ours by right, and right we will enjoy. Then lets try masteries, and one conquer all, We climd at once, and we at once will fallen. They that love us on this side. Then to the field, to set our sister free. Trumpets and Drums, triumphant music sing. That I would basely my ritcht Hope's betray. Follow my friends.
