And why is Abdilmelec then so slow To chastise him with fury of the sword, Whose pride does swell to sway beyond his reach, Follow this pride then with fury of revenge. Sheath not your swords you soulders of A murath, Sheath not your swords you Moors of Barbary That fight in right of your anointed king, But follow to the gates of death and hell, Pale death and hell to entertain his soul. Follow I say to burning Phlegiton, This traitor tyrant and his companies. Brave Abdelmelec, thou thrice noble Lord, Not such a wound was given to Barbary, Had twenty hosts of men been put to sword As death, pale death with fatal shaft hath given. Lo dead is he, my brother and my King Whom I might have revived with news I bring. You trusty soldiers of this warlike King, Be counsel de now by us in this advise, Let not his death be bruited in the camp, Least with the sudden sorrow of the news, The army wholly be discomfited. My Lord Zareo thus I comfort you, Our Moors have bravely born themselves in fight Likely to get the honour of the day If ought may got be where lose is such. Therefore in this apparel as he died My noble brother will we here advance, And set him in his chair with cunning props, That our Barbarians may behold their King And think he does repose him in his Tent. Retreat is sounded through our Camp, & now From battles fury cease our conquering Moors, Pay thanks to heaven with sacrificing fire, Alcazar and you towns of Barbary. Now hast thou fit as in a trance and seen, To thy souls joy and honour of thy house, The trophies and the triumphs of thy men, Great Abdilmelec and the God of kings, Hath made thy war successful by thy right, His friends whom death and fates hath taken from thee, Lo this was he that was the peoples pride, And cheerful Sunshine to his subjects all, Now have him hence, that royally he may Be buried and imbalmd, as is meet. Zareo, have you through the camp proclaimed As erst we gave in charge? We thank you all, and as my lawful right, With Gods defence and yours shall I keep.
Plot summary
Plot — The Battle of Alcazar
The law of Barbary provides that the sons of Ml} Mahanietieque shall succeed one another, but the eldest son has arranged to bypass his brothers and pass the kingdom to his own eldest son, MilyMahamet The third son of Xeque, AIBGEIMIEIEE, flees into exile, and, after his father’s death, Muly Mahamet has his own brothers and his eldest uncle murdered to secure his power. Abdelmelec returns to Barbary with military support from the [RG@FKISHINEMIperor, deposes Muly Mahamet, and re-establishes the succession on his own younger brother, Sth Muly Mahamet lives rough, eating the raw flesh of wild animals, and solicits military help from S@bastian of Portugal, offering him the crown of Morocco. Sebastian in turn seeks aid from other princes; SHURE and his allies, delayed in Lisbon on the way to convert Ireland to Catholicism, are also conscripted. Spurred on by a promise of Spanish troops which fail to arrive, Sebastian sets sail for Africa. The two sides prepare their forces and join battle at Alcazar. Abdelmelec dies after initial setbacks, but Seth rallies the troops by displaying the dead body propped ===== PAGE 430 ===== up to look as if alive. As the tide of battle turns, Muly Mahamet procures a horse to flee, but is drowned when the horse throws him in the river. Stukely’s men turn on him, and he dies after telling the audience his life story. Sebastian is also killed in the thick of battle. Seth becomes King of Barbary, and orders Muly Mahamet’s body flayed and stuffed as a warning to potential traitors. B-Text The excision of one scene (@iB) has little substantive effect on the narrative. Obviously there may have been changes in the part of the MS which has not been preserved. In particular, the conclusion may have been amended to tie in with SESESHORNOMPSRUEA! (1284). This must have been a sequel based on the rumours of Sebastian's survival, rather than another retelling of the same stor: both plays were apparently in the Admiral's Men's repertory in the same year. ttis therefore possible that Sebastian was not seen to be dead (or indeed seen not to be dead) at the end of the B-Texi.
