His majesty hath sent Sebastian The good and harmless king of Portugal, A promise to resign the royalty And kingdom of Morocco to his hands, But when this haughty offer takes effect, And works affiance in Sebastian, My gracious Lord warned wisely to advise, I doubt not but will watch occasion, And take her foretop by the slenderest hair, To rid us of this miserable life. What rests then but Abdelmelec may Beat back this proud invading Portugal, And chastise this ambitious Negro more With thousand death's for thousand damned deeds. Great sovereign, vouchsafe to hear me speak, And let Zareos counsel now prevail, While time does serve, and that these Christians dare Approach the field with warlike Ensigns spread, Let us in hast with all our forces meet, And hem them in, that not a man escape, So will they be advised another time, How they do touch the shore of Barbary. My Lord, such chance as wilful war affords Such chances and misfortunes as attend On him, the God of battle and of arms, My Lord, when with our ordnance fierce we sent Our Moors with smaller shot as thick as hail, Follows apace to charge the Portugal, The valiant Duke the devil of Auero, The bane of Barbary, fraughted full of ire Breaks through the ranks, and with five hundred Horse All men at arms, forward and full of might, Assaults the middle wing, and puts to flight Eight thousand Harquebus that served on foot, And twenty thousand Moors with spear & shield: And therewithal the honour of the day. His honours and his types he hath resignde Unto the world, and of a manly man Lo, in a twinkling a senseless stock we see. Right politic and good is your advice. Go then to see it speedily performed. Brave Lord, if Barbary recover this, Thy soul with joy will fit and see the sighed. We have my Lord, and rich rewards pro posed For them that find the body of the king, For by those guard that had him in their charge, We understand that he was done to death, And for his search two prisoners Portugals Are set at large to find their royal king. Not yet my Lord, but doubtless God will tell And with his finger point out where he hants. From him to thee as true succeeding prince, With all allegiance, and with honours tipes, In name of all thy people and thy land, We give this kingly crown and diadem.
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.
