KING

I say they shall not live; our mercy would turn sin, should we but use it ere: Pity, and Love, the boss's only be of government, merely for show and ornament. Fear is the bit that men proud will restrains, and makes its vice its virtue—See it done. So early, and so curious in your dress, (fair Mistress?) these pretty ambushes and traps for hearts set with such care to day, look Like design: speak, Lady, is't a massacre resolved? is conquering one by one grown tedious sport? or is the number of the taken such, that for your safety you must kill outright? When he does leave't woman must take it up, and justly too; for robbing of the sex and giving all to you. The greatest Subject's of their power or glory. Such gentle rape thou actest upon my soul, and with such pleasing violence dost force it still; that when it should resist, it tamely yields, making a kind of haste to be undone, as if the way to victory were lose, and conquest came by overthrow. Thersames, This concerns you most, brought you her picture? If she does owe no partly of this fair dower unto the Painter, she is rich enough. There is indeed, Aglaura, a pretty sullenness dressed up in smiles, that says this beauty can both kill, and save. How Like you her Thersames? Spoke Like Thersames, and my son, come! the day holds fair, let all the Huntsmen meet us in the vale, we will uncouple there. Thinkest thou I will compound with Treason then? and make one fear another's Advocate? How strong are they? Who are they are thus weary of their lives? Take heed! I shall suspect thy hate to others, not thy love to me, begotten this service; This Treason thou thy self dost say has but and hours age, and I can give account of him, beyond that time.—Brother, in the little Tower where now Aglaura's prisoner, you shall find him; bring him along, he yet does stand untainted in my thoughts, and to preserve him so, he shall not stir out of my eyes command till this great cloud be over. I know all that! urge it no more! I love the man; and it's with pain, we do suspect, where we do not dislike: th'art sure he will have some, and that they will come to night? Get all our Guards in readiness, we will our self disperse them afterwards; and both be sure to wear your thoughts within: I'll act the rest: Follow Lords, and see quick execution done, leave not a man alive. Who treads on fire, and does not put it out, Disperses fear in many sparks of doubt. Find him; or by Osiris self, you all are TO aitours; and equally shall pay to Justice; a single man, and guilty too, break through you all! Leave us. How good is Heaven unto me! that when it gave me Traitors for my Subject's, would lend me such a Servant! Enough of that, thou dost but gently chide me for a fault, that I will mend; for I have been too poor, and low in my rewards unto thy virtue: but to our business; the question is, whither we shall rely upon our Guards again? Here! take my heart; for I have hitherto to amly spent the treasure of my love, e have it coined eight into friendship all, and make a present to thee. I apprehend thee Ziriff, but there's difficulty— I have conceived of Joy, and am grown great: Till I have safe deliverance, time's a cripple and crutches.—as for thee my Ziriff, I do here entertain a friendship with thee, shall drown the memory of all patterns passed; we will oblige by turns; and that so thick, and fast, that curious studies of it, shall not once dare to cast it up, or say b way of guess, whither thou or I remain the debtors, when we come to die. What have we here impossibility? a constant night, and yet within the room that, that can make the day before the Sun? silent Aglaura too? And such thy beauty is, that it makes good all Fortune's, sorrow looks lovely here; and there's no man, that would not entertain his griefs as friends, were he but sure they show no worse upon him—but I forget my self, I came to chide. And those indeed thou hast but paid indifferently to me, I did deserve at least fair death, not to be murdered thus in private: that was too cruel, Mistress. And I do know thou dost repent, and wilt yet make me satisfaction: Thou hast come me, moved so handsomely for pity, that I will disinherit the elder brother, and from this hour be thy Convert, not thy Lover.— Ziriff, dispatch away— and he that brings news of the Prince's welfare, look that he have the same reward, we had decreed to him, brought tidings of his death. 'Tmust be a busy and bold hand, that would unlink a chain the Gods themselves have made: peace to thy Thoughts: Aglaura — He is not come then? Where's Ariaspes? Is he not come then? Where's Ariaspes? Would! what's this? Zorannes. Traitors, let me go; villain, thou darest not do this— What a strange glass th'have showed me now my in; our sins Like to our shadows, when our day is in its glory scarce appeared, towards our evening how great and monstrous they are. Come down, come down, I will be King again, there's none so fit to be the Judge of this as ; the life you showed such zeal to save, I here could willingly return you back; but that's the common price of all revenge. From whence this Guard? Lay hold upon his instrument: Found man, dost think I am in love with villainy? all the service they can do me here is but to let these see the right I do them now is unconstrained, then thus I do proceed. Upon the place Zorannes lost his life, I vow to built a tomb, and on that tomb I vow to pay three whole years penitence, if in that time I find that heaven and you can pardon; I shall find again the way to live amongst you. It's now irrevocable, thy Father's lands I give thee back again, and his commands, and with them leave to wear the Tyara, that man there has abused.— To you Orbella, who it seems are foul as well as I, I do prescribe the self same physic I do take my self: but in another place, and for a longer time, Diana's Nunnery. For you, who still have been the ready instrument of all my cruelties, and there have canceled all the bonds of brother, perpetual banishment: nor, should this line expire, shall thy right have a place. Thy crimes deserve no less, yet caused e thou Wertenberg Heavens instrument to save my life, thou only hast that time of banishment, I have of penitence.— Aglaura, thus I freely partly with thee, and partly with all found flames and warm desires, I cannot fear new agues in my blood since I have overcome the charms thy beauty had, no other ever can have so much power, Thersames, thou lookest pale, is't want of rest? What miracles of preservation have we had? how wisely have the stars prepared you for felicity? nothing endears a good more than the contemplation of the difficulty we had to attain to it: but see, Nights Empire's out, and a more glorious auspiciously does begin; let us go serve the gods, and then prepare for jollity, this day I'll borrow from my vows, nor shall it have a common celebration, since it must be, a high record to all posterity.—
