I Like the courage of the man: methinks H'hath given a taste, how worthy he is of A longer Kingdom. I don't obey Him, but the King; as they that pay their vows Unto the Deity, shrouded in the Image. He's one that knows, and dares preserve his own Honour, and others too; a man as free From wronging any, as himself; he bears A Kingdom in his look; a kingdom that Consists of Beauty, seasoned with Discretion. His Graces are virile, and comely too: Grave, and severe delights so tempering The softness of his other pleasures, that A settled full content does thence arise, And wholly take up the beholders thoughts. Her pure Affections Are sacred as her Person, and her thoughts Soaring above the reach of common Eyes, Are Like those better Spirits, that have nothing Of Earth admixt, but yet look down upon Those number of Inhabitants, and where They see a worthy mind oppressed, vouchsafe At least to help with pity. WEe're Like to have and honest Court of to shortly 'Tis honest now, and shortly will not have The Power to be otherwise. There's not a woman left man; all are vanished And fled upon the sudden. What? I hope They have not changed their Sex all in a minute? They are not leap worser into rough chins, and Tulipants There's scarce a face without a beard appears. My Lords, This is not to discover what's become of em. They've taken weapons with em too they say. Can you deny ought, when the Soul is poured Out at the eyes in a Petition?
Plot summary
Plot — The Royal Slave
Five Greeks are taken prisoner by the Persians after a war with Ephesus. According to a local custom, one of these slaves must be given royal power for three days, but then killed as an offering to the sun god. Cratander, who denies the efficacy of human sacrifice, is selected, and has his fellow captives released to serve him at court. Cratander takes his royal responsibilities seriously. The lords fear that he will use his power to harm the state, and offer him the sensual pleasures of kingship, but he refuses to be distracted. Atossa, the Queen, is impressed by his self-control, and gives him a chain, exciting the jealousy of her husband, King Arsamnes. The other Greeks, however, enjoy a bibulous, lascivious good time, and are only prevented from raping Atossa’s women by the chance arrival of Cratander. Fearing further attempts, the women of Sardis take refuge in the castle. Two members of the Ephesian army who are still at liberty take the risk of coming to see Cratander at the palace. They ask him to use his power to send the Persian army back to war, with the intention that they will be massacred by the forewarned Ephesians. Cratander conscientiously refuses, but asks the Ephesian army to rendezvous with him at the castle. His plan is to allow them to be defeated in battle, but have Atossa intervene with her husband to spare them and free Ephesus. The other Greeks plan to ambush Cratander in the woods, disguised as beggars; but he recognizes them and sends them back to prison. He then joins the women in the castle. Arsamnes engages the Ephesians in battle, defeats them, and then demands that Atossa give up Cratander for sacrifice. Cratander accepts the rule of law. Reconciled with Atossa, Arsamnes attempts to pardon Cratander, but the priests are insistent that he must die. At the ceremony, however, the sun is eclipsed and a shower of rain puts out the fire: recognizing Cratander’s virtue, the sun god has refused to accept the sacrifice. Cratander accepts Arsamnes’ offer to allow him to retain his royal power, and agrees to divide his time and abilities between the affairs of Persia and Ephesus.
