Master. Wipe your eyes and you had them. The Queen is here to see your blindness. Would I were blind that she might led me. O master here comes the three wenches now strike it dead for a ortune. O master what face hath she not, if I should beg a face I would have her face. O master 'tis without all these, and without all cry. How now master brother. It sh lbe done my noble Count. Ah my good Count I cannot that forget, For still to keep my memory in order, As I am Burgomaister, so love is my recorder. Now see a morning in and evening rise. The morning of my love and of my joy, I will not say of beauty, that were pride, With in this tower I would I had a torch, To light Like hero my leander heat er, Who shall be my lea der let me see, Rehearse my fortune. When you see one clad in a velvet gown And a black patch upon his eye, A patch, patch that I am, why that may be a patch of cloth, Of Buckrome, or a fustian cloth, say with a velvet patch, Upon his eye & so my thoughts may patch up love the better See where he comes, the Count, what girl a Countess, See, see, he looks as Irus said he should go not away my love, I'll meet thee straight. Thanks good master brother, but what are they that Talk with themso long are they wooers trow, I do not Like it, would they would come near. Marry r this that speaks to you has a face thin Like unto water gruel, but yet it would do your heart good if you could see it I will tell your grace the reason of it or any Thing else for I know you are a wise prince, And apt to learn. The reason why I have put in office or execution, My authority upon this nobleman consisteth, in three principal points or members, Which indeed are three goodly matters. The first is the credit of this honest man because he is rich. O I learn that in any case, the next is the forfeit of his assurance and the last I will not trouble your grace with all. We Thank you heartily, alas poor soul, How sick he is. Truly I cannot choose but pity him, In that he loves your gracious officers, I did my gracious Lord. Nay nothing sir I did but jest with you, I feared him I yth but I'll be secret thats flat. This taking why this is a very good taking how say you is it not and Like your Majesty. But Shall I entreat one boon of your Majesty. Marry even to be God father to my young Burgomai ster here. Fear not thou shalt be a joyful mother I warrant thee. O I have one of mine own I thank you sir, heres one has the sweet of them I faith: How say you master brother, am not I secret now Not yet sir till he have horns. Marry sir a face m de in form Like the ace of hearts. Here comes the two widows of the beggar and the king, little know they that both their husbands are turned in to one king, there would be old st iuing who should be Queen I faith. Fair dams what will you say to me, If I can tell you where your husoandes be.
Plot summary
Plot — The Blind Beggar of Alexandria (Irus)
Before the start of the action, Queen Aegiale proposed an adulterous liaison with Cleanthes, but was rebuffed. She then engineered his unjust banishment, but now wants to find him to renew her advances. To that end, she consults the blind beggar and fortune-teller Irus. who recommends that she publish his image throughout Egypt and offer a reward for his apprehension. What she doesn't know is that Irus is himself Cleanthes in disguise. He is maintaining a series of separate identities, passing the time by simultaneously wooing Elimine and Psamathis, while awaiting the opportunity to return and claim the Egyptian crown. The girls also consult lrus about their love-lives , and he makes predictions designed to facilitate his maJ:"riage to them both: Elirnine marries honouJ:" in the person of'Count Hermes', Psamathis marries money in the person of 'Leon', a usurer. and their friend Martia marries status in the person of the Burgomaster of Alexandria, who is really lrus ' clownish brother. lrus then uses his different personas to cuckold himself. As Leon, he seizes a nobleman's property for defaulting on a loan, even though the debt has been repaid, and produces both Hermes and lrus as witnesses in support of his version of events. Egypt is without a male heir after an enchantress transformed King Ptolemy's son into a mandrake. Now he plans to marry his daughter against her will to Prince Doricles, thereby fulfilling a prophecy that such a marriage will enable Egypt to conquer the four neighbouring kingdoms. To forestall such an eventuality, the four respective kings take advantage of the absence of Egypt's greatest general, Cleanthes, and mount an invasion. In his persona as Count Hermes, Irus murders Doricles and then, as Leon, reports Hermes' death; to defraud his clients, he then has his brother report that Leon has committed suicide. The invading kings give battle, and Cleanthes is sought when things go badly. Ptolemy is killed in battle, but Cleanthes leads the Egyptians to victory and is elected king. He accepts the defeated kings' surrender and submission, but refuses to take their crowns; he further arranges for his 'widows' to marry two of them, and promises the others Egyptian brides too.
