would say Queene If I might haue my minde bi r lady Ladie Mart. I had a sute vnto the King with this Lord For the great office of high Seneshall Because of our good seruice to the state But he in scorne as he doth euery thing Hath tane it from vs both and gin 't a foole Morg. To a Sicophant a courtly parasite Sicoph. Beare witnes Madam I le goe tell the King That they speake treason Malgo. Passe vpon our swords You old exchecker of all flatterie I tell thee Archigallo shall be deposd And thou disroab'd of all thy dignitie Sicoph. I hope not so Cornw. See heere the Counsels hands Subscrib'd to Archigallos ouerthrow The names of sixteene royall English Peeres Ioynd in a league that is inviolate And nothing wants but Elidurus grant To accept the kingdome when the deede is done Sicoph. Nay then I le take your parts and ioyne with you Mart. We will not haue a Clawbacks hand comixt With such heroick peeres Sicoph. I hope my Lady Is not of their minds My most gratious Queene What I did speake in reprehensiue sort Was more because her Maiestie was present Then any offence of yours and so esteeme it God knowes I loue your highnes and these Lords Lady VVhich of you will perswade my Elidure To take vpon him Englands royaltie Mart. Madam we all haue so importund him Laying vnto his iudgement euery thing That might attract his sences to the crowne But he frost braind will not be obtaind To take vpon him this Realmes gouernment Malg. Hee is the verie soule of lenitie If euer moderation liu'd in any Your Lord with that rich vertue is possest Lady This mildnes in him makes me so despisd By the proude Queene and by her fauourits Enter Elidure Cornw. See maddam where he comes reading a booke Lady My Lord and husband with your leaue this booke Is fitter for an Vniuersitie Then to be lookt on and the Crowne so neere You know these Lords for tyrannie haue sworne To banish Archigallo from the throne And to invest you in the royaltie VVill you not thanke them and with bounteous hands Sprinckle their greatnes with the names of Earles Dukes Marquesses and other higher termes Elid. My deerest loue the essence of my soule And you my honord Lords the sute you make Though it be iust for many wrongs imposd Yet vnto me it seemes an iniurie VVhat is my greatnes by my brothers fall But like a starued body nourished With the destruction of the other lymbes Innumerable are the griefes that waite On horded treasures then much more on Crownes The middle path the golden meane for me Leaue me obedience take you Maiestie Lady Why this is worser to my lofty minde Then the late checks giuen by the angry Queene Corn. If you refuse it knowe we are determined To lay it else where Lady On your younger brother And then no doubt we shall be awde indeed When the ambition of the elders wife Can scarsly giue our patience any bounds England is sicke of pride and tirrany And in thy goodnes only to be curde Thou art cald foorth amongst a thousand men To minister this soueraigne Antidote To amend thy brothers crueltie with loue And if thou wilt not from oppression free Thy natiue Country thou art vilde as he Elid. I had rather stay his leasure to amend Lady Men heauen gods deuills what power should I invoke To fashion him a new thunder come downe Crowne me with ruine since not with a Crowne Cornw. Long life vnto the Kingly Elidure Trumpets proclaime it whether he will or no Lady For that conceit Lords you haue wonne my hart In his despight let him be straight waies Crownd That I may triumphe whilst the trumpets sound Elid. Carry me to my graue not to a Throne Lady Helpe Lords to seate him nay helpe euery one So should the Maiestie of England sit Whilst we in like state doe associate him Elid. Neuer did any lesse desire to raigne Then I heauen knowes this greatnes is my paine Lady Paine me in this sort great Lords euery day T is sweete to rule Elid. T is sweeter to obay Cornw. Liue King of England long and happily As long and happily your Highnes liue Lady We thanke you Lords now call in the deposd Him and his proud Queene bring vnto our sight That in her wrongs we may haue our delight Enter Archigallo and his Queene bound Archi. Betrayd tane prisoner and by those that owe To me their duty and allegiance My brother the vsurper of the Crowne Oh this is monstrous most insufferable Elid. Good brother grieue not t is against my will That I am made a King pray take my place I had rather be your subiect then your Lord Lady So had not I sit still my gracious Lord Whilst I looke through this Tyrant with a frowne Minion reach vp my gloue Queene Thinkst thou because Thy husband can dissemble piety And therein hath deposd my royall Lord That I am lesser in estate then Queene No thine owne answere lately giuen to me I thus reuet stoope thou proud Queene for me Sicoph. Nay then as I did lately to her Highnes I must admonish you diected Lady You doe forget your selfe and where you are Duty is debt and it is fit since now You are a subiect to beare humble thoughts Follow my counsell Lady and submit Her Maiestie no doubt will pardon it Queene There 's for your paines Sicoph.

And therein Lords effect my tragedie Lady Why strike you not oh t is a dangerous thing To haue a liuing subiect of a King Much treason may be wrought when in his death Our safty is secur'd Elid. Banish him rather oh sweete spare his life He is my brother Archi. Crownd and pray thy wife Elid. Oh brother if you roughly speake I knowe There is no hope but your sure ouerthrowe Pray be not angry with me for my loue To banishment since it must needes be so His life I giue him whosoere saies no Lady What and his Ladies to Elid.
