which he durst not Seeke to have forc'd from me But it 's now past helpe Scan. There 's one way yet left Madame to helpe all Land He then transported by his fierce desire Which slav'd him by craft I 'll give it no worse A name did that wrong to my modestie Which I being not so deepe in passion Might well have hinder'd and by yeelding to it Have given scope for others to condemne me Ing. Which none can justly doe For I 'm assur'd Madame though you have cause not to beleeve it That his intents to your grace were sincere At first as now they are and therefore deare Queene You are to meete his past ill with your goodnesse Which if you doe not speedily there will be No time nor meanes hereafter left for you To exercise your vallor in this cause Land When we behold our neighbors house on fire The Proverbe sayes we ought looke to our owne This you conceive and I suppose you are Inform'd by these that love you that we have As many valiant men and women in A readinesse as may if heaven be pleas'd For we are pleas'd in 't reinthrone your King And chase those rebels that now urge his flight Let then my brother the Prince Valdemar And you make all the haste you can before us With newes of our approach And one thing more I must intreat you doe for me which is To deliver this Letter unto him that Caus'd my sorrow and left me great with child Which fruit of his he shall soone looke on young Frideslaus Vald. He sho'd a' stayd to have got Such another Scan. In honesty he could Have done no lesse Ing. Your graces Letter I hope Within these three houres he shall reade at furthest Vald. You 'll give me leave to goe before to provide A lodging for you Scan. Yes for I meane to be Your bedfellow to morrow night Vald. And I shall strayne my selfe to bid you welcome Ing. The King will doe as much too for your Highnesse Land Fy not so soone man that were a shame indeed People wo'd then say that I went to aske it smilingly Nor does he neede me having one at least Already to keepe him warme Ing. He thinkes of none But your Grace Vald. We must be now abrupt in our Leave taking Land Be gone Scania fare you well Inguar may all The gods be your guides Exeunt ambo Land And now Marfisa Silence declares with you how gladly your heart Consents to goe for Denmarke Mar. I meane to doe Your Majestie some service there now that You measure my affection by your owne Scan. But what if you come to weare the Willow garland By the inconstancie of Captaine Hubba Mar. Not doe as the Queene did forgive the offence Fat No lesse then 's life would satisfie your anger Mar. Doe you make doubt on 't Elsin. I beleeve him honest Land What is your owne opinion Marfisa Mar. I still suppose the best Land Then wayte upon My cousin Fatyma and both of you make haste To summon with all speede on paine of death All our troops both men and women in Anstoy Saltsburge and thereabouts Our Sister and Aunt Shall to the neerer quarters whilst I prepare Here all things requisite for our departure And as we once made no small haste to meete King Reyner when he brought us ayde against Our foes let 's doe the same in gratitude And with more honour now in assisting of him Those which we leave will keepe safe here Away Fat The trust impos'd on us we 'll not betray Exeunt omnes severally A march Then enter Harrold Eric and Lothaire arm'd Har. We must make haste Lord Lothaire now that by The helpe of heaven for which we chiefly move And the assistance which you Lord and ours The noble Emperor Lewis true inheritor Of his great fathers vertues did afford us We are ascended to what is our right Being thereto lifted by your manly worth too To make all sure by joyning our last issue With Reyner ere the brave Landgartha come Whom he once more thinkes to deceive For where Shee leads all goes to wracke i' th' other side Loth. It 's strange so stout a minde as hers sho'd ever Yeeld love or obedience to a man that has So basely dealt to her Eric She squares all her Actions by the rule of goodnesse not Of passion and thinkes this deede of hers A very gratefull offering to her gods Yet we doe hope to send before she land here Her husbands rancke soule to great Belzebub Har. Then let 's march on with speede and trust our cause To him that only gives life by his lawes Exeunt a march After the march Enter Reyner and Hubba Rey. Heare you no newes from Inguar Hubba yet Hub. Not a word But a ship is now on entring In at the haven and we hope it 's his Rey. No no We are of all the world forsaken But most of heaven For we have deserv'd it And our repentance now comes too too late Hub. I doe beseech you sir not to yeeld to Such weake unmanly diffidence Rey. We wrong'd Thee Hubba too and now thy loyaltie And kindnesse wounds our soule deeper then if thou hadst Prov'd false all turnes to my confusion Hub. It was your passion and not you strucke me sir Rey. Would I were quickly dead or never borne To see the evils which I have occasion'd And must needs feele if I but live a while Hub. Your noble Queene Landgartha will I doubt not If i' th' meane time sir you doe what lyes in you With patience soone rid you of those feares And State you as before and in her love too Rey.

You 'll finde Your selfe deceiv'd I hope sir in that ere long Rey. Had I but faithfull prov'd to her as she Deserv'd thou know's it Hubba I might then a' playd at stoole-ball with young children or Have wasted time more idlely if I 'd listed And have my estate multiply'd to many Kingdomes Now thou seest we are not worth one Province Stricke me heaven Enter Valdemar and Inguar Vald. Honest Captaine I Am glad to meete you alive Hub. Your Highnesse poore servant Ing. The King walkes strangely sad Hub. He 's not himselfe and therefore whatsoever Newes you bring y' had neede use your accustomed Discretion in the relating of it Rey. You are both as welcome hither as my Distraction will give me leave to bid you Vald. I never knew you sir too much exalted At flatt'ring Fortunes smiles or when you Conquer'd And now she frownes you still ought to preserve A valiant indifferencie Rey. Healthy men Know how t' afford good counsell unto others Whose forces being too weake to beare the blowes Of their diseases yeeld and

She is divinely faire and in her mind The noblest vertues keepe their residence As in their loveli'st habitation Being all in love with her I thinke as I am From my sad heart warme teares teares of affliction The fire of my affection doth send up Into my eyes that thence distill in streames Which yet to me are torrents of sweet joyes Ioyes that this is for her my griefe proceeds From a profound feare I shall never gaine her Injoy that unpeer'd modell of perfection There is no way but one to pull the fruit Jove would turne Goose taste she 's so reserv'd To the least vicious acts Wretch that hope Is not yet left thee For being nobly borne Though she no fit match be for us in lieu Of worldly substance being in her selfe An ample dowry for a richer Prince We sho'd and gladly sue to be her husband But a report goes she will joyne with no man In such an obligation which that she Will not at all have me is that which striks A blacke despaire into my soule and will Vnlesse I meete some comfort quickly kill me Being sicke in body as in mind already Enter Hub Cowsell Hub. See where he stalks Doe you but put him out Of his sad humor and thou sha't have Cow O Captaine I am afraid for he looks sowre upon 't Hub. No matter feare you nothing but proceed And care not what you say so you say something It 's your fooles fashion and you now must seeme one Cow But hearke you Captaine How sho'd I begin Hub. Say that you come from the Ladies so I leave you Exit Hub. peeps Rey. Sirra what make you here Cow Come from the Ladies Rey. Well sayd speake that againe Cow Come from the Ladies Rey. Very good and what of them Cow Come from the Ladies Rey.

Some such wise man As thou art Cow He 's a very honest man Rey. And takes his cup soundly I warrant Cowsell So Doe many honest men beside him and Keepe wenches too that 's more Rey. And yet are honest Cow 's honest and faire-condition'd gentlemen As live I know severall of 'em my selfe Rey. The Ladies are well How did they use thee tell Cow They 're all exceeding well and us'd me kindly For your sake gave me a banquet strawberries And creame we drunke helter-skelter too the Ladies Tooke your health themselves and ask'd me how you did Landgartha say'd you were a good man and that She lov'd you with all her heart Rey. Let me imbrace Jmbraces him Thee from my heart for that good newes Hub. Sweet King Have I found your malady Cow O kind Prince Aside Rey. What sayest are they not delicate fine creatures Cow Indifferent handsome passable and so forth Hub. You 'll with a knocke be sent forth I see that Rey. I was not from thy want of wit to expect Any true censure But yet tell me truely Which of 'em all dost thou thinke is the fairest Cow The Lady Elsinora in my opinion Is th' rich Pearle amongst 'em Landgartha to her Is but a meere milkemayde Rey. He makes me sicke A dunce to wrong the worlds chiefe ornament Kicks beats him Cow Oh oh my bum my bum Exit and enter Hubba Hub. I perceive I must Venture a beating too Rey. Thou mett'st a foole Going out that way Hub. And he complaines of something Vnder favour Rey. We gave some cause for 't but Doe now repent it Prethee Hubba call him He sayd some at of the Ladies Hub. I can tell You more of 'em than he for I was lately too Where they like a companie of fine ducklings Wag together Rey. Thy words are base Hub. What wo'd You have me say they are all very valiant And made King Frollo pay for seeking and But in 's good will to domineere a little Over 'em he lost his life and kingdomes by 't Rey.

I doe admire sir you sho'd talke So much of vertue a thing th' arrantest Asse Will scorne if Money be not joyn'd to it And then although he hate it and the possessor Of it he will prayse 't Rey. Thou' rt now in thy old humors Hub. Besides you thinke Landgartha faire but I say Th' Emperors daughter's worth a thousand of her Rey. I de loathly beat thee Hubba yet I tell thee Were Charlemaine the Emperors father now Alive and in his Pryme of youth and glory Landgartha being his Paralell in vallor By vertue much more were a wise enough good For him were she not neere so faire as she is But all all being joyn'd Hubba I suppose He wo'd esteeme her his chiefe eat thy blessing I I and more a Paradise on earth Hub.
