Alphonsus can reuenge thy wrong with speed Sound Trumpets and Drummes Now to Albinius which in all my toyles I haue both faithfull yea and friendly found Since that the Gods and friendly Fates assigne This present time to me to recompence The sundry pleasures thou hast done to me Sit downe by them and on thy faithfull head Take the Crowne from thy owne head Receiue the Crowne of peerlesse Aragon Albi. Pardon deare Lord Albinius at this time It ill becomes me for to weare a Crowne When as my Lord is destitute himselfe Why high Alphonsus if I should receiue This Crowne of you the which high Ioue forbid Where would your selfe obtaine a Diadem Naples is gone Millaine possessed is And nought is left for you but Aragon Alphon. And nought is left for me but Aragon Yes surely yes my Fates haue so decreed That Aragon should be too base a thing For to obtaine Alphonsus for her King What heare you not how that our scattered foes Belinus Fabius and the Millaine Duke Are fled for succour to the Turkish Court And thinke you not that Amurack their King Will with the mightiest power of all his land Seeke to reuenge Belinus ouerthrow Then doubt I not but ere these broyles do end Alphonsus shall possesse the Diadem That Amurack now weares vpon his head Sit downe therefore and that receiue of mee The which the Fates appointed vnto thee Albi. Thou king of heauen which by thy power diuine Dost see the secrets of each liuers heart Beare record now with what vnwilling mind I do receiue the Crowne of Aragon Albinius sit downe by Laelius Miles Alphonsus set the Crowne on his head and say Alphon. A rise Albinius King of Aragon Crowned by me who till my gasping ghost Do part asunder from my breathlesse corpes Will be thy shield against all men aliue That for thy kingdome any way do striue Sound Trumpets and Drummes Now since we haue in such an happie houre Confirmd three kings come let vs march with speed Into the Citie for to celebrate With mirth and ioy this blisfull festiuall Exeunt omnes Enter Amurack the great Turke Belinus Fabius Arcastus King of Moores Claramount King of Barbery Baiazet a Lord with their train Amu. Welcome Belinus to thy cosens Court Whose late arriuall in such posting pace Doth bring both ioy and sorrow to vs all Sorrow because the Fates haue bene so false To let Alphonsus driue thee from thy land And ioy since that now mightie Mahomet Hath giuen me cause to recompence at full The sundry pleasures I receiu'd of thee Therefore Belinus do but aske and haue For Amurack doth grant what ere you craue Beli. Thou second sun which with thy glimsing beames Doest clarifie each corner of the earth Belinus comes not as earst Mydas did To mightie Bacchus to desire of him That what so ere at any time he toucht Might turned be to gold incontinent Nor do I come as Iuppiter did erst Vnto the Pallace of Amphitrion For any fond or foule concupiscence Which I do beare to Alcumenaes hew But as poore Saturne forst by mightie Ioue To flie his Countrey banisht and forlorne Did craue the aide of Troos King of Troy So comes Belinus to high Amurack And if he can but once your aide obtaine He turnes with speed to Naples backe againe Amu. My aide Belinus do you doubt of that If all the men at armes of Affrica Of Asia likewise will sufficient be To presse the pompe of that vsurping mate Assure thy selfe thy kingdome shal be thine If Mahomet say I vnto the same For were I sure to vanquish all our foes And find such spoiles in ransacking their Tents As neuer any Keisar did obtaine Yet would I not set foote forth of this land If Mahomet our iourney did withstand Beli. Nor would Belinus for King Craesus trash Wish Amurack to displease the Gods In pleasuring me in such à trifling toy Then mightie Monarch if it be thy will Get their consents and then the act fulfill Amu. You counsel well therefore Belinus haste And Claramount go beare him companie With King Arcastus to the Citie walles Then bend with speed vnto the darksome groue Where Mahomet this many a hundred yeare Hath prophesied vnto our auncesters Tell to his Priests that Amurack your King Is now selecting all his men at armes To set vpon that proud Alphonsus troupe The cause you know and can enforme him well That makes me take these bloudie broyles in hand And say that I desire their sacred God That Mahomet which ruleth all the skies To send me word and that most speedely Which of vs shall obtaine the victory Exeunt omnes preter Baiazet and Amurack You Baiazet go poste away apace To Siria Scythia and Albania To Babylon with Mesopotamia Asia Armenia and all other lands Which owe their homage to high Amurack Charge all their Kings with expedition To gather vp the choesest men at armes Which now remaine in their dominions And on the twentie day of the same month To come and wait on Amurack their King At his chiefe Citie Constantinople Tell them moreouer that who so doth faile Nought else but death from prison shall him baile Exit Baiazet Assoone as he is gone sound musicke within What heauenly Musicke soundeth in my eare Peace Amurack and hearken to the same Sound musicke hearken Amurack and fall a sleepe Enter Medea Fausta the Empresse Iphigina her daughter Medea Now haue our charmes fulfild our minds full well High Amurack is lulled fast a sleepe And doubt I not but ere he wakes againe You shall perceiue Medea did not gibe When as she put this practise in your mind Sit worthie Fausta at thy spowse his feete Fausta and Iphigina sit downe at Amuracks feete Iphigina sit thou on the other side What ere you see be not agast thereat But beare in mind what Amurack doth chat Medea do ceremonies belonging to coniuring and say Thou which wert wont in Agamemnons dayes To vtter forth Apolloes Oracles At sacred Delphos Calchas I do meane I charge thee come all lingring set aside Vnles the pennance you thereof abide I coniure thee by Plutoes loathsome lake By all the hags which harbour in the same By stinking Stix and filthie Flegeton To come with speed and truly to fulfill That which Medea to thee streight shall will Rise Calehas vp in a white Cirples and a Cardinals Myter and say Cal. Thou wretched witch when wilt thou make an end Of troubling vs with these thy cursed Charmes What meanst thou thus to call me from my graue Shall nere my ghost obtaine his quiet rest Me. Yes Calchas yes your rest doth now approch Medea meanes to trouble thee no more When as thou hast fulfild her mind this once Go get thee hence to Pluto backe againe And there enquire of the Destinies How Amurack shall speed in these his warres Peruse their bookes and marke what is decreed By Ioue himselfe and all his fellow Gods And when thou knowst the certaintie thereof By fleshlesse visions
