affirme That Lysander is sonne vnto the Count Utrante Lys. It was nature in me that made me so much Loue the Count Utrante you blessing Sir Clarin. It do's not grieue mee that you are My Brother Lys. And for my part I cannot adde To my owne happinesse if I might haue my wishes Now that you are my Sister for I did euer loue you As a Sister rather then as a Mistris Duke Diuine Clarinda I cannot claime your promise till a moneth be past There is some part of it to come but I hope You will not strictly stand vpon the time Clar.

I feare the King will here consent whisper Duke But good Sir What made you desire me to beg your pardon Or what made you conceale your selfe so long Her My Lord I le tell you Your Lordship may remember for it is not Fiue yeares since that this my Friend the Count Utrante and my selfe were both suspected For poysoning of your child because we were His profest Enemies especially my selfe Which made me flye though I were innocent For it was knowne to many that the villaine Kild him for 's owne particular reuenge Yet my wicked Brother there perswaded the fellow At his death to say that we had set him on And got another rascall to witnesse with him That it was true my friend not hauing so great Enemies did stay to iustifie himselfe And for his paines was laid in prison and kept there For his lands till you got him releast And yet he was neuer brought vnto his tryall I ere I left this Country did leaue this Cabinet With my sonne or rather yours and withall The charge of looking in it when he should Be married After many a weary step abroad I came home to my Countrey and in disguise Haue liu'd here in the Forrest and saw my friends Full often although they knew not mee And hauing this occasion of doing your Lordship Seruice I thought it would be a sure meanes To get my pardon especially when things Were growne vnto the extreamest poynt Of danger I knew a timely remedy would be Most welcome then of all and that made me Conceale my selfe so long Lys. Cleo. We are resolu'd King My Lord I freely pardon you for I belieue It was indeed a lye inuented by your wicked Brother whom I doe giue you power to punish As you thinke good Her My Lord I then desire He may be kept a prisoner all his life For should he haue his liberty I know He would doe mischiefe that we should all Repent of Iaco.

Guard with Iacomo King Come let vs set forwards to the Temple And pray the Gods to shower a blessing Upon this Couple What meanes my Sister Lysan and Cleon set swords ta their brests Cleo. Thus Sir Lysander and my selfe haue made a solemne Contract and with our bloods wee 'l seale it Either to goe thus to the Temple to be married Or to the graue King How Sister Cleo. What is it Sir in your opinion makes Lysander vnworthy of me King His blood compard with yours is base Cleo. But Sir his mind 's heroicke And who will compare the seruant with the Master The Body is no more vnto the Minde King What would you marry with a Subiect Cleo. Who would not Marry with a Subiect that is a King of Vertues Rather then with a King that 's gouern'd By his Vices Duke Sir you know the greatnesse of her Spirit If you will haue her to liue you must Consent Cleo. Brother you stand to vs Instead of destinie for you haue in your power Our threed of Life Say will you spin vs out A happy threed that we may liue to serue you Or will you cut it short Duke O be not cruell to your only Sister What 's all the out ward glory if you rob The mind of that which it delights in I know that your intention is to make Her happy doe not mistake the way Her mind is not taken with the glorious title Of a King for if it had shee might haue made Her choyce since all the neigbouring Kings Admire her No Sir shee aymes at that Which made men Kings at first Wisdome And Valour and should she search the world Shee cannot finde a man where they Doe meete so fully as in braue Lysander O Sir then be not cruell thinking to be Carefull of your Sister King Shee 's cruell to her selfe And rather let her perish by her rash hand Then so dishonour mee by marrying with A Subiect Cleo. Farewell then Cruell Brother Lysander let us part To meete agen for euer I le goe first Because my Brother shall not thinke of sauing me When you are dead Lys. No Madame Let me shew you the way and when I feele The paine I le tell you if it be too great For you to suffer King Hold take him Sister And be happy in him I loue thee more Then euer because I see thy minde is onely Fixt on true Worth without additions I learn'd of Count Orsinio to bring things To the extreamest poynt so to encrease The ioy it had beene a sinne to part Those Bodies whose very Soules seeme to bee Ioynd together Cleo. Brother may I perish When I forget this benefit or cease to pay To you my Lord my thankes for pleading so Lysanders Cause and mine Kin. Great Loue this day hath shewne his mighty power Without the helpe of Fortune In an houre He hath relieu'd from death and from despaire Foure of his truest Subiects and made faire This day that was o're-clouded let vs praise His power that in in a minute so can raise From misery to an excesse of Ioy And in an instant that content destroy He hath to vs beene iust this day as well as kinde Rewarding vertuous Loue let none then call him blinde Exeunt omnes THE EPILOGVE OVr Author feares there are some Rebell-hearts Whose dulnesse doth oppose Loues piercing darts These will bee apt to say the Plot was dull The Language rude and that 't was onely full Of grosse Absurdities for such as these Hee cares not now nor ere will strive to please For if your selues as Masters and Loues Friends Be pleasd with this sad Play hee hath his ends FINIS

haue giuen consent It may be I am deceiud in this my apprehension And that it is in loue he sends for me If it be so I shall be glad if not howeuer I will meete him according to his desire But first I le write a Letter to Clarinda It may be I shall neuer see her more If I come not home to night carry a Letter You shall find within vpon the Table to Clarinda Honour thou tiest vs men to strange conditions For rather then wee l lose the smallest part of thee We on an euen lay venture Soules and Bodies For so they doe that enter single Combats Exeunt Enter Cleonarda and Mariana Cleo. It is hot Mariana wee 'l rest our selues a while And when the day growes cooler haue another course Mari. I wonder how the Deere escaped the follow-dog Once pinch'd him Cleo. It was the bushes sau'd him Mari. Why will you course among the bushes Gerard the Keeper would haue brought you To a fairer course but you will neuer let Him goe along Cleo. I hate to haue a tutor in my sport I will finde and kill my Game my selfe What satisfaction is 't to me if by anothers skill I purchase any thing Mari, Yet you must haue Your husband chosen to your hand the King your Brother Will take that paines for you Cleo. He shall haue leaue to name me one But if I doe not thinke him worthy of me I le breake that Kingly custome of marrying For the good of the State since it makes Princes More miserable then Beggers for Beggers marry Only those they loue Mar. Madame it 's true we not alone in Princes See the bitter effects of such forc'd Marriages But euen in priuate Families Murders and Adulteries doe often wait vpon those Couples Whose Bodies are compeld by Parents or Friends To ioyne for worldly respects without the soules consent Cleo. 'T is true Mariana how many carefull Parents That loue their children dearly thinking To make them happy by marrying of them richly Make them miserable both here and in the other world Mari. Madame 't is very hot will you goe bathe your selfe In the Riuer Cleo. With all my heart Mariana It will refresh vs well against the Euening I am resolu'd to kill a Deere to night Without the Keepers helpe Exeunt Enter Duke and Lysander Lys. I hope your Grace hath not long staid for me Duke No Lysander you are come before My expectation though not before my wish You cannot guesse the cause that I sent for you Lys. My Lord I cannot Vnlesse fortune be so fauorable to giue me A faire and iust occasion by being your Second To hazzard that life for you which by your valour Was preserud but why to hope so great a blessing I cannot see since who within this Kingdome Dare injure you yet you commanded That I should come arm'd Du. For being my Second banish that thought And yet I meane to fight to day and for an iniury That is done to me and you Lysander shall fight to Not as a Second but a Principall Lys. With whom Duk. With me Lysander Lys. With you my Lord vpon what quarrell Duk. I will maintaine that I doe loue Clarinda Better then you and better doe deserue To be beloued by her Lys. My Lord I doe confesse it And so this cannot be a cause of quarrell She is your Mistris and deserues to be so There being no other worthy of your Seruice But for my part I haue no interest in her More then a friend Why should your grace thinke I loue her then so well to make my loue To her the quarrell Duke Lysander I did not thinke Th'adst beene so base to haue deny'd thy Mistris But I will further maintaine thou art thy selfe A Villaine a base dissembling lustfull one Lys. Had these words Which wound you deeper farre then they doe me Since they are scandalous come from another My sword should first haue answerd not my tongue But since you are one to whom I owe my life I le keepe another method First I le let you see The wrong you doe me which if you shall not Straight acknowledge our swords shall then decide Whether this title be my due or no And lest you may condemne me for an enemy As thinking me your debtor I le let you see That you my Lord are as much bound to me As I to you though you did saue my life Duk. Lysander doe not thinke You owe me any thing for sauing of your life The thankes if any was due to Fortune Who brought me thither for what I did A peasant might haue done you being your selfe Almost a Conqueror before I came Though sure enough for want of bloud to perish Had I not brought you home which yet indeed Was but my duty to helpe a wounded man But how Lysander I should stand ingag'd to you For greater obligations though this I grant Be small I cannot see Lys. Tho you should amplifie as you diminish What you did forme yet 't would neuer equall The pulling of my heart out of my brest For to giue you content Duke I cannot vnderstand your Riddle Yet feare it tends to base submission Lys. Duke be not deceiu'd for after the discouery Of that secret which I will tell you I le giue you an assurance with my sword I doe not feare Duk. What secret is this Lys. I did but now deny that I did loue Clarinda But now I call the heauens to witnesse Who must assist me in so iust a quarrell That I doe loue her equall with my life And now I will maintaine that I deserue To be better belou'd by her then you Duk. Come then may the truest Louer Proue the Victor Lys. First let me shew you How I acquit the obligation I ought you Clarinda loues me more then I can her yet though She thus loue me I out of my gratefulnesse to you Vsed the best part of my eloquence To perswade her to marry you and is not this A secret and a discharging of the debt I ow'd you Du. These eares indeed can witnes thou didst perswade her To marrie me but it was to satisfie Thy owne base ends thy lust and thy ambition Not out of thy gratitude to me as thou pretendst Lys. My lust the vestall Virgins that keepe in the holy fire Haue not more cold desires then I haue Duke I in her Fathers Garden late last night Overheard thee tempt that bright Angell Which my soule adores to acts of lust And with such mouing reasons that flesh and blood Could neuer haue resisted considering That she lou'd thee but that there was a power That gouernes aboue reason garded her From thy strong temptation Lys. My Lord that curiosity hath vndone you For I doe call the heauens to witnesse That what I then spake when I seemed vicious Was all dissembled intending you the fruit Of that dissimulation for when I once Haue made my selfe a peere vnworthy I thought that she would then

by my Crowne Bring your sufficient proofe you shall haue Iustice But wel I know you hate good Iacomo because he did Discouer where your Lysander was Cla. Would I had bit my tongue out of my head When I gave it power to tell you where Lysander was Iaco. Your maiestie may marke by this how true the rest is that she hath to say Madame then you would seeme as if I had deceiu'd your trust and that you had to mee discouerd where Lysander was make me not so odious I neuer was a traitor had you to me discouer'd it wild horses should haue torne mee in a thousand pieces ere I would haue confest no this same countrey fellow one day being within the Lodge saw him and so discouerd it to me Cla. Though thou deny'st this with a brazen brow Yet thou canst not denie thou wouldst haue rauisht me When I did trust thee to goe along with me I being disguis'd then where I to thee discouer'd When Lysander was and more thou threatendst If I did not giue consent to thy base lust To murder mee when thou hadst done Because I should not tell Iaco. Madame I did not thinke that loue to any man could ere haue turnd that excellent wit of yours so ill away as thus vniustly to accuse a man that is innocent and one that honors you Enter Duke and Hermite Utran. Sir I doe grieue My Daughters loue vnto Lysander should Moue her for to seeke a most vniust reuenge Against good Iacomo whose like for honestie I know not in this Kingdome of his quality Clar. Sir here 's a witnesse that will confirme What I haue said for truth Duke What gentle Lady Cla. Sir 't was I that you rescu'd yesterday From a villaine that would haue rauisht me Duke Why Lady were you in such danger Iac. Marke you Sir she knowes of no such thing Cla. I was the Boy you found in the wood Whom this villaine would then haue rauisht Which then I told you was my master Du. I thought no boy could haue so sweet a face Indeed Sir t is most true I found this Lady bound And that same villaine as I thinke for I had but A glimpse of him in the bushes his feare making Him flie as soone as euer he saw me Clar. I beseech your Maiestie let him be hang'd For on my honor what I doe affirme is truth King Your affirmation is to me a hundred Witnesses yet it were in me iniustice to deny The combat 'gainst this gentleman that doth accuse Him on your behalfe if Iacomo desire it Duke Belieue it Sir he that will do such villanies Will neuer dare to fight Sir send him to the Galleyes If he will nor fight it shewes his guilt Iaco. Hell take you all I dare not fight might I haue all the world giuen I le rather to the Galleys I shall get out there with some tricke or other and then I le poyson twenty of you I le not discouer what I am that will but shew me more King Let him that rescu'd Clarinda haue the land That Iacomo should haue had for discouering where Lysander was call forth the prisoner and proceed to execution Enter Lysander Executioner Guard Lys. Weepe not Clarinda you may liue happily You and the Princesse may together make A kinde of Marriage each one strongly Flattering themselues the other is Lysander For each of you's Lysanders better part Pardon Clarinda that I borrow from That streame of loue a part to pay the Princesse Which euer yet ran constantly to the Ocean Of thy perfection only for now a gratefulnesse To her makes some of it run in another current For which I know thou being wise canst neuer Loue me lesse knowing that I haue loue enough For both since I can marry neither Cla. Lysander doe not thinke I grudge that part of Loue You pay the Princesse her merits faire transcending mine Besides you owe her for preseruing of your life And I haue beene the only cause that you must lose it But I le beare you company and in that pay the debt I owe you King Why stayes the Prisoner Lys. Onely to take A parting kisse then when you please I am prepar'd King What meane you Sister will yon make apparant To the world your folly Cleo. Sir doe not hinder me For if I may not here speake with him We will conuerse in death sooner then you belieue Lysander thou art going to thy lasting home And in thee all vertuous men must suffer They being but branches thou the root of all perfection Who will be Curteous Valiant since these are causes Of thy death for thou vnto the world didst manifest In thy last action with the Duke that thou wert Really possest of these but I in summing vp thy worth Doe but increase my griefe since I must part with thee The rich vnhappy owner for they haue only seru'd To reuiue thee and those that lou'd thee for them Poore Clarinda I from my owne conceptions Could weepe to thinke vpon the torment thou wilt feele When as the Axe shall seuer from thee loues Worthy person thy comely head worthy Most worthy in that it was the Cabinet appointed By the Gods to keepe their richest Iewell in His minde which is indeede an Index In which iudicious men may read as in a Booke The whole contents of all their excellence King Sister for shame doe not thus wrong Your selfe and me by throwing such high praises On a man condemn'd by Law Lysander Prepare thy selfe to die and take no notice of her Idle praises which if they could to any mortall Man be due they were to him for whom Thou now must suffer Lys. Sir I doe confesse it and am ready to receiue Your doome Cleo. I need not to a mind so fortifide as thine is Giue any Antidotes to arme thee against death Lys. All the encouragement that I will desire Shall bee a kisse of your faire hand Cleo Lysander thou knowst my soule embraceth thee These are the first teares that ere fell from mine eyes Although a woman which I am pleasd with Since it well expresses this is the greatest griefe That yet I euer felt Lys. This kisse Clarinda is thy due thou art The neerest to my heart in Iustice Clarin swoones King Looke to Clarinda carry her home Cleo.
