[SCENE 2.]

Lea.  I wonder what varietie of sights Retaines your father and the prince so long With signior Flores?

Hya.  O signior Flores is a man so ample
In every complement of entertainement,
That guests with him are, as in Bowers enchanted,
Reft of all power and thoughts of their returne.

    Enter the Duke and Hardenbergh.

Lean.  Be silent, heere’s the Duke.

Alp.  Aye me beholde Your sonne, Lord Hardenbergh, courting Hyanthe.

Har.  If he be courting tis for you, my liege.

Alph.  No, Hardenbergh; he loves my sonne too well
—­My faire Hyanthie, what discourse is it
Wherewith Leander holdes you this [thus?] attentive? 
Would I could thinke upon the like for you.

Hya.  You should but speake and passe the time, my lord.

Alp.  Passe-time that pleaseth you is the use of time: 
Had I the ordering of his winged wheele
It onely should serve your desires and mine. 
What should it do if you did governe it.

Hya.  It should go backe againe and make you yong.
