Mar.
O this is fine.
Bes.
No marry, she is not, an’t please
your Majesty,
I never thought she was, she’s nothing
like you.
Arb.
No ’tis true, she is not.
Mar.
Thou shou’dst be hang’d.
Pan.
Sir, I will speak but once; by the same
power
You make my blood a stranger unto yours,
You may command me dead, and so much love
A stranger may importune, pray you do;
If this request appear too much to grant,
Adopt me of some other Family,
By your unquestion’d word; else
I shall live
Like sinfull issues that are left in streets
By their regardless Mothers, and no name
Will be found for me.
Arb.
I will hear no more,
Why should there be such musick in a voyce,
And sin for me to hear it? All the
world
May take delight in this, and ’tis
damnation
For me to do so: You are fair and
wise
And vertuous I think, and he is blest
That is so near you as my brother is;
But you are nought to me but a disease;
Continual torment without hope of ease;
Such an ungodly sickness I have got,
That he that undertakes my cure, must
first
O’rethrow Divinity, all moral Laws,
And leave mankind as unconfin’d
as beasts,
Allowing ’em to do all actions
As freely as they drink when they desire.
Let me not hear you speak again; yet see
I shall but lang[u]ish for the want of
that,
The having which, would kill me:
No man here
Offer to speak for her; for I consider
As much as you can say; I will not toil
My body and my mind too, rest thou there,
Here’s one within will labour for
you both.
Pan.
I would I were past speaking.
Gob.
Fear not Madam,
The King will alter, ’tis some sudden
rage,
And you shall see it end some other way.
Pan.
Pray heaven it do.
Tig.
Though she to whom I swore, be here, I
cannot
Stifle my passion longer; if my father
Should rise again disquieted with this,
And charge me to forbear, yet it would
out.
Madam, a stranger, and a pris’ner
begs
To be bid welcome.
Pan.
You are welcome, Sir,
I think, but if you be not, ’tis
past me
To make you so: for I am here a stranger,
Greater than you; we know from whence
you come,
But I appear a lost thing, and by whom
Is yet uncertain, found here i’th’
Court,
And onely suffer’d to walk up and
down,
As one not worth the owning.
Spa.
O, I fear Tigranes will be caught, he looks, me-thinks, As he would change his eyes with her; some help There is above for me, I hope.
Tigr.
