Bes.
Alas good ignorant old man, let him
go, let him go, these courses
will undo him.
[Exeunt clear.
Enter Lygones And Bacurius.
Bac.
My Lord, your authority is good, and I am glad it is so, for my consent would never hinder you from seeing your own King, I am a Minister, but not a governor of this State, yonder is your King, I’le leave you.
[Exit.
Enter Tigranes And Spaconia.
Lyg.
There he is indeed, and with him my disloyal child.
Tigr.
I do perceive my fault so much, that
yet me thinks thou shouldst
not have forgiven me.
Lyg.
Health to your Majesty.
Tigr.
What? good Lygones welcome, what business brought thee hither?
Lyg.
Several businesses. My publick businesses will appear by this, I have a message to deliver, which if it please you so to authorize, is an embassage from the Armenian State, unto Arbaces for your liberty: the offer’s there set down, please you to read it.
Tigr.
There is no alteration happened since I came thence?
Lyg.
None Sir, all is as it was.
Tigr.
And all our friends are well?
Lyg.
All very well.
Spa.
Though I have done nothing but what was
good, I dare not see my
Father, it was fault enough not to acquaint
him with that good.
Lyg.
Madam I should have seen you.
Spa.
O good Sir forgive me.
Lyg.
Forgive you, why? I am no kin to you, am I?
Spa.
Should it be measur’d by my mean deserts, indeed you are not.
Lyg.
Thou couldest prate unhappily ere thou
couldst go, would thou
couldst do as well, and how does your
custome hold out here?
Spa.
Sir?
Lyg.
Are you in private still, or how?
Spa.
What do you mean?
Lyg.
Do you take mony? are you come to sell sin yet? perhaps I can help you to liberal Clients: or has not the King cast you off yet? O thou vile creature, whose best commendation is, that thou art a young whore, I would thy Mother had liv’d to see this, or rather that I had died ere I had seen it; why didst not make me acquainted when thou wert first resolv’d to be a whore, I would have seen thy hot lust satisfied more privately: I would have kept a dancer and a whole consort of musicians in my own house only to fiddle thee.
Spa.
Sir, I was never whore.
Lyg.
