I am a Stranger, but so much I tender
      Your Sons desertful Vertues, that I vow
      His Sword ne’r conquer’d me so absolutely,
      As shall your courtesie, if you vouchsafe
      At all our instances, to new receive him
      Into your wonted favour.

Gaspero: 

      Sir, you cannot
      Require more low submission.

Annophel: 

      Am I not
      Grown vile yet in your eyes? then by the name
      Of Father, let me once more sue for him,
      Who is the only now remaining Branch
      With me, of that most ancient root, whose Body
      You are, dear Sir.

Cassilanes: 

’Tis well, an host of furies Could not have baited me more torturingly, More rudely, or more most unnaturally. Decius, I say, let me no more hear from him; For this time go thou hence, and know from me Thou art beholding to me that I have not Kill’d thee already, look to’t next, look to’t. Arcanes fie, fie Annophel.

[Exit.

Arcanes: 

      He’s gone;
      Chaf’d beyond sufferance; we must follow him.

Decius: 

      Lady, this Letter is to you.

Annophel: 

      Come with me,
      For we must speak in private; ’please you, Sir,
      To see what entertainment our sad house
      Can yield?

[Exit.

Fernando: 

      I shall attend you, Lady.

Gaspero: 

      How do you like
      To sojourn here, my Lord?

Fernando: 

      More than to feast
      With all the Princes of the Earth besides: 
      Gonzalo told me that thou wert honest.

Gaspero: 

      Yes Sir,
      And you shall find it.

Fernando: 

      Shall I?

Gaspero: 

      All my follies
      Be else recorded to my shame.

Fernando: 

      Enough,
      My heart is here for ever lodg’d.

Gaspero: 

      The Lady.

Fernando: 

      The place admits no time to utter all,
      But Gaspero if thou wilt prove my friend,
      I’ll say thou art—­

Gaspero: 

      Your Servant; I conceive ye,
      We’ll chuse some fitter leisure.

Fernando: 

      Never man
      Was (in a moment) or more bless’d or wretched.

[Exeunt.

      [Enter Hyparcha (placing two Chairs) Antinous, and Erota.]

Erota: 

      Leave us.

Hyparcha: 

      I shall.

[Exit.

Erota: 

      Antinous, sit down.

Antinous: 

      Madam.

Erota:
