againe upon their faces; then on their knees。'
PALAMON。
O thou; that from eleven to ninetie raign'st
In mortall bosomes; whose chase is this world;
And we in heards thy game: I give thee thankes
For this faire Token; which; being layd unto
Mine innocent true heart; armes in assurance 'They bow。'
My body to this businesse。 Let us rise
And bow before the goddesse: Time comes on。 'Exeunt。'
'Still Musicke of Records。'
'Enter Emilia in white; her haire about her shoulders; (wearing) a
wheaten wreath: One in white holding up her traine; her haire stucke
with flowers: One before her carrying a silver Hynde; in which is
conveyd Incense and sweet odours; which being set upon the Altar
(of Diana) her maides standing a loofe; she sets fire to it; then
they curtsey and kneele。'
EMILIA。
O sacred; shadowie; cold and constant Queene;
Abandoner of Revells; mute; contemplative;
Sweet; solitary; white as chaste; and pure
As windefand Snow; who to thy femall knights
Alow'st no more blood than will make a blush;
Which is their orders robe: I heere; thy Priest;
Am humbled fore thine Altar; O vouchsafe;
With that thy rare greene eye; which never yet
Beheld thing maculate; looke on thy virgin;
And; sacred silver Mistris; lend thine eare
(Which nev'r heard scurrill terme; into whose port
Ne're entred wanton found;) to my petition
Seasond with holy feare: This is my last
Of vestall office; I am bride habited;
But mayden harted; a husband I have pointed;
But doe not know him; out of two I should
Choose one and pray for his successe; but I
Am guiltlesse of election: of mine eyes;
Were I to loose one; they are equall precious;
I could doombe neither; that which perish'd should
Goe too't unsentenc'd: Therefore; most modest Queene;
He of the two Pretenders; that best loves me
And has the truest title in't; Let him
Take off my wheaten Gerland; or else grant
The fyle and qualitie I hold; I may
Continue in thy Band。
'Here the Hynde vanishes under the Altar: and in the place ascends
a Rose Tree; having one Rose upon it。'
See what our Generall of Ebbs and Flowes
Out from the bowells of her holy Altar
With sacred act advances! But one Rose:
If well inspird; this Battaile shal confound
Both these brave Knights; and I; a virgin flowre
Must grow alone unpluck'd。
'Here is heard a sodaine twang of Instruments; and the Rose fals
from the Tree (which vanishes under the altar。)'
The flowre is falne; the Tree descends: O; Mistris;
Thou here dischargest me; I shall be gather'd:
I thinke so; but I know not thine owne will;
Vnclaspe thy Misterie。I hope she's pleas'd;
Her Signes were gratious。 'They curtsey and Exeunt。'
Scaena 2。 (A darkened Room in the Prison。)
'Enter Doctor; Iaylor and Wooer; in habite of Palamon。'
DOCTOR。
Has this advice I told you; done any good upon her?
WOOER。
O very much; The maids that kept her company
Have halfe perswaded her that I am Palamon;
Within this halfe houre she came smiling to me;
And asked me what I would eate; and when I would kisse her:
I told her presently; and kist her twice。
DOCTOR。
Twas well done; twentie times had bin far better;
For there the cure lies mainely。
WOOER。
Then she told me
She would watch with me to night; for well she knew
What houre my fit would take me。
DOCTOR。
Let her doe so;
And when your fit comes; fit her home;
And presently。
WOOER。
She would have me sing。
DOCTOR。
You did so?
WOOER。
No。
DOCTOR。
Twas very ill done; then;
You should observe her ev'ry way。
WOOER。
Alas;
I have no voice; Sir; to confirme her that way。
DOCTOR。
That's all one; if yee make a noyse;
If she intreate againe; doe any thing;
Lye with her; if she aske you。
IAILOR。
Hoa; there; Doctor!
DOCTOR。
Yes; in the waie of cure。
IAILOR。
But first; by your leave;
I'th way of honestie。
DOCTOR。
That's but a nicenesse;
Nev'r cast your child away for honestie;
Cure her first this way; then if shee will be honest;
She has the path before her。
IAILOR。
Thanke yee; Doctor。
DOCTOR。
Pray; bring her in;
And let's see how shee is。
IAILOR。
I will; and tell her
Her Palamon staies for her: But; Doctor;
Me thinkes you are i'th wrong still。 'Exit Iaylor。'
DOCTOR。
Goe; goe:
You Fathers are fine Fooles: her honesty?
And we should give her physicke till we finde that
WOOER。
Why; doe you thinke she is not honest; Sir?
DOCTOR。
How old is she?
WOOER。
She's eighteene。
DOCTOR。
She may be;
But that's all one; tis nothing to our purpose。
What ere her Father saies; if you perceave
Her moode inclining that way that I spoke of;
Videlicet; the way of fleshyou have me?
WOOER。
Yet; very well; Sir。
DOCTOR。
Please her appetite;
And doe it home; it cures her; ipso facto;
The mellencholly humour that infects her。
WOOER。
I am of your minde; Doctor。
'Enter Iaylor; Daughter; Maide。'
DOCTOR。
You'l finde it so; she comes; pray humour her。
IAILOR。
Come; your Love Palamon staies for you; childe;
And has done this long houre; to visite you。
DAUGHTER。
I thanke him for his gentle patience;
He's a kind Gentleman; and I am much bound to him。
Did you nev'r see the horse he gave me?
IAILOR。
Yes。
DAUGHTER。
How doe you like him?
IAILOR。
He's a very faire one。
DAUGHTER。
You never saw him dance?
IAILOR。
No。
DAUGHTER。
I have often。
He daunces very finely; very comely;
And for a Iigge; come cut and long taile to him;
He turnes ye like a Top。
IAILOR。
That's fine; indeede。
DAUGHTER。
Hee'l dance the Morris twenty mile an houre;
And that will founder the best hobby…horse
(If I have any skill) in all the parish;
And gallops to the turne of LIGHT A' LOVE:
What thinke you of this horse?
IAILOR。
Having these vertues;
I thinke he might be broght to play at Tennis。
DAUGHTER。
Alas; that's nothing。
IAILOR。
Can he write and reade too?
DAUGHTER。
A very faire hand; and casts himselfe th'accounts
Of all his hay and provender: That Hostler
Must rise betime that cozens him。 You know
The Chestnut Mare the Duke has?
IAILOR。
Very well。
DAUGHTER。
She is horribly in love with him; poore beast;
But he is like his master; coy and scornefull。
IAILOR。
What dowry has she?
DAUGHTER。
Some two hundred Bottles;
And twenty strike of Oates; but hee'l ne're have her;
He lispes in's neighing; able to entice
A Millars Mare: Hee'l be the death of her。
DOCTOR。
What stuffe she utters!
IAILOR。
Make curtsie; here your love comes。
WOOER。
Pretty soule;
How doe ye? that's a fine maide; ther's a curtsie!
DAUGHTER。
Yours to command ith way of honestie。
How far is't now to'th end o'th world; my Masters?
DOCTOR。
Why; a daies Iorney; wench。
DAUGHTER。
Will you goe with me?
WOOER。
What shall we doe there; wench?
DAUGHTER。
Why; play at stoole ball:
What is there else to doe?
WOOER。
I am content;
If we shall keepe our wedding there。
DAUGHTER。
Tis true:
For there; I will assure you; we shall finde
Some blind Priest for the purpose; that will venture
To marry us; for here they are nice; and foolish;
Besides; my father must be hang'd to morrow
And that would be a blot i'th businesse。
Are not you Palamon?
WOOER。
Doe not you know me?
DAUGHTER。
Yes; but you care not for me; I have nothing
But this pore petticoate; and too corse Smockes。
WOOER。
That's all one; I will have you。
DAUGHTER。
Will you surely?
WOOER。
Yes; by this faire hand; will I。
DAUGHTER。
Wee'l to bed; then。
WOOER。
Ev'n when you will。 'Kisses her。'
DAUGHTER。
O Sir; you would faine be nibling。
WOOER。
Why doe you rub my kisse off?
DAUGHTER。
Tis a sweet one;
And will perfume me finely against the wedding。
Is not this your Cosen Arcite?
DOCTOR。
Yes; sweet heart;
And I am glad my Cosen Palamon
Has made so faire a choice。
DAUGHTER。
Doe you thinke hee'l have me?
DOCTOR。
Yes; without doubt。
DAUGHTER。
Doe you thinke so too?
IAILOR。
Yes。
DAUGHTER。
We shall have many children:Lord; how y'ar growne!
My Palamon; I hope; will grow; too; finely;
Now he's at liberty: Alas; poore Chicken;
He was kept downe with hard meate and ill lodging;
But ile kisse him up againe。
'Emter a Messenger。'
MESSENGER。
What doe you here? you'l loose the noblest sight
That ev'r was seene。
IAILOR。
Are they i'th Field?
MESSENGER。
They are。
You beare a charge there too。
IAILOR。
Ile away straight。
I must ev'n leave you here。
DOCTOR。
Nay; wee'l goe with you;
I will not loose the Fight。
IAILOR。
How did you like her?
DOCTOR。
Ile warrant you; within these 3。 or 4。 daies
Ile make her right againe。 You must not from her;
But still preserve her in this way。
WOOER。
I will。
DOCTOR。
Lets get her in。
WOOER。
Come; sweete; wee'l goe to dinner;
And then weele play at Cardes。
DAUGHTER。
And shall we kisse too?
WOOER。
A hundred times。
DAUGHTER。
And twenty。
WOOER。
I; and twenty。
DAUGHTER。
And then wee'l sleepe together。
DOCTOR。
Take her offer。
WOOER。
Yes; marry; will we。
DAUGHTER。
