With the defier。
PALAMON。
Lets to the king; who; were he
A quarter carrier of that honour which
His Enemy come in; the blood we venture
Should be as for our health; which were not spent;
Rather laide out for purchase: but; alas;
Our hands advanc'd before our hearts; what will
The fall o'th stroke doe damage?
ARCITE。
Let th'event;
That never erring Arbitratour; tell us
When we know all our selves; and let us follow
The becking of our chance。 'Exeunt。'
Scaena 3。 (Before the gates of Athens。)
'Enter Pirithous; Hipolita; Emilia。'
PERITHOUS。
No further。
HIPPOLITA。
Sir; farewell; repeat my wishes
To our great Lord; of whose succes I dare not
Make any timerous question; yet I wish him
Exces and overflow of power; and't might be;
To dure ill…dealing fortune: speede to him;
Store never hurtes good Gouernours。
PERITHOUS。
Though I know
His Ocean needes not my poore drops; yet they
Must yeild their tribute there。 My precious Maide;
Those best affections; that the heavens infuse
In their best temperd peices; keepe enthroand
In your deare heart。
EMILIA。
Thanckes; Sir。 Remember me
To our all royall Brother; for whose speede
The great Bellona ile sollicite; and
Since in our terrene State petitions are not
Without giftes understood; Ile offer to her
What I shall be advised she likes: our hearts
Are in his Army; in his Tent。
HIPPOLITA。
In's bosome:
We have bin Soldiers; and wee cannot weepe
When our Friends don their helmes; or put to sea;
Or tell of Babes broachd on the Launce; or women
That have sod their Infants in (and after eate them)
The brine; they wept at killing 'em; Then if
You stay to see of us such Spincsters; we
Should hold you here for ever。
PERITHOUS。
Peace be to you;
As I pursue this war; which shall be then
Beyond further requiring。 'Exit Pir。'
EMILIA。
How his longing
Followes his Friend! since his depart; his sportes
Though craving seriousnes; and skill; past slightly
His careles execution; where nor gaine
Made him regard; or losse consider; but
Playing one busines in his hand; another
Directing in his head; his minde; nurse equall
To these so diffring Twynshave you observ'd him;
Since our great Lord departed?
HIPPOLITA。
With much labour;
And I did love him fort: they two have Cabind
In many as dangerous; as poore a Corner;
Perill and want contending; they have skift
Torrents whose roring tyranny and power
I'th least of these was dreadfull; and they have
Fought out together; where Deaths…selfe was lodgd;
Yet fate hath brought them off: Their knot of love;
Tide; weau'd; intangled; with so true; so long;
And with a finger of so deepe a cunning;
May be outworne; never undone。 I thinke
Theseus cannot be umpire to himselfe;
Cleaving his conscience into twaine and doing
Each side like Iustice; which he loves best。
EMILIA。
Doubtlesse
There is a best; and reason has no manners
To say it is not you: I was acquainted
Once with a time; when I enjoyd a Play…fellow;
You were at wars; when she the grave enrichd;
Who made too proud the Bed; tooke leave o th Moone
(Which then lookt pale at parting) when our count
Was each eleven。
HIPPOLITA。
Twas Flaui(n)a。
EMILIA。
Yes。
You talke of Pirithous and Theseus love;
Theirs has more ground; is more maturely seasond;
More buckled with strong Iudgement and their needes
The one of th'other may be said to water '2。 Hearses ready
with Palamon: and Arcite: the 3。 Queenes。 Theseus: and his
Lordes ready。'
Their intertangled rootes of love; but I
And shee I sigh and spoke of were things innocent;
Lou'd for we did; and like the Elements
That know not what; nor why; yet doe effect
Rare issues by their operance; our soules
Did so to one another; what she lik'd;
Was then of me approov'd; what not; condemd;
No more arraignment; the flowre that I would plucke
And put betweene my breasts (then but beginning
To swell about the blossome) oh; she would long
Till shee had such another; and commit it
To the like innocent Cradle; where Phenix like
They dide in perfume: on my head no toy
But was her patterne; her affections (pretty;
Though; happely; her careles were) I followed
For my most serious decking; had mine eare
Stolne some new aire; or at adventure humd on
From musicall Coynadge; why it was a note
Whereon her spirits would sojourne (rather dwell on)
And sing it in her slumbers。 This rehearsall
(Which ev'ry innocent wots well comes in
Like old importments bastard) has this end;
That the true love tweene Mayde; and mayde; may be
More then in sex idividuall。
HIPPOLITA。
Y'are out of breath
And this high speeded pace; is but to say
That you shall never like the Maide Flavina
Love any that's calld Man。
EMILIA。
I am sure I shall not。
HIPPOLITA。
Now; alacke; weake Sister;
I must no more beleeve thee in this point
(Though in't I know thou dost beleeve thy selfe;)
Then I will trust a sickely appetite;
That loathes even as it longs; but; sure; my Sister;
If I were ripe for your perswasion; you
Have saide enough to shake me from the Arme
Of the all noble Theseus; for whose fortunes
I will now in; and kneele with great assurance;
That we; more then his Pirothous; possesse
The high throne in his heart。
EMILIA。
I am not
Against your faith; yet I continew mine。 'Exeunt。 Cornets。'
Scaena 4。 (A field before Thebes。 Dead bodies lying on the
ground。)
'A Battaile strooke within: Then a Retrait: Florish。 Then
Enter Theseus (victor); (Herald and Attendants:) the three
Queenes meete him; and fall on their faces before him。'
1。 QUEEN。
To thee no starre be darke。
2。 QUEEN。
Both heaven and earth
Friend thee for ever。
3。 QUEEN。
All the good that may
Be wishd upon thy head; I cry Amen too't。
THESEUS。
Th'imparciall Gods; who from the mounted heavens
View us their mortall Heard; behold who erre;
And in their time chastice: goe and finde out
The bones of your dead Lords; and honour them
With treble Ceremonie; rather then a gap
Should be in their deere rights; we would supply't。
But those we will depute; which shall invest
You in your dignities; and even each thing
Our hast does leave imperfect: So; adiew;
And heavens good eyes looke on you。 What are those? 'Exeunt
Queenes。'
HERALD。
Men of great quality; as may be judgd
By their appointment; Sone of Thebs have told's
They are Sisters children; Nephewes to the King。
THESEUS。
By'th Helme of Mars; I saw them in the war;
Like to a paire of Lions; smeard with prey;
Make lanes in troopes agast。 I fixt my note
Constantly on them; for they were a marke
Worth a god's view: what prisoner was't that told me
When I enquired their names?
HERALD。
Wi'leave; they'r called Arcite and Palamon。
THESEUS。
Tis right: those; those。 They are not dead?
HERALD。
Nor in a state of life: had they bin taken;
When their last hurts were given; twas possible '3。 Hearses
ready。'
They might have bin recovered; Yet they breathe
And haue the name of men。
THESEUS。
Then like men use 'em。
The very lees of such (millions of rates)
Exceede the wine of others: all our Surgions
Convent in their behoofe; our richest balmes
Rather then niggard; waft: their lives concerne us
Much more then Thebs is worth: rather then have 'em
Freed of this plight; and in their morning state
(Sound and at liberty) I would 'em dead;
But forty thousand fold we had rather have 'em
Prisoners to us then death。 Beare 'em speedily
From our kinde aire; to them unkinde; and minister
What man to man may doefor our sake more;
Since I have knowne frights; fury; friends beheastes;
Loves provocations; zeale; a mistris Taske;
Desire of liberty; a feavour; madnes;
Hath set a marke which nature could not reach too
Without some imposition: sicknes in will
Or wrastling strength in reason。 For our Love
And great Appollos mercy; all our best
Their best skill tender。 Leade into the Citty;
Where having bound things scatterd; we will post 'Florish。'
To Athens for(e) our Army 'Exeunt。 Musicke。'
Scaena 5。 (Another part of the same。)
'Enter the Queenes with the Hearses of their Knightes; in a
Funerall Solempnity; &c。'
Vrnes and odours bring away;
Vapours; sighes; darken the day;
Our dole more deadly lookes than dying;
Balmes; and Gummes; and heavy cheeres;
Sacred vials fill'd with teares;
And clamors through the wild ayre flying。
Come all sad and solempne Showes;
That are quick…eyd pleasures foes;
We convent nought else but woes。
We convent; &c。
3。 QUEEN。
This funeral path brings to your housholds grave:
Ioy ceaze on you againe: peace sleepe with him。
2。 QUEEN。
And this to yours。
1。 QUEEN。
Yours this way: Heavens lend
A thousand differing waies to one sure end。
3。 QUEEN。
This world's a Citty full of straying Streetes;
And Death's the market place; where each one meetes。 'Exeunt
severally。'
Actus Secundus。
Scaena 1。 (Athens。 A garden; with a prison in the background。)
'Enter Iailor; and Wooer。'
IAILOR。
I may depart with little; while I live; some thing I may cast to
you; not much: Alas; the Prison I keepe; though it be for great
ones; yet they seldome come; Before one Salmon; you shall take a
number of Minnowes。 I am given out to be better lyn'd then it
can appeare to me report is a true Speaker: I would I were really
that I am deliverd to be。 Marry; what I have (be it what it
will)
I will assure upon my daughter at the day of my death。
WOOER。
Sir; I demaund no more t
