WOMAN。
Why; gentle Madam?
EMILIA。
It is the very Embleme of a Maide。
For when the west wind courts her gently;
How modestly she blowes; and paints the Sun;
With her chaste blushes! When the North comes neere her;
Rude and impatient; then; like Chastity;
Shee lockes her beauties in her bud againe;
And leaves him to base briers。
WOMAN。
Yet; good Madam;
Sometimes her modesty will blow so far
She fals for't: a Mayde;
If shee have any honour; would be loth
To take example by her。
EMILIA。
Thou art wanton。
ARCITE。
She is wondrous faire。
PALAMON。
She is beauty extant。
EMILIA。
The Sun grows high; lets walk in: keep these flowers;
Weele see how neere Art can come neere their colours。
I am wondrous merry hearted; I could laugh now。
WOMAN。
I could lie downe; I am sure。
EMILIA。
And take one with you?
WOMAN。
That's as we bargaine; Madam。
EMILIA。
Well; agree then。 'Exeunt Emilia and woman。'
PALAMON。
What thinke you of this beauty?
ARCITE。
Tis a rare one。
PALAMON。
Is't but a rare one?
ARCITE。
Yes; a matchles beauty。
PALAMON。
Might not a man well lose himselfe and love her?
ARCITE。
I cannot tell what you have done; I have;
Beshrew mine eyes for't: now I feele my Shackles。
PALAMON。
You love her; then?
ARCITE。
Who would not?
PALAMON。
And desire her?
ARCITE。
Before my liberty。
PALAMON。
I saw her first。
ARCITE。
That's nothing。
PALAMON。
But it shall be。
ARCITE。
I saw her too。
PALAMON。
Yes; but you must not love her。
ARCITE。
I will not as you doe; to worship her;
As she is heavenly; and a blessed Goddes;
I love her as a woman; to enjoy her:
So both may love。
PALAMON。
You shall not love at all。
ARCITE。
Not love at all!
Who shall deny me?
PALAMON。
I; that first saw her; I; that tooke possession
First with mine eyes of all those beauties
In her reveald to mankinde: if thou lou'st her;
Or entertain'st a hope to blast my wishes;
Thou art a Traytour; Arcite; and a fellow
False as thy Title to her: friendship; blood;
And all the tyes betweene us I disclaime;
If thou once thinke upon her。
ARCITE。
Yes; I love her;
And if the lives of all my name lay on it;
I must doe so; I love her with my soule:
If that will lose ye; farewell; Palamon;
I say againe; I love; and in loving her maintaine
I am as worthy and as free a lover;
And have as just a title to her beauty
As any Palamon or any living
That is a mans Sonne。
PALAMON。
Have I cald thee friend?
ARCITE。
Yes; and have found me so; why are you mov'd thus?
Let me deale coldly with you: am not I
Part of your blood; part of your soule? you have told me
That I was Palamon; and you were Arcite。
PALAMON。
Yes。
ARCITE。
Am not I liable to those affections;
Those joyes; greifes; angers; feares; my friend shall suffer?
PALAMON。
Ye may be。
ARCITE。
Why; then; would you deale so cunningly;
So strangely; so vnlike a noble kinesman;
To love alone? speake truely: doe you thinke me
Vnworthy of her sight?
PALAMON。
No; but unjust;
If thou pursue that sight。
ARCITE。
Because an other
First sees the Enemy; shall I stand still
And let mine honour downe; and never charge?
PALAMON。
Yes; if he be but one。
ARCITE。
But say that one
Had rather combat me?
PALAMON。
Let that one say so;
And use thy freedome; els if thou pursuest her;
Be as that cursed man that hates his Country;
A branded villaine。
ARCITE。
You are mad。
PALAMON。
I must be;
Till thou art worthy; Arcite; it concernes me;
And in this madnes; if I hazard thee
And take thy life; I deale but truely。
ARCITE。
Fie; Sir;
You play the Childe extreamely: I will love her;
I must; I ought to doe so; and I dare;
And all this justly。
PALAMON。
O that now; that now
Thy false…selfe and thy friend had but this fortune;
To be one howre at liberty; and graspe
Our good Swords in our hands! I would quickly teach thee
What 'twer to filch affection from another:
Thou art baser in it then a Cutpurse;
Put but thy head out of this window more;
And as I have a soule; Ile naile thy life too't。
ARCITE。
Thou dar'st not; foole; thou canst not; thou art feeble。
Put my head out? Ile throw my Body out;
And leape the garden; when I see her next
'Enter Keeper。'
And pitch between her armes to anger thee。
PALAMON。
No more; the keeper's comming; I shall live
To knocke thy braines out with my Shackles。
ARCITE。
Doe。
KEEPER。
By your leave; Gentlemen
PALAMON。
Now; honest keeper?
KEEPER。
Lord Arcite; you must presently to'th Duke;
The cause I know not yet。
ARCITE。
I am ready; keeper。
KEEPER。
Prince Palamon; I must awhile bereave you
Of your faire Cosens Company。 'Exeunt Arcite; and Keeper。'
PALAMON。
And me too;
Even when you please; of life。 Why is he sent for?
It may be he shall marry her; he's goodly;
And like enough the Duke hath taken notice
Both of his blood and body: But his falsehood!
Why should a friend be treacherous? If that
Get him a wife so noble; and so faire;
Let honest men ne're love againe。 Once more
I would but see this faire One。 Blessed Garden;
And fruite; and flowers more blessed; that still blossom
As her bright eies shine on ye! would I were;
For all the fortune of my life hereafter;
Yon little Tree; yon blooming Apricocke;
How I would spread; and fling my wanton armes
In at her window; I would bring her fruite
Fit for the Gods to feed on: youth and pleasure
Still as she tasted should be doubled on her;
And if she be not heavenly; I would make her
So neere the Gods in nature; they should feare her;
'Enter Keeper。'
And then I am sure she would love me。 How now; keeper。
Wher's Arcite?
KEEPER。
Banishd: Prince Pirithous
Obtained his liberty; but never more
Vpon his oth and life must he set foote
Vpon this Kingdome。
PALAMON。
Hees a blessed man!
He shall see Thebs againe; and call to Armes
The bold yong men; that; when he bids 'em charge;
Fall on like fire: Arcite shall have a Fortune;
If he dare make himselfe a worthy Lover;
Yet in the Feild to strike a battle for her;
And if he lose her then; he's a cold Coward;
How bravely may he beare himselfe to win her
If he be noble Arcitethousand waies。
Were I at liberty; I would doe things
Of such a vertuous greatnes; that this Lady;
This blushing virgine; should take manhood to her
And seeke to ravish me。
KEEPER。
My Lord for you
I have this charge too
PALAMON。
To discharge my life?
KEEPER。
No; but from this place to remoove your Lordship:
The windowes are too open。
PALAMON。
Devils take 'em;
That are so envious to me! pre'thee kill me。
KEEPER。
And hang for't afterward。
PALAMON。
By this good light;
Had I a sword I would kill thee。
KEEPER。
Why; my Lord?
PALAMON。
Thou bringst such pelting scuruy news continually
Thou art not worthy life。 I will not goe。
KEEPER。
Indeede; you must; my Lord。
PALAMON。
May I see the garden?
KEEPER。
Noe。
PALAMON。
Then I am resolud; I will not goe。
KEEPER。
I must constraine you then: and for you are dangerous;
Ile clap more yrons on you。
PALAMON。
Doe; good keeper。
Ile shake 'em so; ye shall not sleepe;
Ile make ye a new Morrisse: must I goe?
KEEPER。
There is no remedy。
PALAMON。
Farewell; kinde window。
May rude winde never hurt thee。 O; my Lady;
If ever thou hast felt what sorrow was;
Dreame how I suffer。 Come; now bury me。 'Exeunt Palamon; and
Keeper。'
Scaena 3。 (The country near Athens。)
'Enter Arcite。'
ARCITE。
Banishd the kingdome? tis a benefit;
A mercy I must thanke 'em for; but banishd
The free enjoying of that face I die for;
Oh twas a studdied punishment; a death
Beyond Imagination: Such a vengeance
That; were I old and wicked; all my sins
Could never plucke upon me。 Palamon;
Thou ha'st the Start now; thou shalt stay and see
Her bright eyes breake each morning gainst thy window;
And let in life into thee; thou shalt feede
Vpon the sweetenes of a noble beauty;
That nature nev'r exceeded; nor nev'r shall:
Good gods! what happines has Palamon!
Twenty to one; hee'le come to speake to her;
And if she be as gentle as she's faire;
I know she's his; he has a Tongue will tame
Tempests; and make the wild Rockes wanton。
Come what can come;
The worst is death; I will not leave the Kingdome。
I know mine owne is but a heape of ruins;
And no redresse there; if I goe; he has her。
I am resolu'd an other shape shall make me;
Or end my fortunes。 Either way; I am happy:
Ile see her; and be neere her; or no more。
'Enter 4。 Country people; & one with a garlond before them。'
1。 COUNTREYMAN
My Masters; ile be there; that's certaine
2。 COUNTREYMAN
And Ile be there。
3。 COUNTREYMAN
And I。
4。 COUNTREYMAN
Why; then; have with ye; Boyes; Tis but a chiding。
Let the plough play to day; ile tick'lt out
Of the Iades tailes to morrow。
1。 COUNTREYMAN
I am sure
To have my wife as jealous as a Turkey:
But that's all one; ile goe through; let her mumble。
2。 COUNTREYMAN
Clap her aboard to morrow night; and stoa her;
And all's made up againe。
3。 COUNTREYMAN
I; doe but put a feskue in her fist; and you
