Could I perswade him to become a Freeman;

He made such scruples of the wrong he did

To me; and to my Father。  Yet I hope;

When he considers more; this love of mine

Will take more root within him: Let him doe

What he will with me; so he use me kindly;

For use me so he shall; or ile proclaime him;

And to his face; no man。  Ile presently

Provide him necessaries; and packe my cloathes up;

And where there is a patch of ground Ile venture;

So hee be with me; By him; like a shadow;

Ile ever dwell; within this houre the whoobub

Will be all ore the prison: I am then

Kissing the man they looke for: farewell; Father;

Get many more such prisoners and such daughters;

And shortly you may keepe your selfe。  Now to him!









Actus Tertius。









Scaena 1。  (A forest near Athens。)



'Cornets in sundry places。  Noise and hallowing as people a

Maying。'



'Enter Arcite alone。'



ARCITE。



The Duke has lost Hypolita; each tooke

A severall land。  This is a solemne Right

They owe bloomd May; and the Athenians pay it

To'th heart of Ceremony。  O Queene Emilia;

Fresher then May; sweeter

Then hir gold Buttons on the bowes; or all

Th'enamelld knackes o'th Meade or garden: yea;

We challenge too the bancke of any Nymph

That makes the streame seeme flowers; thou; o Iewell

O'th wood; o'th world; hast likewise blest a place

With thy sole presence: in thy rumination

That I; poore man; might eftsoones come betweene

And chop on some cold thought! thrice blessed chance;

To drop on such a Mistris; expectation

Most giltlesse on't! tell me; O Lady Fortune;

(Next after Emely my Soveraigne) how far

I may be prowd。  She takes strong note of me;

Hath made me neere her; and this beuteous Morne

(The prim'st of all the yeare) presents me with

A brace of horses: two such Steeds might well

Be by a paire of Kings backt; in a Field

That their crownes titles tride。  Alas; alas;

Poore Cosen Palamon; poore prisoner; thou

So little dream'st upon my fortune; that

Thou thinkst thy selfe the happier thing; to be

So neare Emilia; me thou deem'st at Thebs;

And therein wretched; although free。  But if

Thou knew'st my Mistris breathd on me; and that

I ear'd her language; livde in her eye; O Coz;

What passion would enclose thee!



'Enter Palamon as out of a Bush; with his Shackles: bends his

fist

 at Arcite。'



PALAMON。



Traytor kinesman;

Thou shouldst perceive my passion; if these signes

Of prisonment were off me; and this hand

But owner of a Sword: By all othes in one;

I and the iustice of my love would make thee

A confest Traytor。  O thou most perfidious

That ever gently lookd; the voydest of honour;

That eu'r bore gentle Token; falsest Cosen

That ever blood made kin; call'st thou hir thine?

Ile prove it in my Shackles; with these hands;

Void of appointment; that thou ly'st; and art

A very theefe in love; a Chaffy Lord;

Nor worth the name of villaine: had I a Sword

And these house clogges away



ARCITE。



Deere Cosin Palamon



PALAMON。



Cosoner Arcite; give me language such

As thou hast shewd me feate。



ARCITE。



Not finding in

The circuit of my breast any grosse stuffe

To forme me like your blazon; holds me to

This gentlenesse of answer; tis your passion

That thus mistakes; the which to you being enemy;

Cannot to me be kind: honor; and honestie

I cherish; and depend on; how so ev'r

You skip them in me; and with them; faire Coz;

Ile maintaine my proceedings; pray; be pleas'd

To shew in generous termes your griefes; since that

Your question's with your equall; who professes

To cleare his owne way with the minde and Sword

Of a true Gentleman。



PALAMON。



That thou durst; Arcite!



ARCITE。



My Coz; my Coz; you have beene well advertis'd

How much I dare; y'ave seene me use my Sword

Against th'advice of feare: sure; of another

You would not heare me doubted; but your silence

Should breake out; though i'th Sanctuary。



PALAMON。



Sir;

I have seene you move in such a place; which well

Might justifie your manhood; you were calld

A good knight and a bold; But the whole weeke's not faire;

If any day it rayne: Their valiant temper

Men loose when they encline to trecherie;

And then they fight like coupelld Beares; would fly

Were they not tyde。



ARCITE。



Kinsman; you might as well

Speake this and act it in your Glasse; as to

His eare which now disdaines you。



PALAMON。



Come up to me;

Quit me of these cold Gyves; give me a Sword;

Though it be rustie; and the charity

Of one meale lend me; Come before me then;

A good Sword in thy hand; and doe but say

That Emily is thine: I will forgive

The trespasse thou hast done me; yea; my life;

If then thou carry't; and brave soules in shades

That have dyde manly; which will seeke of me

Some newes from earth; they shall get none but this;

That thou art brave and noble。



ARCITE。



Be content:

Againe betake you to your hawthorne house;

With counsaile of the night; I will be here

With wholesome viands; these impediments

Will I file off; you shall have garments and

Perfumes to kill the smell o'th prison; after;

When you shall stretch your selfe and say but; 'Arcite;

I am in plight;' there shall be at your choyce

Both Sword and Armour。



PALAMON。



Oh you heavens; dares any

So noble beare a guilty busines! none

But onely Arcite; therefore none but Arcite

In this kinde is so bold。



ARCITE。



Sweete Palamon。



PALAMON。



I doe embrace you and your offer;for

Your offer doo't I onely; Sir; your person;

Without hipocrisy I may not wish  'Winde hornes of Cornets。'

More then my Swords edge ont。



ARCITE。



You heare the Hornes;

Enter your Musite least this match between's

Be crost; er met: give me your hand; farewell。

Ile bring you every needfull thing: I pray you;

Take comfort and be strong。



PALAMON。



Pray hold your promise;

And doe the deede with a bent brow: most certaine

You love me not; be rough with me; and powre

This oile out of your language; by this ayre;

I could for each word give a Cuffe; my stomach

Not reconcild by reason。



ARCITE。



Plainely spoken;

Yet pardon me hard language: when I spur  'Winde hornes。'

My horse; I chide him not; content and anger

In me have but one face。  Harke; Sir; they call

The scatterd to the Banket; you must guesse

I have an office there。



PALAMON。



Sir; your attendance

Cannot please heaven; and I know your office

Vnjustly is atcheev'd。



ARCITE。



If a good title;

I am perswaded this question sicke between's

By bleeding must be cur'd。  I am a Suitour;

That to your Sword you will bequeath this plea

And talke of it no more。



PALAMON。



But this one word:

You are going now to gaze upon my Mistris;

For note you; mine she is



ARCITE。



Nay; then。



PALAMON。



Nay; pray you;

You talke of feeding me to breed me strength:

You are going now to looke upon a Sun

That strengthens what it lookes on; there

You have a vantage ore me; but enjoy't till

I may enforce my remedy。  Farewell。  'Exeunt。'









Scaena 2。  (Another Part of the forest。)



'Enter Iaylors daughter alone。'



DAUGHTER。



He has mistooke the Brake I meant; is gone

After his fancy。  Tis now welnigh morning;

No matter; would it were perpetuall night;

And darkenes Lord o'th world。  Harke; tis a woolfe:

In me hath greife slaine feare; and but for one thing

I care for nothing; and that's Palamon。

I wreake not if the wolves would jaw me; so

He had this File: what if I hallowd for him?

I cannot hallow: if I whoop'd; what then?

If he not answeard; I should call a wolfe;

And doe him but that service。  I have heard

Strange howles this live…long night; why may't not be

They have made prey of him? he has no weapons;

He cannot run; the Iengling of his Gives

Might call fell things to listen; who have in them

A sence to know a man unarmd; and can

Smell where resistance is。  Ile set it downe

He's torne to peeces; they howld many together

And then they fed on him: So much for that;

Be bold to ring the Bell; how stand I then?

All's char'd when he is gone。  No; no; I lye;

My Father's to be hang'd for his escape;

My selfe to beg; if I prizd life so much

As to deny my act; but that I would not;

Should I try death by dussons。I am mop't;

Food tooke I none these two daies;

Sipt some water。  I have not closd mine eyes

Save when my lids scowrd off their brine; alas;

Dissolue my life; Let not my sence unsettle;

Least I should drowne; or stab or hang my selfe。

O state of Nature; faile together in me;

Since thy best props are warpt! So; which way now?

The best way is the next way to a grave:

Each errant step beside is torment。  Loe;

The Moone is down; the Cryckets chirpe; the Schreichowle

Calls in the dawne; all offices are done

Save what I faile in: But the point is this;

An end; and that is all。  'Exit。'









Scaena 3。  (Same as Scene I。)



'Enter Arcite; with Meate; Wine; and Files。'



ARCITE。



I should be neere the place: hoa; Cosen Palamon。  'Enter

Palamon。'



PALAMON。



Arcite?



ARCITE。



The same: I have brought you foode and files。

Come forth and feare not; here's no Theseus。



PALAMON。



Nor none so honest; Arcite。



ARCITE。



That's no matter;

Wee'l argue that hereafter: Come; take courage;

You shall not dye thus beastly: here; Sir; drinke;

I know you are faint: then ile talke further with you。



PALAMON。



Arcite; thou mightst now poyson me。



ARCITE。



I might;

But I must feare you first: Sit downe; and; good; now

No more of these vaine parlies; let us not;

Having our ancient reputation with us;

Make talke for Fooles and Cowards。  To your health; &c。



PALAMON。



Doe。
