THESEUS。



Come; Ile give ye

Now usage like to Princes; and to Friends:

When ye returne; who wins; Ile settle heere;

Who looses; yet Ile weepe upon his Beere。  'Exeunt。'









Actus Quartus。









Scaena 1。  (Athens。  A room in the prison。)



'Enter Iailor and his friend。'



IAILOR。



Heare you no more? was nothing saide of me

Concerning the escape of Palamon?

Good Sir; remember。



1。 FRIEND。



Nothing that I heard;

For I came home before the busines

Was fully ended: Yet I might perceive;

Ere I departed; a great likelihood

Of both their pardons: For Hipolita;

And faire…eyd Emilie; upon their knees

Begd with such hansom pitty; that the Duke

Me thought stood staggering; whether he should follow

His rash oth; or the sweet compassion

Of those two Ladies; and to second them;

That truely noble Prince Perithous;

Halfe his owne heart; set in too; that I hope

All shall be well: Neither heard I one question

Of your name or his scape。



'Enter 2。 Friend。'



IAILOR。



Pray heaven it hold so。



2。 FRIEND。



Be of good comfort; man; I bring you newes;

Good newes。



IAILOR。



They are welcome;



2。 FRIEND。



Palamon has cleerd you;

And got your pardon; and discoverd how

And by whose meanes he escapt; which was your Daughters;

Whose pardon is procurd too; and the Prisoner;

Not to be held ungratefull to her goodnes;

Has given a summe of money to her Marriage;

A large one; ile assure you。



IAILOR。



Ye are a good man

And ever bring good newes。



1。 FRIEND。



How was it ended?



2。 FRIEND。



Why; as it should be; they that nev'r begd

But they prevaild; had their suites fairely granted;

The prisoners have their lives。



1。 FRIEND。



I knew t'would be so。



2。 FRIEND。



But there be new conditions; which you'l heare of

At better time。



IAILOR。



I hope they are good。



2。 FRIEND。



They are honourable;

How good they'l prove; I know not。



'Enter Wooer。'



1。 FRIEND。



T'will be knowne。



WOOER。



Alas; Sir; wher's your Daughter?



IAILOR。



Why doe you aske?



WOOER。



O; Sir; when did you see her?



2。 FRIEND。



How he lookes?



IAILOR。



This morning。



WOOER。



Was she well? was she in health; Sir?

When did she sleepe?



1。 FRIEND。



These are strange Questions。



IAILOR。



I doe not thinke she was very well; for now

You make me minde her; but this very day

I ask'd her questions; and she answered me

So farre from what she was; so childishly;

So sillily; as if she were a foole;

An Inocent; and I was very angry。

But what of her; Sir?



WOOER。



Nothing but my pitty;

But you must know it; and as good by me

As by an other that lesse loves her



IAILOR。



Well; Sir。



1。 FRIEND。



Not right?



2。 FRIEND。



Not well?



WOOER。



No; Sir; not well。

Tis too true; she is mad。



1。 FRIEND。



It cannot be。



WOOER。



Beleeve; you'l finde it so。



IAILOR。



I halfe suspected

What you (have) told me: the gods comfort her:

Either this was her love to Palamon;

Or feare of my miscarrying on his scape;

Or both。



WOOER。



Tis likely。



IAILOR。



But why all this haste; Sir?



WOOER。



Ile tell you quickly。  As I late was angling

In the great Lake that lies behind the Pallace;

From the far shore; thicke set with reedes and Sedges;

As patiently I was attending sport;

I heard a voyce; a shrill one; and attentive

I gave my eare; when I might well perceive

T'was one that sung; and by the smallnesse of it

A boy or woman。  I then left my angle

To his owne skill; came neere; but yet perceivd not

Who made the sound; the rushes and the Reeds

Had so encompast it: I laide me downe

And listned to the words she sung; for then;

Through a small glade cut by the Fisher men;

I saw it was your Daughter。



IAILOR。



Pray; goe on; Sir?



WOOER。



She sung much; but no sence; onely I heard her

Repeat this often: 'Palamon is gone;

Is gone to'th wood to gather Mulberies;

Ile finde him out to morrow。'



1。 FRIEND。



Pretty soule。



WOOER。



'His shackles will betray him; hee'l be taken;

And what shall I doe then?  Ile bring a beavy;

A hundred blacke eyd Maides; that love as I doe;

With Chaplets on their heads of Daffadillies;

With cherry…lips; and cheekes of Damaske Roses;

And all wee'l daunce an Antique fore the Duke;

And beg his pardon。'  Then she talk'd of you; Sir;

That you must loose your head to morrow morning;

And she must gather flowers to bury you;

And see the house made handsome: then she sung

Nothing but 'Willow; willow; willow;' and betweene

Ever was; 'Palamon; faire Palamon;'

And 'Palamon was a tall yong man。'  The place

Was knee deepe where she sat; her careles Tresses

A wreathe of bull…rush rounded; about her stucke

Thousand fresh water flowers of severall cullors;

That me thought she appeard like the faire Nimph

That feedes the lake with waters; or as Iris

Newly dropt downe from heaven; Rings she made

Of rushes that grew by; and to 'em spoke

The prettiest posies: 'Thus our true love's tide;'

'This you may loose; not me;' and many a one:

And then she wept; and sung againe; and sigh'd;

And with the same breath smil'd; and kist her hand。



2。 FRIEND。



Alas; what pitty it is!



WOOER。



I made in to her。

She saw me; and straight sought the flood; I sav'd her;

And set her safe to land: when presently

She slipt away; and to the Citty made;

With such a cry and swiftnes; that; beleeve me;

Shee left me farre behinde her; three or foure

I saw from farre off crosse her; one of 'em

I knew to be your brother; where she staid;

And fell; scarce to be got away: I left them with her;  'Enter

 Brother; Daughter; and others。'

And hether came to tell you。  Here they are。



DAUGHTER。  'sings。'



May you never more enjoy the light; &c。



Is not this a fine Song?



BROTHER。



O; a very fine one。



DAUGHTER。



I can sing twenty more。



BROTHER。



I thinke you can。



DAUGHTER。



Yes; truely; can I; I can sing the Broome;

And Bony Robin。  Are not you a tailour?



BROTHER。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



Wher's my wedding Gowne?



BROTHER。



Ile bring it to morrow。



DAUGHTER。



Doe; very rarely; I must be abroad else

To call the Maides; and pay the Minstrels;

For I must loose my Maydenhead by cock…light;

Twill never thrive else。

'Singes。'  O faire; oh sweete; &c。



BROTHER。



You must ev'n take it patiently。



IAILOR。



Tis true。



DAUGHTER。



Good ev'n; good men; pray; did you ever heare

Of one yong Palamon?



IAILOR。



Yes; wench; we know him。



DAUGHTER。



Is't not a fine yong Gentleman?



IAILOR。



Tis Love。



BROTHER。



By no meane crosse her; she is then distemperd

Far worse then now she showes。



1。 FRIEND。



Yes; he's a fine man。



DAUGHTER。



O; is he so? you have a Sister?



1。 FRIEND。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



But she shall never have him; tell her so;

For a tricke that I know; y'had best looke to her;

For if she see him once; she's gone; she's done;

And undon in an howre。  All the young Maydes

Of our Towne are in love with him; but I laugh at 'em

And let 'em all alone; Is't not a wise course?



1。 FRIEND。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



There is at least two hundred now with child by him

There must be fowre; yet I keepe close for all this;

Close as a Cockle; and all these must be Boyes;

He has the tricke on't; and at ten yeares old

They must be all gelt for Musitians;

And sing the wars of Theseus。



2。 FRIEND。



This is strange。



DAUGHTER。



As ever you heard; but say nothing。



1。 FRIEND。



No。



DAUGHTER。



They come from all parts of the Dukedome to him;

Ile warrant ye; he had not so few last night

As twenty to dispatch: hee'l tickl't up

In two howres; if his hand be in。



IAILOR。



She's lost

Past all cure。



BROTHER。



Heaven forbid; man。



DAUGHTER。



Come hither; you are a wise man。



1。 FRIEND。



Do's she know him?



2。 FRIEND。



No; would she did。



DAUGHTER。



You are master of a Ship?



IAILOR。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



Wher's your Compasse?



IAILOR。



Heere。



DAUGHTER。



Set it too'th North。

And now direct your course to'th wood; wher Palamon

Lyes longing for me; For the Tackling

Let me alone; Come; waygh; my hearts; cheerely!



ALL。



Owgh; owgh; owgh; tis up; the wind's faire;

Top the Bowling; out with the maine saile;

Wher's your Whistle; Master?



BROTHER。



Lets get her in。



IAILOR。



Vp to the top; Boy。



BROTHER。



Wher's the Pilot?



1。 FRIEND。



Heere。



DAUGHTER。



What ken'st thou?



2。 FRIEND。



A faire wood。



DAUGHTER。



Beare for it; master: take about!  'Singes。'

When Cinthia with her borrowed light; &c。  'Exeunt。'









Scaena 2。  (A Room in the Palace。)



'Enter Emilia alone; with 2。 Pictures。'



EMILIA。



Yet I may binde those wounds up; that must open

And bleed to death for my sake else; Ile choose;

And end their strife: Two such yong hansom men

Shall never fall for me; their weeping Mothers;

Following the dead cold ashes of their Sonnes;

Shall never curse my cruelty。  Good heaven;

What a sweet face has Arcite! if wise nature;

With all her best endowments; all those beuties

She sowes into the birthes of noble bodies;

Were here a mortall woman; and had in her

The coy denialls of yong Maydes; yet doubtles;

She would run mad for this man: what an eye;

Of what a fyry sparkle; and quick sweetnes;

Has this yong
