up to'th hart; and there th'offending part burnes; and the

deceaving part freezes; in troth; a very greevous punishment; as

one would thinke; for such a Trifle; beleve me; one would marry a

leaprous witch; to be rid on't; Ile assure you。



DOCTOR。



How she continues this fancie!  Tis not an engraffed Madnesse;

but a most thicke; and profound mellencholly。



DAUGHTER。



To heare there a proud Lady; and a proud Citty wiffe; howle

together! I were a beast and il'd call it good sport: one cries;

'O this smoake!' another; 'this fire!'  One cries; 'O; that ever

I did it behind the arras!' and then howles; th'other curses a

suing fellow and her garden house。  'Sings'  I will be true; my

stars; my fate; &c。  'Exit Daugh。'



IAILOR。



What thinke you of her; Sir?



DOCTOR。



I thinke she has a perturbed minde; which I cannot minister to。



IAILOR。



Alas; what then?



DOCTOR。



Vnderstand you; she ever affected any man; ere she beheld

Palamon?



IAILOR。



I was once; Sir; in great hope she had fixd her liking on this

gentleman; my friend。



WOOER。



I did thinke so too; and would account I had a great pen…worth

on't; to give halfe my state; that both she and I at this present

stood unfainedly on the same tearmes。



DOCTOR。



That intemprat surfeit of her eye hath distemperd the other sences:

they may returne and settle againe to execute their preordaind

faculties; but they are now in a most extravagant vagary。  This

you must doe: Confine her to a place; where the light may rather

seeme to steale in; then be permitted; take vpon you (yong Sir;

her friend) the name of Palamon; say you come to eate with her;

and to commune of Love; this will catch her attention; for this

her minde beates upon; other objects that are inserted tweene her

minde and eye become the prankes and friskins of her madnes; Sing

to her such greene songs of Love; as she sayes Palamon hath sung

in prison; Come to her; stucke in as sweet flowers as the season

is mistres of; and thereto make an addition of som other compounded

odours; which are grateful to the sence: all this shall become

Palamon; for Palamon can sing; and Palamon is sweet; and ev'ry

good thing: desire to eate with her; carve her; drinke to her;

and still among; intermingle your petition of grace and acceptance

into her favour: Learne what Maides have beene her companions and

play…pheeres; and let them repaire to her with Palamon in their

mouthes; and appeare with tokens; as if they suggested for him。

It is a falsehood she is in; which is with falsehood to be combated。

This may bring her to eate; to sleepe; and reduce what's now out

of square in her; into their former law; and regiment; I have seene

it approved; how many times I know not; but to make the number more;

I have great hope in this。  I will; betweene the passages of this

project; come in with my applyance: Let us put it in execution;

and hasten the successe; which; doubt not; will bring forth

comfort。  'Florish。  Exeunt。'









Actus Quintus









Scaena 1。  (Before the Temples of Mars; Venus; and Diana。)



'Enter Thesius; Perithous; Hipolita; attendants。'



THESEUS。



Now let'em enter; and before the gods

Tender their holy prayers: Let the Temples

Burne bright with sacred fires; and the Altars

In hallowed clouds commend their swelling Incense

To those above us: Let no due be wanting;  'Florish of Cornets。'

They have a noble worke in hand; will honour

The very powers that love 'em。



'Enter Palamon and Arcite; and their Knights。'



PERITHOUS。



Sir; they enter。



THESEUS。



You valiant and strong harted Enemies;

You royall German foes; that this day come

To blow that furnesse out that flames betweene ye:

Lay by your anger for an houre; and dove…like;

Before the holy Altars of your helpers;

(The all feard gods) bow downe your stubborne bodies。

Your ire is more than mortall; So your helpe be;

And as the gods regard ye; fight with Iustice;

Ile leave you to your prayers; and betwixt ye

I part my wishes。



PERITHOUS。



Honour crowne the worthiest。  'Exit Theseus; and his traine。'



PALAMON。



The glasse is running now that cannot finish

Till one of us expire: Thinke you but thus;

That were there ought in me which strove to show

Mine enemy in this businesse; wer't one eye

Against another; Arme opprest by Arme;

I would destroy th'offender; Coz; I would;

Though parcell of my selfe: Then from this gather

How I should tender you。



ARCITE。



I am in labour

To push your name; your auncient love; our kindred

Out of my memory; and i'th selfe same place

To seate something I would confound: So hoyst we

The sayles; that must these vessells port even where

The heavenly Lymiter pleases。



PALAMON。



You speake well;

Before I turne; Let me embrace thee; Cosen:

This I shall never doe agen。



ARCITE。



One farewell。



PALAMON。



Why; let it be so: Farewell; Coz。  'Exeunt Palamon and his

Knights。'



ARCITE。



Farewell; Sir。

Knights; Kinsemen; Lovers; yea; my Sacrifices;

True worshippers of Mars; whose spirit in you

Expells the seedes of feare; and th'apprehension

Which still is farther off it; Goe with me

Before the god of our profession: There

Require of him the hearts of Lyons; and

The breath of Tigers; yea; the fearcenesse too;

Yea; the speed also;to goe on; I meane;

Else wish we to be Snayles: you know my prize

Must be drag'd out of blood; force and great feate

Must put my Garland on; where she stickes

The Queene of Flowers: our intercession then

Must be to him that makes the Campe a Cestron

Brymd with the blood of men: give me your aide

And bend your spirits towards him。  'They kneele。'

Thou mighty one; that with thy power hast turnd

Greene Neptune into purple; (whose Approach)

Comets prewarne; whose havocke in vaste Feild

Vnearthed skulls proclaime; whose breath blowes downe;

The teeming Ceres foyzon; who doth plucke

With hand armypotent from forth blew clowdes

The masond Turrets; that both mak'st and break'st

The stony girthes of Citties: me thy puple;

Yongest follower of thy Drom; instruct this day

With military skill; that to thy lawde

I may advance my Streamer; and by thee;

Be stil'd the Lord o'th day: give me; great Mars;

Some token of thy pleasure。



'Here they fall on their faces as formerly; and there is heard

 clanging of Armor; with a short Thunder as the burst of a

Battaile;

 whereupon they all rise and bow to the Altar。'



O Great Corrector of enormous times;

Shaker of ore…rank States; thou grand decider

Of dustie and old tytles; that healst with blood

The earth when it is sicke; and curst the world

O'th pluresie of people; I doe take

Thy signes auspiciously; and in thy name

To my designe march boldly。  Let us goe。  'Exeunt。'



'Enter Palamon and his Knights; with the former observance。'



PALAMON。



Our stars must glister with new fire; or be

To daie extinct; our argument is love;

Which if the goddesse of it grant; she gives

Victory too: then blend your spirits with mine;

You; whose free noblenesse doe make my cause

Your personall hazard; to the goddesse Venus

Commend we our proceeding; and implore

Her power unto our partie。  'Here they kneele as formerly。'

Haile; Soveraigne Queene of secrets; who hast power

To call the feircest Tyrant from his rage;

And weepe unto a Girle; that ha'st the might;

Even with an ey…glance; to choke Marsis Drom

And turne th'allarme to whispers; that canst make

A Criple florish with his Crutch; and cure him

Before Apollo; that may'st force the King

To be his subjects vassaile; and induce

Stale gravitie to daunce; the pould Bachelour

Whose youth; like wonton Boyes through Bonfyres;

Have skipt thy flameat seaventy thou canst catch

And make him; to the scorne of his hoarse throate;

Abuse yong laies of love: what godlike power

Hast thou not power upon?  To Phoebus thou

Add'st flames hotter then his; the heavenly fyres

Did scortch his mortall Son; thine him; the huntresse

All moyst and cold; some say; began to throw

Her Bow away; and sigh。  Take to thy grace

Me; thy vowd Souldier; who doe beare thy yoke

As t'wer a wreath of Roses; yet is heavier

Then Lead it selfe; stings more than Nettles。

I have never beene foule mouthd against thy law;

Nev'r reveald secret; for I knew nonewould not;

Had I kend all that were; I never practised

Vpon mans wife; nor would the Libells reade

Of liberall wits; I never at great feastes

Sought to betray a Beautie; but have blush'd

At simpring Sirs that did; I have beene harsh

To large Confessors; and have hotly ask'd them

If they had Mothers: I had one; a woman;

And women t'wer they wrong'd。  I knew a man

Of eightie winters; this I told them; who

A Lasse of foureteene brided; twas thy power

To put life into dust; the aged Crampe

Had screw'd his square foote round;

The Gout had knit his fingers into knots;

Torturing Convulsions from his globie eyes;

Had almost drawne their spheeres; that what was life

In him seem'd torture: this Anatomie

Had by his yong faire pheare a Boy; and I

Beleev'd it was him; for she swore it was;

And who would not beleeve her? briefe; I am

To those that prate and have done no Companion;

To those that boast and have not a defyer;

To those that would and cannot a Rejoycer。

Yea; him I doe not love; that tells close offices

The fowlest way; nor names concealements in

The boldest language: such a one I am;

And vow that lover never yet made sigh

Truer then I。  O; then; most soft; sweet goddesse;

Give me the victory of this question; which

Is true loves merit; and blesse me with a signe

Of thy great pleasure。



'Here Musicke is heard; Doves are seene to flutter; they fall

 againe upon their faces; then on their knees。'



PALAMON。



O thou;
