 againe upon their faces; then on their knees。'



PALAMON。



O thou; that from eleven to ninetie raign'st

In mortall bosomes; whose chase is this world;

And we in heards thy game: I give thee thankes

For this faire Token; which; being layd unto

Mine innocent true heart; armes in assurance  'They bow。'

My body to this businesse。  Let us rise

And bow before the goddesse: Time comes on。  'Exeunt。'



'Still Musicke of Records。'



'Enter Emilia in white; her haire about her shoulders; (wearing) a

 wheaten wreath: One in white holding up her traine; her haire stucke

 with flowers: One before her carrying a silver Hynde; in which is

 conveyd Incense and sweet odours; which being set upon the Altar

 (of Diana) her maides standing a loofe; she sets fire to it; then

 they curtsey and kneele。'



EMILIA。



O sacred; shadowie; cold and constant Queene;

Abandoner of Revells; mute; contemplative;

Sweet; solitary; white as chaste; and pure

As windefand Snow; who to thy femall knights

Alow'st no more blood than will make a blush;

Which is their orders robe: I heere; thy Priest;

Am humbled fore thine Altar; O vouchsafe;

With that thy rare greene eye; which never yet

Beheld thing maculate; looke on thy virgin;

And; sacred silver Mistris; lend thine eare

(Which nev'r heard scurrill terme; into whose port

Ne're entred wanton found;) to my petition

Seasond with holy feare: This is my last

Of vestall office; I am bride habited;

But mayden harted; a husband I have pointed;

But doe not know him; out of two I should

Choose one and pray for his successe; but I

Am guiltlesse of election: of mine eyes;

Were I to loose one; they are equall precious;

I could doombe neither; that which perish'd should

Goe too't unsentenc'd: Therefore; most modest Queene;

He of the two Pretenders; that best loves me

And has the truest title in't; Let him

Take off my wheaten Gerland; or else grant

The fyle and qualitie I hold; I may

Continue in thy Band。



'Here the Hynde vanishes under the Altar: and in the place ascends

 a Rose Tree; having one Rose upon it。'



See what our Generall of Ebbs and Flowes

Out from the bowells of her holy Altar

With sacred act advances!  But one Rose:

If well inspird; this Battaile shal confound

Both these brave Knights; and I; a virgin flowre

Must grow alone unpluck'd。



'Here is heard a sodaine twang of Instruments; and the Rose fals

 from the Tree (which vanishes under the altar。)'



The flowre is falne; the Tree descends: O; Mistris;

Thou here dischargest me; I shall be gather'd:

I thinke so; but I know not thine owne will;

Vnclaspe thy Misterie。I hope she's pleas'd;

Her Signes were gratious。  'They curtsey and Exeunt。'









Scaena 2。  (A darkened Room in the Prison。)



'Enter Doctor; Iaylor and Wooer; in habite of Palamon。'



DOCTOR。



Has this advice I told you; done any good upon her?



WOOER。



O very much; The maids that kept her company

Have halfe perswaded her that I am Palamon;

Within this halfe houre she came smiling to me;

And asked me what I would eate; and when I would kisse her:

I told her presently; and kist her twice。



DOCTOR。



Twas well done; twentie times had bin far better;

For there the cure lies mainely。



WOOER。



Then she told me

She would watch with me to night; for well she knew

What houre my fit would take me。



DOCTOR。



Let her doe so;

And when your fit comes; fit her home;

And presently。



WOOER。



She would have me sing。



DOCTOR。



You did so?



WOOER。



No。



DOCTOR。



Twas very ill done; then;

You should observe her ev'ry way。



WOOER。



Alas;

I have no voice; Sir; to confirme her that way。



DOCTOR。



That's all one; if yee make a noyse;

If she intreate againe; doe any thing;

Lye with her; if she aske you。



IAILOR。



Hoa; there; Doctor!



DOCTOR。



Yes; in the waie of cure。



IAILOR。



But first; by your leave;

I'th way of honestie。



DOCTOR。



That's but a nicenesse;

Nev'r cast your child away for honestie;

Cure her first this way; then if shee will be honest;

She has the path before her。



IAILOR。



Thanke yee; Doctor。



DOCTOR。



Pray; bring her in;

And let's see how shee is。



IAILOR。



I will; and tell her

Her Palamon staies for her: But; Doctor;

Me thinkes you are i'th wrong still。  'Exit Iaylor。'



DOCTOR。



Goe; goe:

You Fathers are fine Fooles: her honesty?

And we should give her physicke till we finde that



WOOER。



Why; doe you thinke she is not honest; Sir?



DOCTOR。



How old is she?



WOOER。



She's eighteene。



DOCTOR。



She may be;

But that's all one; tis nothing to our purpose。

What ere her Father saies; if you perceave

Her moode inclining that way that I spoke of;

Videlicet; the way of fleshyou have me?



WOOER。



Yet; very well; Sir。



DOCTOR。



Please her appetite;

And doe it home; it cures her; ipso facto;

The mellencholly humour that infects her。



WOOER。



I am of your minde; Doctor。



'Enter Iaylor; Daughter; Maide。'



DOCTOR。



You'l finde it so; she comes; pray humour her。



IAILOR。



Come; your Love Palamon staies for you; childe;

And has done this long houre; to visite you。



DAUGHTER。



I thanke him for his gentle patience;

He's a kind Gentleman; and I am much bound to him。

Did you nev'r see the horse he gave me?



IAILOR。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



How doe you like him?



IAILOR。



He's a very faire one。



DAUGHTER。



You never saw him dance?



IAILOR。



No。



DAUGHTER。



I have often。

He daunces very finely; very comely;

And for a Iigge; come cut and long taile to him;

He turnes ye like a Top。



IAILOR。



That's fine; indeede。



DAUGHTER。



Hee'l dance the Morris twenty mile an houre;

And that will founder the best hobby…horse

(If I have any skill) in all the parish;

And gallops to the turne of LIGHT A' LOVE:

What thinke you of this horse?



IAILOR。



Having these vertues;

I thinke he might be broght to play at Tennis。



DAUGHTER。



Alas; that's nothing。



IAILOR。



Can he write and reade too?



DAUGHTER。



A very faire hand; and casts himselfe th'accounts

Of all his hay and provender: That Hostler

Must rise betime that cozens him。  You know

The Chestnut Mare the Duke has?



IAILOR。



Very well。



DAUGHTER。



She is horribly in love with him; poore beast;

But he is like his master; coy and scornefull。



IAILOR。



What dowry has she?



DAUGHTER。



Some two hundred Bottles;

And twenty strike of Oates; but hee'l ne're have her;

He lispes in's neighing; able to entice

A Millars Mare: Hee'l be the death of her。



DOCTOR。



What stuffe she utters!



IAILOR。



Make curtsie; here your love comes。



WOOER。



Pretty soule;

How doe ye? that's a fine maide; ther's a curtsie!



DAUGHTER。



Yours to command ith way of honestie。

How far is't now to'th end o'th world; my Masters?



DOCTOR。



Why; a daies Iorney; wench。



DAUGHTER。



Will you goe with me?



WOOER。



What shall we doe there; wench?



DAUGHTER。



Why; play at stoole ball:

What is there else to doe?



WOOER。



I am content;

If we shall keepe our wedding there。



DAUGHTER。



Tis true:

For there; I will assure you; we shall finde

Some blind Priest for the purpose; that will venture

To marry us; for here they are nice; and foolish;

Besides; my father must be hang'd to morrow

And that would be a blot i'th businesse。

Are not you Palamon?



WOOER。



Doe not you know me?



DAUGHTER。



Yes; but you care not for me; I have nothing

But this pore petticoate; and too corse Smockes。



WOOER。



That's all one; I will have you。



DAUGHTER。



Will you surely?



WOOER。



Yes; by this faire hand; will I。



DAUGHTER。



Wee'l to bed; then。



WOOER。



Ev'n when you will。  'Kisses her。'



DAUGHTER。



O Sir; you would faine be nibling。



WOOER。



Why doe you rub my kisse off?



DAUGHTER。



Tis a sweet one;

And will perfume me finely against the wedding。

Is not this your Cosen Arcite?



DOCTOR。



Yes; sweet heart;

And I am glad my Cosen Palamon

Has made so faire a choice。



DAUGHTER。



Doe you thinke hee'l have me?



DOCTOR。



Yes; without doubt。



DAUGHTER。



Doe you thinke so too?



IAILOR。



Yes。



DAUGHTER。



We shall have many children:Lord; how y'ar growne!

My Palamon; I hope; will grow; too; finely;

Now he's at liberty: Alas; poore Chicken;

He was kept downe with hard meate and ill lodging;

But ile kisse him up againe。



'Emter a Messenger。'



MESSENGER。



What doe you here? you'l loose the noblest sight

That ev'r was seene。



IAILOR。



Are they i'th Field?



MESSENGER。



They are。

You beare a charge there too。



IAILOR。

I must ev'n leave you here。



DOCTOR。



Nay; wee'l goe with you;

I will not loose the Fight。



IAILOR。



How did you like her?



DOCTOR。



Ile warrant you; within these 3。 or 4。 daies

Ile make her right againe。  You must not from her;

But still preserve her in this way。



WOOER。



I will。



DOCTOR。



Lets get her in。



WOOER。



Come; sweete; wee'l goe to dinner;

And then weele play at Cardes。



DAUGHTER。



And shall we kisse too?



WOOER。



A hundred times。



DAUGHTER。



And twenty。



WOOER。



I; and twenty。



DAUGHTER。



And then wee'l sleepe together。



DOCTOR。



Take her offer。



WOOER。



Yes; marry; will we。



DAUGHTER。
