Of

DIPH.
Haue

But

All

Wonder

His
worth
is
great

valiant
he
is

And
one
that
neuer
thinkes
his
life
his
owne
,
If
his

neede
it

when
he
was
a
boy
,
As
oft
as
I
return'd
(
as
without
boast
)
I
brought
home
conquest
,
he
would
gaze
vpon
me

And
view
me
round
,
to
finde
in
what
one
limbe
The
vertue
lay
to
doe
those
things
he
heard
,
Then
would
he
wish
to
see
my
sword
,
and
feele
The
quicknesse
of
the
edge
,
and
in
his
hand
Weighes
it
,
he
oft
would
make
me
smile
at
this
;
His
youth
did
promise
much
,
and
his
ripe
yeares
Will
see
it
all
perform'd
.

T

Pardon

receiue
Letters
at

from
my

That

should
marie
her

DIPH.
And
so
it
stood
,
In

but
your
arriuall
Made
me
imagine
you
had
heard
the
change
.
MEL.
Who
has
he
taken
then
?
LIS.
A
Ladie
sir
,
That
beares
the
light
aboue
her
,
and
strikes
dead
With
flashes
of
her
eye
,
the
faire
Euadne
Your
vertuous
sister
.
MEL.
Peace
of
heart
betwixt
them

But
this
is
strange
.
LIS.
The
King
my

did
it
To
honour
you

and
these
solemnities
Are
at
his
charge

MEL.
T

But
I
am
sad

my
speech
beares
so
infortunate
a
sound
To
beautifull
Aspatia
,
there
is
rage
Hid
in
her
fathers
breast
Calianax
,
Bent
long
against
me
and
'a
should
not
thinke
,
Could
I
but
call
it
backe
,
that
I
would
take
Such
base
reuenges
as
to
scorne
the
state
Of
his
neglected
daughter
.
LIS.
O
t'
were
pittie
,
for
this
Lady
sir
,
Sits
discontented
with
her
watrie
eyes
bent
on
the
ear
In
vnfrequented
woods
are
her
delight
,
Where
when
she
sees
a
bancke
stucke
full
of
flowers
,
Then
she
will
sit
,
and
sigh
,
and
tell
Her
seruants
,
what
a
prittie
place
it
were
To
burie
louers
in

and
make
her
maides
Pluck
'em
,
and
strow
them
ouer
her
like
a
corse
,
She
carries
with
her
an
infectious
griefe
,
That
strikes
all
her
beholders
,
she
will
sing
The
Mournfulst
things
that
euer
eare
hath
heard

And
swound

and
sing
againe

and
when

Of

Ladyes

wanton

Tell
mirthfull
tales
in
course
that
fils
the
roome
With
laughter
,
she
will
with
so
sad
a
looke
Bring
forth
a
storie
of
the
silent
death
Of
some
forsaken
virgin
,
which
her
griefe
Will
put
in
such
a
phrase
,
that
ere
she
end
Shee
'le
send
them
weeping
one
by
one
away
.
MEL.
She
has
a
brother
vnder
my
command
Like
her
,
a
face
as
womanish
as
hers

But
with
a
spirit
that
hath
much
outgrowne
The
number
of

Enter

My

I
ioy
to
looke

those
eyes
of
thine

Thou

my

my
disordred

Cuts
off
my

AMIN.
Thou

All

a

To

In

As

And

Onely

thine

What
endlesse

Thy

After

Fetcht

She

And

Accompanied

With

When

Into

A
griefe
shoot
suddenly
through
all
my
veines
,
Mine
eyes

,
this
is
strange
at
such
a
time
,
It
was
the
King
first
mou'd
me
too
't
,
but
he
Has
not
my
will
in
keeping
,
�
why
did
I
perplex
my selfe
thus
;
something
whispers
me
,
Goe
not
to
bed
,
my
guilt
is
not
so
great
as
mine
owne
conscience
,
too
sencible
Would
make
me
thinke
,
I
onely
breake
a
promise
,
And
t
was
the
King
inforst
me
,
timerous
flesh

Why
shakst

so
,

my
idle
feares
,
Enter
Euadne
Yonder
is
she
,
the
luster
of
whose
eie
,
Can
blot
away
the
sad
remembrance
Of
all
these
things
:
�
oh
my
Euadne
spare
That
tender
body
,
let
it
not
take
cold
,
The
vapors
of
the
night
shall
not
fall
here
,
To
bed
my
loue
,
Hymen
will
punish
vs
,
For
being
slack
performers
of

,
Camst

EVAD.
No

AMINT.
Come

And

Why

EVAD.
I

To

Till

Good

Why

Why

Sworne

How

Sworne

EVAD.
Yes

sworne
Amintor

and
will
sweare
againe
.
If
you
will
wish
to
heare
me
.
AMIN.
To
whom
haue
you
sworne
this
.
EVAD.
If
I
should
name
him
the
matter
were
not
great
.
AMIN.
Come
,
this
is
but
the
coynesse
of
a
bride
.
EVAD.
The
coynesse
of
a
bride
.
AMIN.
How
pretilie
that
frowne
becomes
thee
.
EVAD.
Doe
you
like
it
so
.
AMIN.
Thou
canst
not
dresse
thy
face
in
such
a
looke
,
But
I
shall
like
it
.
EVAD.
What
looke
will
like
you
best
.
AMIN.
Why
doe
you
aske
.
EVAD.
That
I
may
shew
you
one

AMIN.
Howe

EVAD.
That
I

one
lesse
pleasing
to
you

AMIN.
I
prethee
put
thy
Iests
in
milder
lookes
,
It
shewes
as
thou
wert
angry

EVAD.
So
perhaps
I
am
indeede
.
AMIN.
Why
,
who
has
done
thee
wrong
,
Name
me
the
man
,
and
by
thy selfe
sweete
loue
,
Thy
yet
vnconquered
selfe
,
I
will
reuenge
it
.
EVAD.
Now
I
shall
trie
thy
truth
,
if
thou
doest
loue
me
.
Thou
waighst
not
any
thing
compar'd
to
me
,
Life
,
honour
,
ioyes
eternall
,
all
delights
The
world
can
yeeld
,
are
light
as
aire
To
a
true
louer
when
his
Lady
frownes
,
And
bids
him
doe
this
,
wilt
thou
kill
this
man
,
Sweare
my
Amintor
,
and
I
le
kisse
the
sun
Of
thy
lips
.
AMIN.
I
wonnot
swear
sweet
loue
,
till
I
know
the
cause
.
EVAD.
I
wood
thou
wouldst
,
Why
,
it
is
thou
that
wrongst
me
,
I
hate
thee
,
Thou
should'st
haue
kild
thy selfe
.
AMIN.
If
I
should
know
that
,
I
should
quickly
kill
The
man
you
hated
.
EVAD.
Know
it
,
and
doo
't
.
AMIN.
Oh
no
,
what
looke
so ere
thou
should'st
put
on
,
To
trie
my
faith
,
I
cannot
thinke
thee
false
,
I
cannot
finde
one
blemish
in
thy
face
Where
falsehood
should
abide
,
leaue
,
and
to
bed
,
If
you
haue
sworne
to
any
of
the
virgins
That
were
your
olde
companions
to
preserue
Your
maidenhead
a
night
,
it
may
be
done
Without
this
meanes
.
EVAD,
A
maidenhead
Amintor
at
my
yeares
.
AMIN.
Sure
she
raues
,
this
cannot
be
,
Her
naturall
temper
,
shall
I
call
thy
maides
,
Either
thy
healthfull
sleepe
hath
left
thee
long
,
Or
else
some
feauer
rages
in
thy
blood
.
EVAD.
Neither
of
these
,
what
thinke
you
I
am
mad
,
Because
I
speake
the
truth
.
AMIN.
Is
this
the
truth
,
wil
you
not
lie
with
me
to night
.
EVAD.
You
talke
as
if
you
thought
I
would
hereafter
.
AMIN.
Hereafter
,
yes
I
doe
.
EVD.
You
are
deceiu'd
,
put
off
amazement
&
with
patience
mark
,
What
I
shall
vtter
,
for
the
Oracle
Knowes
nothing
truer
t
is
not
for
a
night
Or
two
that
I
forbeare
your
bed
,
but
euer
.
AMIN.
I
dreame
,
�
awake
Amintor
.
EVAD.
You
heare
right
,
I
sooner
would
finde
out
the
beds
of
Snakes
,
And
with
my
youthfull
blood
warme
their
cold
flesh
,
Letting
them
curle
themselues
about
my
limbes
,
then
sleepe
one
night
with
thee
;
this
is
not
faind
,
Nor
sounds
it
like
the
kisses
of
a
bride
.
AMIN.
Is
flesh
so
earthly
to
endure
all
this
,
Are
these
the
ioyes
of
mariage
,
Hymen
keepe
This
story
(
that
will
make
succeeding
youth
Neglect
thy
ceremonies
)
from
all
eares
.
Let
it
not
rise
vp
for
thy
shame
and
mine
To
after
ages
,
we
will
scorne
thy
lawes
,
If
thou
no
better
blesse
them
,
touch
the
heart
Of
her
whom
thou
hast
sent
me
,
or
the
world
Shall
know
this
,
not
an
altar
then
will
smoake
In
praise
of
thee
,
we
will
adopt
vs
sonnes
,
Then
vertue
shall
inherit
and
not
blood
,
If
we
doe
lust
,
we
'le
take
the
next
we
meet
;
Seruing
our selues
as
other
creatures
doe
,
And
neuer
take
note
of
the
female
more
,
Nor
of
her
issue
:
I
doe
rage
in
vaine
,
She
cannot
iest
;
Oh
pardon
me
my
loue
,
So
deare
the
thoughts
are
which
I
hold
of
thee
,
That
I
must
breake
forth
;
satisfie
my
feare
,
It
is
a
paine
beyond
the
paine
of
death
,
To
be
in
doubt
;
confirme
it
with
an
oath
,
If
this
be
true
.
EVAD.
Doe
you
inuent
the
forme
,
Let
there
be
in
it
all
the
binding
wordes
Diuels
and
coniurers
can
put
together
,
And
I
will
take
it
,
I
haue
sworne
before
,
And
here
by
all
things
holy
doe
againe
,
Neuer
to
be
acquainted
with
thy
bed
,
Is
your
doubt
ouer
now
.
AMIN.
I
know
too
much
,
would
I
had
doubted
still
,
Was
euer
such
a
mariage
night
as
this
:
You
powers
aboue
,
if
you
did
euer
meane
Man
should
be
vs'd
thus
,
you
haue
thought
a
way
How
he
may
beare
himselfe
,
and
saue
his
honour
:
Instant
me
with
it
,
for
to
my
dull
eyes
There
is
no
meane
,
no
moderate
course
to
runne
,
I
must
liue
scorn'd
or
be
a
murderer
:
Is
there
a
third
,
why
is
this
night
so
calme
,
Why
does
not
heauen
speake
in
thunder
to
vs
,
And
drowne
their
voyce
.
EVAD.
This
rage
will
doe
no
good
.
AMIN.
Euadne
,
heare
me
,
thou
hast
tane
an
oath
,
But
such
a
rash
one
,
that
to
keepe
it
were
Worse
then
to
sweare
it
,
call
it
backe
to
thee
,
Such
vowes
as
that
neuer
ascend
the
heauen
,
A
teare
or
two
will
wash
it
quite
away
,
Haue
mercy
on
my
youth
,
my
hopefull
youth
,
If
thou
be
pittifull
,
for
without
boast
This
land
was
proud
of
me
,
what
Lady
was
there
That
men
cald
faire
,
and
vertuous
in
this
Isle
That
would
haue
shund
my
loue
,
it
is
in
thee
To
make
me
hold
this
worth
�
Oh
we
vaine
men
That
trust
all
our
reputation
To
rest
vpon
the
weake
and
yeelding
hand
Of
feeble
woman
,
but
thou
art
not
stone
,
Thy
flesh
is
soft
,
and
in
thine
eyes
doe
dwell
The
spirit
of
loue
,
thy
heart
cannot
be
hard
,
Come
leade
me
from
the
bottome
of
dispaire
,
To
all
the
ioyes
thou
hast
,
I
know
thou
wilt
.
And
make
me
carefull
least
the
sudden
change
Ore-come

spirits
.
EVAD.
When
I
call
back
this
oath
,
the
paines
of
hell
inuiron
me
.
AMIN.
I
sleepe
and
am
to
temporate
,
come
to
bed
,
Or
by
those
haires
which
if
thou
hast
a
soule
;
like
to
thy
locks
,
Were
threads
for
Kings
to
weare
About
their
armes
.
EVAD.
Why
so
perhaps
they
are
.
AMIN.
I
le
dragge
thee
to
my
bed
,
and
make
thy
tongue
Vndoe
this
wicked
oath
,
or
on
thy
flesh
I
le
print
a
thousand
wounds
to
let
out
life
.
EVAD.
I
feare
thee
not
,

what
thou
darst
to
me
,
Euery
ill
sounding
word
,
or
threatning

Thou

It

EVAD.
Doe
not
you
hazard
that
.
AMIN.
Ha
ye
your
Champions

EVAD.
Alas
Amintor
thinkst
thou
I
forbeare
To
sleepe
with
thee
,
because
I
haue
put
on
A
maidens
strictnesse
,
looke
vpon
these
cheekes
,
And
thou
shalt
finde
the
hot
and
rising
blood
Vnapt
for
such
a
vow
,
no
,
in
this
heart
There
dwels
as
much
desire
,
and
as
much
will
,
To
put
that
wished
act
,
as
euer
yet
Was
knowne
to
woman
,
and
they
haue
been
showne
Both
,
but
it
was
the
folly
of
thy
youth
,
To
thinke
this
beauty
,
to
what
land
soe're
It
shall
be
cald
,
shall
stoope
to
any
second
,
I
doe
enioy
the
best
,
and
in
that
height
Haue
sworne
to
stand
or
die
,
you
guesse
the
man
.
AMIN.
No
,
let
me
know
the
man
that
wrongs
me
so
,
That
I
may
cut
his
body
into
motes
,
And
scatter
it
before
the
Northen
winde
.
EVAD.
You
dare
not
strike
him
.
AMIN.
Doe
not
wrong
me
so
,
Yes
,
if
his
body
were
a
poysonous
plant
,
That
it
were
death
to
touch
,
I
haue
a
soule
Will
throw
me
on
him
.
EVAD.
Why
t
is
the
King
.
AMIN.
The
King
.
EVAD.
What
will
you
doe
now
?
AMIN.
It
is
not
the
King
.
EVAD.
What
did
he
make
this
match
for
dull
Amintor
.
AMIN.
Oh
thou
hast
nam'd
a
word
that
wipes
away
All
thoughts
reuengefull
,
in
that
sacred
word
,
The
King
,
there
lies
a
terror
,
what
fraile
man
Dares
lift
his
hand
against
it
,
let
the
Gods
Speake
to
him
when
they
please
,
till
when
let
vs
Suffer
,
and
waite
.
EVAD.
Why
should
you
fill
your selfe
so
full
of
heate
,
And
haste
so
to
my
bed
,
I
am
no
virgin
.
AMIN.
What
Diuell
hath
put
it
in
thy
fancy
then
To
mary
mee
.
EVAD.
Alas
,
I
must
haue
one
To
father
children
,
and
to
beare
the
name
Of
husband
to
me
,
that
my
sinne
may
be
More
honorable
.
AMIN.
What
strange
thing
am
I
?
A
miserable
one
,
one
that
my selfe
Am
sory
for
.
AMIN.
Why
shew
it
then
in
this
,
If
thou
hast
pittie
,
though
thy
loue
be
none
,
Kill
me
,
and
all
true
louers
that
shall
loue
In
after
ages
crost
in
their
desires
,
Shall
blesse
thy
memorie
,
and
call
thee
good
,
Because
such
mercy
in
thy
breast
was
found
,
To
rid
a
lingring
wretch
.
EVAD.
I
must
haue
one
To
fill
thy
roome
againe
if
thou
wert
dead
,
Else
by
this
night
I
could
,
I
pitty
thee
.
AMIN.
These
strange
and
sudden
iniuries
haue
falen
So
thick
vpon
me
,
that
I
lose
all
sense
Of
what
they
are
,
me thinkes
I
am
not
wrong'd
,
Nor
is
it
ought
,
if
from
the
censuring
world
I
can
but
hide
it
�
reputation
Thou
art
a
word
,
no
more
,
but
thou
hast
showne
An
impudence
so
high
,
that
to
the
world
I
feare
thou
wilt
betray
or
shame
thy selfe
.
EVAD.
To
couer
shame
,
I
tooke
thee
neuer
feare
,
That
I
would
blaze
my selfe
.
AMIN.
Nor
let
the
King
Know
I
conceiue
he
wrongs
me
,
then
mine
honour
Will
thrust
me
into
action
,
that
my
flesh
Could
beare
with
patience
,
and
it
is
some
ease
To
me
in
these
extreames
,
that
I
know
this
Before
I
toucht
thee
,
else
had
all
the
sinnes
Of
mankinde
stood
betwixt
me
and
the
King
,
I
had
gone
through

e'ne
to
his

and
thine
I

Shall

He

dishonour'd
thee

,
Be
carefull
of
thy

T

vpon

May

And

when

And

With

EVAD.
Feare

AMIN.
Come

and
as
wantonly
As

Le

EVAD.
I

Downe

of
my
troubled
heart

When

Howe

EVAD.
As
one
that
to
fulfill
your
pleasure
,
I
haue
giuen
leaue
to
call
me
wife
and
loue
.
KING
.
I
see
there
is
no
lasting
faith
in
sin
,
They
that
breake
word
with
heauen
,
will
breake
agen
With
all
the
world
,
and
so
doest
thou
with
me
.
EVAD.
How
sir
.
KING
.
This
subtle
womans
ignorance
Will
not
excuse
you
,
thou
hast
taken
oathes
So
great
,
that
me thought
they
did
misbecome
A
womans
mouth
,
that
thou
wouldst
nere
inioy
A
man
but
me
.
EVAD.
I
neuer
did
sweare
so
,
you
doe
me
wrong
.
KING
.
Day
and
night
haue
heard
it
.
EVAD.
I
swore
indeede
that
I
would
neuer
loue
A
man
of
lower
place
,
but
if
your
fortune
Should
throw
you
from
this
hight
,
I
bad
you
trust
I
would
forsake
you
,
and
would
bend
to
him
That
won
your
throne
,
I
loue
with
my
ambition
,
Not
with
my
eies
,
but
if
I
euer
yet
Toucht
any
other
,
Leprosie
light
here
Vpon
my
face
,
which
for
your
royaltie
I
would
not
staine
.
KING
.
Why
thou
dissemblest
,
and
it
is
in
me
To
punish
thee
.
EVAD.
Why
,
it
is
in
me
then
,
not
to
loue
you
,
which
will
More
afflict
your
bodie
,
then
your
punishment
can
mine
.
KING
.
But
thou
hast
let
Amintor
lie
with
thee
.
EVAD.
I
hannot
.

Impudence
,
he
saies
himselfe
so
.
EVAD.
A
lies

KING

A
does
not
.
EVAD.
By
this
light
he
does
,
strangely
and
basely
,
and
I
le
prooue
it
so
,
I
did
not
onely
shun
him
for
a
night
,
But
told
him
I
would
neuer
close
with
him
.
KING
.
Speake
lower
,
t
is
false
.
EVAD.
I
am
no
man
to
answer
with
a
blow
,
Or
if
I
were
,
you
are
the
King
,
but
vrge
not
,
t
is
most
true
.
KING
.
Doe
not
I
know
the
vncontrouled
thoughts
,
That
youth
brings
with
him
,
when
his
blood
is
high
,
With
expectation
and
desire
of
that
He
long
hath
waited
for
,
is
not
his
spirit
Though
he
be
temperate
,
of
a
valiant
straine
As
this
our
age
hath
knowne
,
what
could
he
doe
If
such
a
suddaine
speech
had
met
his
blood
,
But
ruine
thee
for
euer
,
if
he
had
not
kild
thee
He
could
not
beare
it
thus
,
he
is
as
we
Or
any
other
wrong'd
man
.
EVAD.
This
is
dissembling
,
Amintor
,
thou
hast
an
ingenious
looke
,
And
should'st
be
vertuous
,
it
amazeth
me
That
thou
should'st
make
such
base
malicious
lies
.
AMIN.
What
my
deere
wife
.
EVAD.
Deere
wife
,
I
doe
despise
thee
,
Why
nothing
can
be
baser
then
to
sow
Discention
amongst

AMIN.
Louers

The

and
I

Oh

Were

pickthanks
as

Did
you
lie
with

sweare
now

and
be
punisht
in

For
this
.
AMIN.
The
faithlesse

I
made
To

is
not

reueng'd

It
followes
me
,
I
will
not
loose
a
word
To
this
wilde
woman

but
to
you
my
King
,
The
anguish
of
my
soule
thrusts
out
this
truth
,
Y'
are
a
tirant
,
and
not
so
much
to
wrong
An
honest
man
thus
,
as
to
take
a
pride
In
talking
with
him
of
it
.
EVAD.
Now
sir
,
see
how
loud
this
fellow
lies
.
AMIN.
You
that
can
know
to
wrong

shold
know
how
Men
must
right
themselues
,
what
punishment
is
due
,
From
me
to
him
that
shall
abuse
my
bed
,
It
is
not

Vnlesse

Draw

If

there

Diuinitie
about

that

My

I
fall
before

To

Alas

I
am
nothing
but
a

I
murder
you

I
might
before

take
the
excuse
Of

for
compare
my
iniuries

And
they
will
well
appeare
too

For

Amongst

treacherous

Touch

why

I
know

To

wretched

Easie

To

To

Though

MEL.
Speake

againe

before
mine

grow
Vp
beyond

what
are
thy
griefes
?
AMIN.
By
all
our

,
these
.
MEL.
What
,
am
I
sane
,
After
mine
actions
,
shall
the
name
of

Blot
all
our
family
,
and
stick
the
brand
Of
whore
vpon
my
sister
vnreueng'd
My
shaking
flesh
be
thou
a
witnesse
for
me
,
With
what
vnwillingnesse
I
goe
to
scourge
This
rayler
,
whom
my
folly
hath
cald
friend
,
I
will
not
take
thee
basely
,
thy
sword
Hangs
neere
thy
hand
,
draw
it
,
that
I
may
whip
Thy
rashnesse
to
repentance
,
draw
thy
sword
.
AMIN.
Not
on
thee
,
did
thine
anger
goe
as
high
As
troubled
waters
,
thou
shouldst
doe
me
ease
,
Heere
,
and
eternally
,
if
thy
noble
hand
,
Would
cut
me
from
my
sorrowes
.
MEL.
This
is
base
,
And
fearefull
,
they
that
vse
to
vtter
lies
,
Prouide
not
blowes
,
but
wordes
to
qualifie
The
men
they
wrong'd
,
thou
hast
a
guilty
cause
.
AMIN.
Thou
pleasest
me
,
for
so
much
more
like
this
,
Will
raise
my
anger
vp
aboue
my
griefes
,
Which
is
a
passion
easier
to
be
knowne
,
And
I
shall
then
be
blessed

MEL.
Take
then
more
,
to
raise
thine

Cowardise
makes
thee

I
will
leaue

How euer

With

as

I
le
make
thy
memory
loath'd

and
fix
a
farewell
Vpon
thy

AMIN.
Then
I
draw
,
As
iustly
as
our
Magistrates
their
swords
,
To
cut
offenders
off
;
I
knew
before
,
T
would
grate
your
eares
,
but
it
was
base
in
you
To
vrge
a
waighty
secret
from
your
friend
,
And
then
rage
at
it
,
I
shall
be
at
ease
If
I
be
kild

and
if
you
fall
by
me
,
I
shall
not
long
out
liue
you

Stay

The

To

And
thrusts
me
vpon

that
will
take
My

This

pardon

If

Pearce

To

A

AMINT.
How

I
feare
my

that
you
will
loose

shortly
,
And
I
shall
doe
a
foule
act
on

Through
these

Why

Therefore

His

Euad.
T

Mel.
Y'

To

When

For

Found

When

To

Dare

Farewell

Would

could
say
so
to
my
blacke
disgrace
,
Gods
where
haue
I
beene

;
how
friended
,
That
I
should
lose
my selfe
thus
desperately
,
And
none
for
pittie
shew

how
I
wandred
.
There
is
not
in
the
compasse
of
the
light
A
more
vnhappy
creature
,
sure
I
am
monstrous
,
For
I
haue
done
those
follies
those
mad
mischiefes
Would
dare
a
woman
.
O
my
loaden
soule
,
Be
not
so
cruell
to
me
,
choake
not
vp
Enter
Amintor

The

O

Amint.
How

?
Euad.
My
much
abused
Lord
.
Kneele
.
Amint.
This
cannot
be

Euad.
I
doe
not
kneele
to
liue
,
I
dare
not
hope

,
The
wrongs
I
did
are
greater
,
looke
vpon
me
Though
I
appeare
with
all
my
faults
.
Amint.
Stand
vp
.
This
is
a
new
way
to
beget
more
sorrowes
,
Heauen
knowes
I
haue
too
many
,
doe
not
mocke
me
,
Though
I
am
tame
and
bred
vp
with
my
wrongs
,
Which
are
my
foster-brothers
,
I
may
leape
Like
a
hand-wolfe
into
my
naturall
wildnesse
,
And
doe
an
outrage
,
prethee
doe
not
mocke
me
.
Euad.
My
whole
life
is
so
leaprous
it
infects
All
my
repentance
,
I
would
buy
your
pardon
Though
at
the
highest
set
,
euen
with
my
life
,
That
sleight
contrition
,
that
;
no
sacrifice
For
what
I
haue
committed
.
Amint
Sure
I
dazle
.
There
cannot
be
A
faith
in
that
foule
woman
That
knowes
no
God
more
mighty
then
her
mischiefes
,
Thou
doest
still
worse
,
still
number
on
thy
faults
,
To
presse
my
poore
heart
thus
.
Can
I
beleeue
There
's
any
seed
of
vertue
in
that
woman
Left
to
shoot
vp
,
that
dares
goe
in
sinne
Knowne
and
so
knowne
as
thine
is
,
O
Euadne
,
Would
there
were
any
safetie
in
thy
sex
,
That
I
might
put
a
thousand
sorrowes
off
,
And
credit
thy
repentance
,
but
I
must
not
,
Thou
hast
brought
me
to
that
dull
calamitie
,
To
that
strange
misbeleefe
of
all
the
world
,
And
all
things
that
are
in
it
,
that
I
feare
I
shall
fall
like
a
tree
,
and
finde
my
graue
,
Only
remembring
that
I
grieue
.
Euad.
My
Lord
,
Giue
me
your
griefes
,
you
are
an
innocent
,
A
soule
as
white
as
heauen
,
let
not
my
sinnes
Perish
your
noble
youth
,
I
doe
not
fall
here
To
shadow
by
dissembling
with
my
teares
As
all
say
women
can
,
or
to
make
lesse
What
my
hot
will
hath
done
,
which
heauen
and
you
Knowes
to
be
tougher
then
the
hand
of
time
Shall
cut
from
mans
remembrance
,
no
I
doe
not
,
I
doe
appeare
the
same
,
the
same
Euadne
,
Drest
in
the
shames
I
liu'd
in
,
the
same
monster
.
But
these
are
names
of
honour
to
what
I
am
,
I
doe
present
my selfe
the
foulest
creature
,
Most
poisonous
,
dangerous
,
and
despisde
of
men
Lerna
ere
bred
or
Nilus
,
I
am
hell
,
Till
you
my
deare
Lord
shoot
your
light
into
me
,
The
beames
of
your
forgiuenesse
,
I
am
soule
sicke
,
And
wither
with
the
feare
of
one
condemnd
,
Till
I
haue
got
your
pardon
.
Amint.
Rise
Euadne
.
Those
heauenly
powers
that
put
this
good
into
thee
Grant
a
continuance
of
it
,
I
forgiue
thee
Make
thyselfe
worthy
of
it

and
take

Take

Euadne

serious
Mocke
not
the
powers
aboue
that
can

and
dare
Giue
thee
a
great
example
of
their
iustice
To
all
insuing
eyes
,
if
thou
plai'st
With
thy
repentance
,
the
best
sacrifice
.
Euad.
I
haue
done
nothing
good
to
get
beleife
,
My
life
hath
beene
so
faithlesse
,
all
the
Creatures
Made
for
heauens
honors
haue
their
ends
,
and
good
ones
Al
but
the
cousening
Crocodiles
false
women

They
raigne
here
like
those
plagues
,
those
killing
soares
Men

against

and
when
they
die
;
like
tales
Ill
told
,
and
vnbeleiu'd
they
passe
away
,
And
go
to
dust
forgotten
:
But
my
Lord
Those
short
daies
I
shall
number
to
my
rest
,
(
As
many
must
not
see
me
,
)
shall
though
too
late
,
Though
in
my
euening
,
yet
perceiue
a
will
Since
I
can
doe
no
good
because
a
woman
,
Reach
constantly
at
something
that
is
neere
it
,
I
will
redeeme
one
minute
of
my
age
,
Or
like
another
Niobe
I

weepe
Till
I

Amint.
I

dissolued

My
frozen
soule

may
each

Finde
a

I

at

:
Hadst

thus
excellently

Before
that
deuill
King
tempted
thy

Sure
thou

made
a

From

I

As

When

My

Though
my

I

but
this
sweete
repentance
Lockes
vp
my
vengeance
,
for
which
,
thus
I
kisse

The

What

But

To

To

Such

Reach

Amint.
Here

This

set
Blushes
vpon

A

Yet
I
wonder
much
Of
the
strange
desperation
of

That

such
acts
here
in

,
He
could
not

Were

He

He
need
not

leaue
No

King

No

Could

Call.
But

King

I

For

the

By

Rudely

But

naught
But
misconstruction

Much

Of

T

Not

let

Plot

If

Thou

Amint.
I

but
thou
hast
charmd
my

Out
of

Mel.
I

The

did
distrust

By
that
old
fellowes
carriage
,
but
take
heed
,
There
's
not
the
least
limbe
growing
to
a
King
But
carries
thunder
in
't

Mel.
I
haue
none
against

.
Amint.
Why
come
then

Mel.
I
will

A

Sent

Vpon

Are

Thus

This

My

Griefes

And

It

For
she
that

That

May

And

With

the
faire
office
To

Ser.
What
would
you

?
Aspat.
I

For

I
desire
To

.
Ser.
Sir
because
you

I

Aspat.
It

become
you
though
to

Ser.
Sir

I

about
no

Aspat.
This

Pray

Exit

Aspat.
How
stubbornly
this
fellow
answer'd
me
!
There
is
a
vild
dishonest
tricke
in
man
,
More
then
in
women
:
all
the
men
I
meet
Appeare
thus
to
me
,
are
harsh
and
rude
,
And
haue
a
subtletie
in
euery
thing
,
Which
loue
could
neuer
know
;
but
we
fond
women
Harbour
the
easiest
and
the
smoothest
thoughts
,
And
thinke
all
shall
goe
so
,
it
is
vniust
That
men
and
women
should
be
matcht
together
.
Amint.
Where
is
he
?
Enter
Amintor
and
his
man
.
Ser.
There
my
Lord
.
Amint.
What
would
you
Sir
?
Aspat.
Please
it
your
Lordship
to
command
your
man
Out
of
the
roome
,
I
shall
deliuer
things
Worthy
your
hearing
.
Amint.
Leaue
vs
.
Aspat.
O
that
that
shape
should
burie
falshood
in
it
.
Aside
.
Amint.
Now
your
will
Sir
.
Aspat.
When
you
know
me
,
my
Lord
,
you
needs
must
ghesse
My
businesse
,
and
I
am
not
hard
to
know
.
For
till
the
chance
of
warre
markt
this
smooth
face
With
these
few
blemishes
,
people
would
call
me
My
sisters
picture
,
and
her
mine
:
in
short
,
I
am
the
brother
to
the
wrong'd
Aspatia
.
Amint.
The
wrong'd
Aspatia
,
would
thou
wert
so
too
Vnto
the
wrong'd
Amintor
,
let
me
kisse
That
hand
of
thine
in
honour
that
I
beare
Vnto
the
wrong'd
Aspatia
,
here
I
stand
That
did
it
,
would
he
could
not
,
gentle
youth
Leaue
me
,
for
there
is
something
in
thy
lookes
That
cals
my
sins
in
a
most
odious
forme
Into
my
minde
,
and
I
haue
griefe
enough
Without
thy
helpe
.
Aspat.
I
would
I
could
with
credit
.
Since
I
was
twelue
yeeres
old
I
had
not
seene
My
sister
till
this
houre
,
I
now
arriu'd
,
She
sent
for
me
to
see
her
marriage
,
A
wofull
one
,
but
they
that
are
aboue
Haue
ends
in
euery
thing
,
she
vsd
few
words
,
But
yet
enough
to
make
me
vnderstand
The
basenesse
of
the
iniuries
you
did
her
,
That
little
trayning
I
haue
had
,
is
war
,
I
may
behaue
my selfe
rudely
in
peace
,
I
would
not
though
,
I
shall
not
need
to
tell
you
I
am
but
young
,
and
would
be
loth
to
loose
Honour
that
is
not
easily
gaind
againe
,
Fairely
I
meane
to
deale
,
the
age
is
strict
For
single
combats
,
and
we
shall
be
stopt
If
it
be
publisht
,
if
you
like
your
sword
Vse
it
,
if
mine
appeare
a
better
to
you
,
Change
,
for
the
ground
is
this
,
and
this
the
time
To
end
our
difference
.
Amint.
Charitable
youth
,
If
thou
beest
such
,
thinke
not
I
will
maintaine
So
strange
a
wrong
,
and
for
thy
sisters
sake
,
Know
,
that
I
could
not
thinke
that
desperate
thing
I
durst
not
doe
,
yet
to
inioy
this
world
I
would
not
see
her
,
for
beholding
thee
,
I
am
I
know
not
what
,
if
I
haue
ought
That
may
content
thee
,
take
it
,
and
be
gone
,
For
death
is
not
so
terrible
as
thou
,
Thine
eies
shoote
guilt
into
me
.
Aspat.
Thus
she
swore
,
Thou
wouldst
behaue
thy selfe
and
giue
me
words
That
would
fetch
teares
into
my
eies
,
and
so
Thou
doest
indeed
,
but
yet
she
bad
me
watch
,
Least
I
were
cossend
,
and
be
sure
to
fight
Ere
I
returnd
.
Amint.
That
must
not
be
with
me
,
For
her
I
le
die
directly
,
but
against
her
Will
neuer
hazard
it
.
Aspat.
You
must
be
vrgd
,
I
doe
not
deale
vnciuilly
with
those
that
dare
to
fight
,
but
such
a
one
as
you
Must
be
vsd
thus
.
She
strikes
him
.
Amint.
I
prethee
youth
take
heed
,
Thy
sister
is
a
thing
to
me
so
much
Aboue
mine
honour
,
that
I
can
indure
All
this
,
good
gods
�
a
blow
I
can
indure
,
But
stay
not
,
least
thou
draw
a
timelesse
death
Vpon
thy selfe
.
Aspat.
Thou
art
some
prating
Fellow
,
One
that
has
studied
out
a
tricke
to
talke
And
moue
soft
harted
people
;
to
be
kickt
She
kickes
him
aside
.
Thus
to
be
kickt
�
why
should
he
be
so
slow
In
giuing
me
my
death
.
Amint.
A
man
can
beare
No
more
and
keepe
his
flesh
,
forgiue
me
then
,
I
would
indure
yet
if
I
could
,
now
show
The
spirit
thou
pretendest
,
and
vnderstand
Thou
hast
no
houre
to
liue
,
what
dost
thou
meane
,
they
fight
Thou
canst
not
fight
,
the
blowes
thou
makst
at
me
Are
quite
besides
,
and
those
I
offer
at
thee
Thou
spreadst
thine
armes
,
and
takst
vpon
thine
brest
Alas
defencelesse
.
Aspat.
I
haue
got
enough
,
And
my
desire
,
there
is
no
place
so
fit
For
me
to
die
as
here
.
Ent.
Euadne
.
Euad.
Amintor
I
am
loaden
with
euents
That
flie
to
make
thee
happy
,
I
haue
ioyes
That
in
a
moment
can
call
backe
thy
wrongs
And
settle
thee
in
thy
free
state
againe
,
It
is
Euadne
still
that
followes
thee
But
not
her
mischiefes
.
Amint.
Thou
canst
not
foole
me
to
beleeue
agen
,
But
thou
hast
bookes
and
things
so
full
of
newes
That
I
am
stald
.
Euad.
Noble
Amintor
put
off
thy
amaze
,
Let
thine
eies
loose
,
and
speake
,
am
I
not
faire
,
Lookes
not
Euad:
beatious
with
these
rites
now
Were
those
houres
halfe
so
louely
in
thine
eyes
When
our
hands
met
before
the
holy
man
,
I
was
too
foule
within
,
to
looke
faire
then
,
Since
I
knew
ill
I
was
not
free
till
now
.
Amint.
There
is
presage
of
some
important
thing
About
thee
which
it
seemes
thy
tongue
hath
lost
,
Thy
hands
are
bloudy
,
and
thou
hast
a
knife
.
Euad.
In
this
consists
thy
happinesse
and
mine
,
Ioy
to
Amintor
for
the
King
is
dead
.
Amint.
Those
haue
most
power
to
hurt
vs
,
that
we
loue
We
lay
our
sleeping
liues
within
their
armes
,
Why
thou
hast
raisd
vp
mischiefe
to
his
height
And
found
one
,
to
out-name
thy
other
faults
,
Thou
hast
no
intermission
of
thy
sinnes
,
But
all
thy
life
is
a
continued
ill
,
Blacke
is
thy
coulor
now
,
disease
thy
nature
Ioy
to
Amintor
,
thou
hast
toucht
a
life
The
very
name
of
which
had
power
to
chaine
Vp
all
my
rage
,
and
tame
my
wildest
wrongs
.
Euad.
T
is
done
,
and
since
I
could
not
finde
away
To
meete
thy
loue
so
cleare
,
as
through
his
life
I
cannot
now
repent
it
.
Amint.
Cudst
thou
procure
the
gods
to
speake
to
me
,
To
bid
me
loue
this
woman
,
and
forgiue
,
I
thinke
I
should
fall
out
with
them
,
behold
Here
lies
a
youth
whose
wounds
bleed
in
my
breast
,
Sent
by
his
violent
Fate
to
fetch
his
death
From
my
slow
hand
,
this
keepes
night
here
And
throwes
an
vnknowne
Wildernesse
about
me
.
Aspat.
Oh
oh
oh
.
Amint.
No
more
persue
me
not
.
Euad.
Forgiue
me
then
and
take
me
to
thy
bed
,
We
may
not
part
.
Amint.
Forbeare
be
wise
,
and
let
my
rage
go
this
way
.
Euad.
T
is
you
that
I
would
stay
,
not
it
.
Amint.
Take
heed
it
will
returne
with
me
.
Euad.
If
it
must
be
I
shall
not
feare
to
meete
it
,
Take
me
home
.
Amint.
Thou
Monster
of
crueltie
,
forbeare
.
Euad.
For
heauens
sake
looke
more
calme
,
Thine
eies
are
crueller
,
then
thou
canst
make
thy
sword
.
Amint.
Away
,
away
thy
knees
are
more
to
me
then
violence
,
I
am
worse
then
sicke
to
see
knees
follow
me
,
For
that
I
must
not
grant
,
for
Gods
sake
stand
,
Euad.
Receiue
me
then
.
Amint.
I
dare
not
stay
,
thy
language
,
In
midst
of
all
my
anger
,
and
my
griefe
,
Thou
doest
awake
some
thing
that
troubles
me
,
And
saies
I
lou'd
thee
once
,
I
dare
not
stay
,
There
is
no
end
of
womans
reasoning
.
leaues
her
.
Euad.
Amintor
thou
shalt
loue
me
now
againe
,
Go
I
am
calme
,
farwell
,
And
peace
for
euer
.
Euadne
whom
thou
hatst
will
die
for
thee
.
Kills
herselfe
.
Amint.
I
haue
a
little
humane
nature
yet
That
's
lest
for
thee
,
that
bids
me
stay
thy
hand
.
Returnes
.
Euad.
Thy
hand
was
welcome
but
it
came
too
late
,
Oh
I
am
lost
the
heauie
sleepe
makes
hast
.
Aspat.
Oh
oh
oh
.
Amint.
This
earth
of
mine
doth
tremble
,
and
I
feele
A
starke
affrighted
motion
in
my
bloud
,
My
soule
growes
weary
of
her
house
,
and
I
All
ouer
am
a
trouble
to
my selfe
,
There
is
some
hidden
power
in
these
dead
things
That
calls
myselfe
vnto
'em
,
I
am
cold
,
Be
resolute
,
and
beare
'em
company
,
There
's
something
yet
which
I
am
loath
to
leaue
,
There
's
man
enough
in
me
to
meete
the
feares
That
death
can
bring
,
and
yet
would
it
were
done
,
I
can
finde
nothing
in
the
whole
discourse
Of
death
I
durst
not
meete
the
bouldest
way
,
Yet
still
betwixt
the
reason
and
the
act
The
wrong
I
to
Aspatia
did
stands
vp
,
I
haue
not
such
another
fault
to
answer
,
Though
she
may
iustly
arme
her selfe
with
scorne
And
hate
of
me
,
my
soule
will
part
lesse
troubled
,
When
I
haue
paid
to
her
in
teares
my
sorrow
,
I
will
not
leaue
this
act
vnsatisfied
,
If
all
that
's
left
in
me
can
answer
it
.
Aspat.
Was
it
a
dreame
?
There
stands
Amintor
still
,
Or
I
dreame
still
.
Amint.
How
doest
thou
?
speake
,
receiue
my
loue
&
helpe
:
Thy
bloud
climbes
vp
to
his
old
place
againe
,
There
's
hope
of
thy
recouerie
.
Aspat.
Did
you
not
name
Aspatia
?
Amint.
I
did
.
Aspat.
And
talkt
of
teares
and
sorrow
vnto
her
.
Amint.
T
is
true
,
and
till
these
happie
signes
in
thee
Staid
my
course
,
it
was
thither
I
was
going
.
Aspat.
Thou
art
there
already
,
and
these
wounds
are
hers
:
Those
threats
I
brought
with
me
,
sought
not
reuenge
,
But
came
to
fetch
this
blessing
from
thy
hand
.
I
am
Aspatia
yet
.
Amint.
Dare
my
soule
euer
looke
abroad
agen
?
Aspat.
I
shall
sure
liue
Amintor
,
I
am
well
,
A
kinde
of
healthfull
ioy
wanders
within
me
.
Amint.
The
world
wants
lines
to
excuse
thy
losse
,
Come
let
me
beare
thee
to
some
place
of
helpe
.
Aspat.
Amintor
thou
must
stay
,
I
must
rest
here
,
My
strength
begins
to
disobey
my
will
.
How
dost
thou
my
best
soule
?
I
would
faine
liue
,
Now
if
I
could
,

Alas
