This

he

so
troublesome

Mr.

He

a
black
patch
already

2
By
your

For

Do'st

no
more
wit
then
to

a
Comedy
?
my
Ladies
Chaplain
made
the
Play

Exit
.
2
Is
he
gone

in
my
mind
a
masque
had
been
fitter
for
a
mariage
.
4
Why
mute
?
there
was
no
time
for
't
,
and
the
scenes
Are
troublesome
.
2
Half
a
score
Deal
tack'd
together
in
the
clouds

Throne

all
the
properties
have
been
paid
forty
times
over

and
are
in
the

stock

You

Poets
plot

I
know
not
but
by
this
false
beard
,
and
here

hair
enough
to
hang
a
reasonable
honest
man
,
I
do
not
remember
to
say
a
strong
line
indeed
in
the
whole
Comedy

At

so
like
friends
None
could
suspect
their
hast
,
which
is
secur'd
By
advantage
of
the
night
.
Col.
I
answer
for
'em
all
,
't
is
stake
enough
For
many
lives
,
but
if
that
poniard
Had
voice
,
it
would
convince
they
were
but
all
Spectators
of
my
act
;
and
now
if
you
Will
give
your
judgments
leave
,
though
at
the
first
Face
of
this
object
your
cool
bloods
were
frighted
,
I
can
excuse
this
deed
and
call
it
Justice
;
An
act

your
honours

and
your
office
Sir

Is
bound
to

a
Law
upon

To
Imitate

To

read
there
,
how
you
were
cozen'd
Sir
,
Your
power
affronted

and
my

A
jugling
witchcraft
to
betray

make
My
love

horse
to
stalk
withall
,
and
catch
Her

Minion
.
Car.
Is
it
possible
The
Dutchess
could
dissemble
so
,
and
forfeit
Her
modesty
with
you
,
and
to
us
all
?
Yet
I
must
pity
her
;
my
Nephew
has
Been
too
severe
,
though
this
affront
would
call
A
dying
man
from
prayers
,
and
turn
him
Tiger
,
There
being
nothing
dearer
than
our
fame
,
Which
,
If
a

has
no
Ingredient
of
honour

labour
to
Preserve

a
Souldier
(
by
his
nearest
tye
To
glory

above
all
others

bound
To
vindicate
;
and
yet
it
might
have
been
less
bloody

Her.
Charitable
Devill
!
K.
Reads
.
I
Pray
,
my
Lord
,
release
under
your
hand
,
what
you
dare
challenge
in
my
love
or
person
,
as
a
just
forfeit
to
my self
,
this
act
will
speak
you
honorable
to
my
thoughts
,
and
when
you
have
conquered
thus
your self
,
you
may
proceed
to
many
victories
,
and
after
,
with
safety
of
your
famit
visit
again
The
lost
Rosaura
.
To
this
your
Answer
was
a
free

Col.
Flatter'd
with
great
opinion
of
her
faith
,
And
my
desert
of

with
thought
that
she

Who
seem'd
to
weep
and
chide
my
easie
will
To
part
with
her
,
could
not
be
guilty
of
A
treason
,
or
Apostacy
so
soon
,
But
rather
meant
this
a
device
to
make
Me
expedite
the
affairs
of
War

I
sent
That
paper
,
which
her
wickedness
not
justice
,
Applied
(
what
I
meant
tryall
)
her
divorce
;
I
lov'd
her
so
,
I
dare
call
heaven
to
witness
I
knew
not
whether
I
lov'd
most
;
while
she
,
With
him
,
whose
crimson
penitence
I
provok'd
,
Conspir'd
my
everlasting
infamy
;
Examine
but
the
circumstance
.
Car.
'T
is
clear
,
This
Match
was
made
at
home
before
she
sent
That
cunning
writ
,
in
hope
to
take
him
off
,
As
knowing
his
impatient
Soul
would
scorn
To
own
a
blessing
came
on
crutches
to
him
;
It
was
not
well
to
raise
his
expectation
,
(
Had
you
,
Sir
,
no
affront
)
to
ruine
him
With
so
much
scandall
and
contempt
.
K.
We
have
Too
plentifull
a
circumstance
to
accuse
You
Madam
,
as
the
cause
of
your
own
sorrows
,
But
not
without
an
accessary
,
more
Than
young
Alvarez
.
Car.
Any
other
instrument
?
K.
Yes
I
am
guilty
,
with
her self
,
and
Don
Columbo
,
though
our
acts
look'd
severall
waies
,
That
thought
a
lover
might
so
soon
be
ransom'd
;
And
did
exceed
the
office
of
a
King
To
exercise
dominion
over
hearts
,
That
owe
to
the
prerogative
of
heaven
Their
choice
,
or
Separation
;
you
must
therefore
,
When
you
do
kneel
for
Justice
,
and
Revenge
,
Madam
,
consider
me
a
laterall
agent
In
poor
Alvarez
Tragedy
.
1
Lo.
It
was
your
love
to
Don
Columbo
Sir
.
Her.
So
,
so
;
the
King
is
charm'd
;
do
you
observe
,
How
to
acquit
Columbo
,
he
would
draw
Himself
into
the
plot
;
Heaven
,
is
this
Justice
?
Car.
Your
Judgment
is
divine
in
this
.
K.
And
yet
,
Columbo
cannot
be
secure
,
and
we
Just
in
his
pardon
,
that
durst
make
so
great
,
And
insolent
a
breach
of
Law
and
Duty
.
2
Lo.
Ha
,
Will
he
turn
agen
?
K.
And
should
we
leave
This
guilt
of
blood
to
Heaven
,
which
cries
,
and
strikes
,
With
loud
appeals
the
palace
of
eternity
,
Yet
here
is
more
to
charge
Columbo
,
than
Alvarez
blood
,
and
bids
me
punish
it
,
Or
be
no
King
.
Her.
'T
is
come
about
my
Lords
.
K.
And
If
I
should
forgive
His
timeless
death
,
I
cannot
the
offence
,
That
with
such
boldness
struck
at
me
.
Has
my
Indulgence
to
your
merits
which
are
great
Made
me
so
cheap
,
your
rage
could
meet
,
no
time
Nor
place
for
your
revenge
,
but
where
my
eys
Must
be
affrighted
,
and
affronted
with
The
bloody
execution
?
This
contempt
Of
Majesty
transcends
my
power
to
pardon
,
And
you
shall
feel
my
anger
Sir
.
Her.
Thou
shalt
have
one
short
prayer
more
for
that
.
Col.
Have
I
i'
th'
progress
of
my
life
No
actions
to
plead
me
up
deserving
,
Against
this
ceremony
?
Car.
Contain
your self
.
Col.
I
must
be
dumb
then
;
where
is
honour
?
And
gratitude
of
Kings
,
when
they
forget
Whose
hand
secur'd
their
greatness
?
take
my
head
off
,
Examine
then
which
of
your
silken
Lords
,
As
I
have
done
,
will
throw
himself
on
dangers
;
Like
to
a
floting
Iland
move
in
blood
;
And
where
your
great
defence
calls
him
to
stand
A
Bullwark
,
upon
his
hold
brest
to
take
In
death
,
that
you
may
live
:
but
Souldiers
are
Your
valiant
fools
,
whom
when
your
own
securities
Are
bleeding
you
can
cherish
,
but
when
once
Your
state
and
nerves
are
knit
,
not
thinking
when
To
use
their
surgery
again
,
you
cast
Them
off
,
and
let
them
hang
in
dusty
armories
,
Or
make
it
death
to
ask
for
pay
.
K.
No
more
,
We
thought
to
have
put
your
victory
and
merits
In
ballance
with
Alvarez
death
,
which
while
Our
mercy
was
to
Iudge
,
had
been
your
safety
;
But
the
affront
to
us
,
made
greater
by
This
boldness
to
upbraid
our
royall
bounty
,
Shall
tame
or
make
you
nothing
.
Lor.
Excellent
.
Her.
The
Cardinal
is
not
pleas'd
.
Car.
Humble
your self
To
th'
King
.
Col.
And
beg
my
life
?
let
cowards
do
't
That
dare
not
dy
,
I
'l
rather
have
no
head
Than
owe
it
to
his
Charity
.
K.
To
th'
Castle
with
him
.
Madam
,
I
leave
you
to
your
grief
,
and
what
The
King
can
recompence
to
your
tears
,
or
honor
Of
your
dead
Lord
,
expect
.
Dut.
This
shews
like
Iustice
.
Exeunt
.
