thy ears continually With dismall sounds Hark Recorders Phil. Sure some power pittying the misery that I must suffer Gives me this farewell to all happinesse Ser. Now begins your torments but that they may be more Sensible let him see him his misery they unvail him Phil. Amazment seizes me is this a loathed Prison Or this the harsh and dismall notes of wicked birds Or look these men as they would stab rather adore me What do I fool my selfe this is a dream I am sure asleep Ser. Propose your wishes and we are ready to effect them As far as lies in human power Phil. This is no dream I am awake this is my hand And these my hairs I feel pain now I pull them Sure 't is a vision or worse inchantment the wicked Mistresse Of this house to all her other ills is certainly a witch Enter Lucinda I am confirmed 't is so for here she comes Changed in a form equall to Aurelia and far more Gently does she look upon me than she did at our parting Luc. Sir you are welcome if there be defect in any thing It comes from negligence of servants not from my will A valiant Knight and flie thus from a Lady Phil. What should I fear she cannot hurt my mind With all her art how ere she may my person Besides shee 'l change her form and look before she do me ill This shape can nought produce that can offend Luc Pray you sir sit Phil. I will Luc. Not so far off if you please Phil. You think I fear Luc. No Sir but I perceive you are not confident of what you see Sir recollect your self for what you heard Before from these was but what I directed With an intent indeed to set off as with a foil This mean but hearty entertainment Phil. I dare not trust you you speak too well To mean well since I am a stranger And no way have deserved these favours Ser. My Lady Sir hath told you truth Luc. Save your pains leave us I 'le clear his understanding Exeunt Servants Phil. The danger now approches if she be a witch Wickednesse desires no witnesse Luc. Sir if ere you lov'd which yet I wish you had not Then the discourse I am to make will with more ease Approach your understanding and soon gain belief I am a Lady as you see not much deform'd The Servants and the stuff here are not borrowed Nor will it hurt my state thus daily to entertain Such as I make my friends and such my birth is As bids me live thus without tax of pride I am mine own disposer no Parents to blame My disobedience though my choice should only Please my selfe They live not or if they did My fortune was not wholly left by them Phil. You are in a happy state since you have power To make some noble spirit fortunate and you in him Sure she is really what she relates Luc. I might have been most happy if my unlucky Starrs Had not in one particular crost me Phil. Your courtesie obliges me to ask you wherein I vow she weeps the tears like Orientall Pearls Drop from her eyes making a path down Her most lovely cheeks that may direct the looker on If lost in wonder as I am to finde the way Back to those heavenly springs from whence all treasure Flowes rich above Tagus or what poets ever fain'd Speak gentle Lady why this sorrow Luc. They are not tears of sorrow but of anger To see my liberty thus lost that liberty Which I have so much prised as some have thought There was just cause to think me proud and then to lay My selfe and all my fortunes even at mine enemies feet Oh misery have I not cause think you to weep And curse my cruell Stars that force me to do this Phil. I must confesse 't is a hard fate for to be subject To ones enemy But sure your merits have the power to turn That enmity to friendship if you please Be plain and let me know your meaning And with the hazard of my life I 'le serve you Luc. Then thus I hated you above all creature living The cause seek not to know for 't is impossible nay came With an intent to see you murder'd but when I saw you Though you then slept the graces all me-thought Dwelt in you face and so protected you from harm That I that came with all that malice became Your sole preserver and not content with that streight way I made you absolute commander of me and mine Phil. You amaze me Luc. But not intending that you e're should know me Nor the place of my abode if you return'd not love I made my servants bring you thus blind fold Hither lest you might boast my love hereafter Phil. Madam 't is a most strange discourse that you have made And yet you so deliver it that I must think it Truth but what to answer I am ignorant 'T is best I should be plain since you desire to be so Then must you know that my unhappy Starrs Make me uncapable to receive the unequall treasure Which you offer in your rich selfe A Lady like your selfe To say more fair were false hath long since rob'd Me of the power to be my own disposer Luc. I fear'd indeed that so much worth as you are Master of Could not be undispos'd of since where 's that woman Would not use her utmost art to gain a servant That she might so justly glory in I desire to know Her name yet that I may pay her beauty and her wisdome That respect it merits for loving you Phil. Madam I must not but trust me shee 's too wise to love Me still for she hath found me now of late much ' much Defective but I do hope my constancy will Make supply for I vow my affection and my life have But one date Luc. Say you so this protestation hath much lessened The opinion I held of your worth Perhaps you say This to avoid my importunity which I do too much Apprehend I am no ravisher may be when you shall see Some greedily pursue what you do with such scorn refuse And those perhaps your equalls you 'l finde too late You fondly have pursued your misery and fled From a great happinesse and begin to make you Feel your folly I 'le tie you to this hard condition As I believe you will account it Phil. What is' t Lady there 's but one womans threatning That can affright me Luc. Say you so I 'le try that tell me that womans name The place of her abode or by my hopes of happinesse I 'le make you the most miserable man alive For you shall never see again what you so cov•• enjoy Phil. You are witty in your anger this is no ef•••… of that great love That you profest it may be time will make me Better know your worth Me-thinks you look m•… lovely Then you did though at the first fair Luc. Oh Sir do you
there can be any other good in women Than onely that they do increase mankinde Phil. Certainly they 'r good for something else Adr. Yes to set debate 'twixt the dearest friends To ruine husbands in their states and honours Nay Kingdomes Empires in a word for certain As they bring men into the world so certain Do they ruine all our joyes Phil. You speak from malice friend I fear not from judgment For you must give your opinion the lie when you consider That our Prince that governs us had a mother Who whilst she lived did govern him Adr. It works She was a Queen ordained by heaven and so Indeed that she partaks none of her sexe's Ill nor weaknesses Name another Phil. Shee 's easily seen did not your malice blind you The Princesse Aurelia Adr. As shee 's a part of her divine Mother I grant her excellent But that laid by shee 's but a woman Phil. But a woman would you have her a monster would yee Adr. I must close with him I am satisfied How his blood stirs at naming her Sir I 'le admit those two to have some worth Phil. You had a mother Sir and you have now a sister Most perfect as I hear will you bar them From all that 's worthy Enter a Servant Ser. The Duke calls for you he thinks your Lordships well On your journey by this time Phil. Pray let him know no other Adr. Dear friend your pardon Exe Adr. Ser. Phil. I do not like this carriage of Adrastus He makes a greater shew of love to me Then usuall pretending a strange hatred Against the nobler sex of women noble because Dearest Aurelia's one How blest am I Though I dare onely whisper to my selfe I am beloved by her My plot was prosperous shee one of my best assistants To whose dear care I owe my happinesse For by thy means I did receive the first hope That I was beloved above what she made shew of Enter Miranthe Mir. And from me you must receive assurance of the contrary Phil. Ha! that Aurelia loves me not Mir. Shee 's so far from loving you now that she Doth hate her selfe that e're she did Phil. Oh! I am wretched from what a pitch of happinesse Thou hast thrown me in an instant 't was unkindly done yet So soon to let me see thou hast abused me By thy flatteries in this thou hast disturbed More then inform'd my judgment Mr. How Phil. For what care I for knowledge of that truth That brings a certain ruine Mir. She did love you and may again crosses in love are ordinary Phil. Shee 'l hear me speak that I may know the cause At least of her displeasure Mir. I know she will not her heart 's so swoln with some offences Phil. I have no other comfort left me but my innocence Each accident doth crosse me Tomorrow I must Leave the Court to wait upon the Prince How shall I get an opportunity to speak to her The losse of time will ruine me I must By Letters make her know my innocence Mir. When you are gone if I can learn the cause Of her displeasure I 'le write Phil. Thou art all my comfort Exeunt Enter Lucinda and Linda Luc. See Linda what I found too in my Cabinet Looking indeed for one of my dear brother Kinde Adrastus Letters Lind. Believe me Madam the language of this Letter Considering the sweetnesse of the youth that sent it Would have moved pitty if not procured love From any other but your cruell selfe Luc. Alas good wench I see thou hast a tender heart In truth I would it had been writ to thee Lind. Well Madam you think none worthy but your brother Adrastus Luc. I do indeed believe so who equalls him in worth And till I finde one something neer him I shall not Think of Marriage I assure thee for my beauty Which gives place to none will not permit me To accept a servant that is not equall to the best deserver Lind. Madam though naturall affection stop your ears Against all reports that do not sound Adrastus praise Yet I by others hear Philanthus and the young Prince In all respects far prais'd above him Luc. Philanthus Lin Why Madam speak you with so much scorn hee 's now Accounted the glory of the Court a man fram'd Both for Love and Armes Luc. Pish Lind. You never saw him Luc. Nor nere desire Lind. Well Madam you are strangely averse take heed Love do not lay some punishment upon you Equall to your contempt of his great deity Luc. Contempt of his great deity had he a temple Standing near dedicated to him and to his Mother both I would go in and yerk his little worship Or should she say I were not fairer then her selfe And more to be adored I 'de break her Statue And those whom by my beauty are captive made Should in th' stead of it erect my Picture frowning too That any should presume to love me yet in those Clouds more powerfull to draw mens hearts to my devotion Florish Then she with all her wanton blandishments Exeunt Enter Duke Adrastus Aurelia Courtiers and Servant Duk. Daughter me thinks you 'r sad is' t for your Brothers absence hee 's now upon return Aur. I am not sad Sir 't is but your conjecture Duk. Adrastus are there no sports no pleasures to delight her Floris• Adr. None Sir the Court is clouded in the absenc• of the Prince Duk. What means this Trumpet one go see Serv. A stranger Knight Sir one that desires to be admitted to your presence Enter Herald Duk. Wee 'l hear what he demands What would yee Her Great Duke know that this Knight is hither come To repair himselfe by Armes of an injury He hath received nor can he fear so just a Prince As your selfe will break an honourable custom That hath been so long us'd amongst your Ancestours Duk. It cannot nor it shall not be refus'd Her Is Adrastus in this company Adr. Yes I am the man Her Then Sir my Master will maintain with his life That you have belyed a Knight equall to your selfe In merit in whose behalfe hee 's come to prove That you have wickedly invented that Which you have said of him Adr. Though I do not know your Master which might excuse A man of my birth yet confident in mine owne innocence As having wronged no man I do accept the Combat Get me my Armour nor shall it longer be deferr'd There cannot be more noble witnesse Duk. Adrastus I prise you too much to suffer it Adr. How Sir then may my arms rot off if ever I Lift them in your service and yet my heart Misgives me in this occasion more Then ever Push is' t not before divinest Aurelia I shall do wonders Exit Aur. What can this stranger be or what can Be the wrong he now seekes right of from Adrastus Whose valour makes him famous through the world Enter young Gudgen and his man Y. G. Save your refulgent grace
dead How ere this act will please him much Lu. Not dead this may be malice then if it be known I 'le Justifie the Act if not the thanks and recompence Be you from him I le send and know the truth of all Lin Oh Maddam I never thought you could have done a wickednesse like this The wounds which you have given will strike Your own soul deep one day Lin Oh fool the wounds I have received are far more dangerous Then those that I have given Lin Maddam your own hand 's cutt Luc. 'T is so all the blood thou seest came only from thence Let me with better leasure looke on what I have preserv'd His travell makes him sleep sound Lin Madam how blest were you to change your cruel resolution Some Angell prompted you to save him from those Murderers by seeming as if you did your selfe intend to be one Luc. There was no other way but the good angell That prompted me was Love 't was strange I should Be taken by a sleeping man that have from all eyes That have seen me almost banished sleep To think upon my beauty which must be now My part for him for I have lost my selfe By saving him since I am sister to his enemy Yet he may love like me when he intends revenge But shall I be so lovely when I sleep and he behold Some stand ready to murder me so making Pitty usher love into his heart as into mine For all waies else have been before attempted To make me amorous none prevailed Oh no It cannot be he stirrs away I must do something What I cannot tell Who loves and dares not say he lives in hell Exeunt Enter Aurelia and Miranthe Aur. Miranthe have you known valour and so little courtesie meet in the person of one man so fully As in this Knight that overcame Adrastus Mir. Madam his valour did appear to all But wherein he behaved himselfe discourteously I am yet to learn Aur. What Knight but he would have refused to stay Their Combat when I a Princesse Not to be contemn'd besought him Mir. Oh Madam how unjust you are since you accuse him In that wherein you ought to thank him You saw when through your fear you fell he turn'd To take you up by which he did receive A wound I feat too mortall by that most base Adrastus and if he had given o're the Combat Afterward when you desired his enterprise Had been most vain from the beginning Adrastus had not then confest that you or any Might have heard the lies he had invented But Philanthus is most unfortunate to have His best deservings still misinterpreted Aur. How was 't Philanthus that fought me thought indeed The voice was his but he being thought so far off Kept me from being certain Mir. It scap'd my tongue before I was aware Now I must make it good Yes Madam it was Philanthus To whom I did give notice in a Letter How much Adrastus injured you and him By saying Philanthus boasted of the great love You bare him in every place and that you partly did Believe he spake but truth which was the cause Of your displeasure Aur. Is' t then Philanthus hath done me this displeasure Durst he put my honour on the hazzard of fortune Durst he capitulate and make conditions When I did beg Adrastus life am I so miserable That I was gladder to receive then he to give What I did ask Mir. Oh poor Philanthus how happy art thou if the wound Thou didst receave helping her up have freed Thee from those greater torments which her cruelty Prepares in recompence of all thy faithfull services But Madam when I think on 't did not you say He was to right himselfe with his sword if he knew No other remedy and with more secrecy or more Discretion it was to bar the action all Thinking Philanthus to be far hence Even when he drew their eyes to wonder at his valour Aur. Peace no more of him you praise him without cause Mir. Without cause When as his death caus'd by your cruelty More then his wounds shall make the world know 'T was he that overcame Adrastus and for your sake As well as for his own How will the vertuous People tax you of your great injustice Aur. I must confesse I should be very sorry his death Should give the world a knowledge of my follies Mir. Be not you cruell to him and prevent it Aur. Nay let him love himself and save me a labour Mir. Madam he cannot love that which he thinks you hate Aur. Hee 's neither worthy of my hate nor love Mir. Madam 't is impossible there should be that indifferency Towards Philanthes whom you must either love Or hate extreamly Enter Agenor Aur. Well then I do not hate him my brother upon your life Let him not know that I do know the stranger was Philanthus Miranthe seek not to excuse him hee 's a most Discourteous Knight and I do hate him deadly Age Who 's that shee speaks of Mir. The stranger-Knight Age Believe me fister you had no reason Aur. Well Sir I know mine own reasons best Age But sister when you hear mine which are stronger You 'l be of another minde Aur. You may as soon perswade the fixed Starrs To move as me from my opinion 'T was sure Some inchantment that overcame Adrastus Age Then you 'l abandon reason quite this truely showes You women think your foes your friends your friends your foes Exeunt Enter Philanthus and Lucinda's Servants Phil. Villains for what respect is' t that you do preserve Me longer to torment me why did you not rather Kill me when you found me sleeping first Ser. 'T was not in our commission you are reserved to feel A thousand torments to which death is a pleasure Phil. From what person living have I deserved such usage Ser. I 'le let you know your misery the more to torment you Know that we are servants to a Lady the most malitious And deformed that ever lived so great An enemy to vertue that 't is her onely study To destroy those men in whom it doth inhabit Her vigilancy for mischiefe is ever busie It seemes she hath found you out to wreak her spight upon Intending here to keep you ever except she shall Prove mercifull and kill you Phil. If her hate to me onely proceed from a beliefe That I am vertuous it seems she knowes me not I am not such But if thou beest a gentle villain Tell me where I am Ser. Far from the house in which we found you sleeding And now in the most loathed Prison that ever eyes Beheld if eyes can be of use in so much darknesse Your chiefest companions must be Toads Snakes And Froggs except two villains sometimes as now ready stand To inflict torments that cannot be exprest Phil.

If Philanthus conceal from Agenor What I enjoyn'd he loves me more then him Which I shall much rejoyce in Age Is this your friendship Exeunt manet Phil. Age Phil. Do not accuse me where I am not guilty The secret is not mine that 's trusted by another to me And when it does concern them more then me Yet so much I am touched that I do burst With a desire to tell you Age Why do you not Phil. She bound me by an oath to the contrary most cunningly For else she knew I would have told it you Age Philanthus I see she hath wholly won you from me And I am glad you need not use my friendship further Which of you two to accuse of most unkindnesse I know not well For me I should not have entertain'd The knowledge of a secret on a condition so prejudiciall To our friendship Phil. 'T were great injustice in you if 't should A perjur'd man would ill become your friendship Age You tell it to no man in telling me Phil. Had not her tongue her action did enjoyn me to keep it from your Knowledge of all men you saw she did desire your absence Age Perhaps she fear'd to speak before me that which yet she would Be well content that I should know from you Phil. If I have friendship the knowledge of it if you love me Would more afflict you than my denyalls does Age Such an excuse does worst of all farewell Phil.

I do not love your sister Age How Phil. No otherwise then as she is your sister Age This makes me more suspect your friendship Phil. Why should you think I love her since she hates me And laies plots to deprive me of your friendship Which by the gods I prise above what happinesse Women can bring me Age This protestation makes me think you do not love indeed Phil. Be not mistaken I do love Age Whom Phil. Remember my past fortune with the beautious Lady Of the Castle and you will finde that I have cause To be a Lover if only out of gratitude Your sister's cruelty hath made my reason Once more Master of my will and being so I cannot chuse but see my former folly In hoping to enjoy so absolute a creature As Aurelia is whom heaven ordaines For one of greater merits the gods had been Indeed unjust to make unworthy me the centre Where so much worthy loves should meet the least Of which is sure to make the best deserver happy Age Philanthus my friendship 's of that nature that it does Glew me unto your designes and since I see My sister hath given over to deserve your love I must confesse I think you could not place it with more reason Than on this Lady 'T is true that I would have thee still a Lover Like my selfe for so

His ghost appeared to me in dead of night And cruelly commanded me thus to present my self Before his Tomb a gift unto the Prince Agenor From his dead friend Age How do you mock me Luc. Which though unwillingly I here perform Much more to satisfie my promise to his ghost Than to requite your love and yet noble Sorrow may be accounted merit Age Strange ghost Adr. How Age Madam till now my thoughts were in the grave with Philanthus His spirit it seemes knowing my hearty sorrow and repentance Labour'd to make me happy in your love And I receive you with a joy above What any tongue is able to expresse Adr.
