Have I not sav'd thee from sudden death Given thee leave to live that thou mightest love And dost thou whet me on to crueltie Come kiss me sweet for all my favours past Ama.

You may for who but you Bre. When thou art up the wood-lanes shall be strewed With violets Cowslips and sweet Marigolds For thee to trample and to tread upon And I will teach thee how to kill the Dear To chase the Hart and how to rouze the Roe If thou wilt live to love and honour me Ama. You may for who but you Enter Mucedorus Bremo Welcome sir an hour ago I lookt for such a guest Be merry wench wee l have a frolick feast Here 's flesh enough for to suffice us both Say sirrah wilt thou fight or dost thou mean to die Muce.

Speak on but be not over-long Muce. In time of yore when men-like bruitish beasts Did lead their lives in loathsome Cells and Woods And wholy gave themselves to witless will A rude unruly rout then man to man became A present prey then might prevailed The weakest went to wals Right was unknown for wrong was all in all As men thus lived in their great outrage Behold one Orpheus came as Poets tell And them from rudeness unto reason brought Who led by reason soon forsook the woods In stead of Caves they built them Castles strong Cities and Towns were founded by them then Glad were they they found such ease And in the end they grew to perfect Amitie Weighing their former wickedness They tearm'd the time wherein they lived then A golden age a good golden age New Bremo for so heard I thee call'd If men which lived tofore as thou dost now Wild in woods addicted all to spoil Returned were by worthy Orpheus means Let me like Orpheus cause thee to return From murther blood-shed and like cruelties What should we fight before we have a cause No le ts live and love together faithfully I le fight for thee Bre. Fight for me or die or fight or else thou diest Ama. Hold Bremo hold Bre. Away I say thou troublest me Ama. You promised me to make me Queen Bre. I did I mean no less Ama. You promised that I should have my will Bre. I did I mean no less Ama. Then save the Hermites life for he may save us both Bre. At thy request I le save him but never any after him Say Hermite what canst thou do
