I could not otherwise chuse Mistris though Your distrust of my unfayn'd affection Kept me thus long from injoying what I Most desir'd in a noble way but come Vrg'd by that love that ever shall remaine With me wheresoe'r I goe to tender The duty of a servant in taking leave Of you before my suddaine departure Mar. It 's indeed too suddaine and I doe now Repent the not imbracing what I was not Enough good to accept your love For I confesse Though somewhat late I lov'd you more then you Did me and ever shall unlesse the fault Be onely yours in proving which I doe Not yet suspect a changling I shall for My part punish severely in my selfe Th' offence of not being yours by a continu'd Sadnesse and griefe till once agen I see you Hub. And though I have beene too much noted for My mirth which yet was never sawe'd with spite Or other bad condition I promise Por my misfortune in thus missing of you Not to laugh once unlesse against my will At some unlucky chance till I possesse The treasure I most covet Mar. That if you Meane me shall be yours when we meete next and Safely kept for you untill then I' th' meane time I shall charily preserve though but a poore Satisfaction for you your image in Th' interior of my minde Hub. Which overpay's With much advantage all my services Mar. 't was a strange resolution of the King To leave his Queene she being so much against it And he so strangely fond of her at first Which she deserv'd being a Lady the world Cannot match Hub. He is these thirtie houres in Denmarke Where if he prove unkinde to her that cannot In true judgement condemne others that like not Such proceeding Mar. He had neede be circumspect In what he do's or he may soone repent it And perchance When matters prove past remedy to him Yet while I find you sound no alien faults Shall make me hate what once I so affected Hub. Resting on that assurance I must now Crave the kind favour of a parting kisse Mar. That you shall have and halfe a dozen more When you come to your Ship For so farre I Will with you and wo'd along to Denmarke but to try If I may build upon your constancie Exeunt Enter Harold and Eric Har.

not To be apply'd to you sir that may command If pow'r and person can compell the best And fairest Lady i' th' world to be yours In a noble way and otherwise your vertue forbids it Rey. It does indeed forbid us what is vicious And seeing we doe not hope for life we must Crave your kinde pardon now to heare us tell Th' occasion of our sicknesse briefly thus You are the onely cause on 't Land How I my liege My knowledge sayes not so Rey. Your beautie vallor And all the perfections parted to others But in you conjoyn'd protest it and I For one can sweare it But being repell'd By a severely-awing rigor from your brow Yet sweet withall though killing and being told Of a sad purpose y' have never to marry We now are fall'n thus low beneath the Center Of deepe despaire and sorrow and desire You will say something eyther to hasten our death Or to recall it by a loving sentence Land I must take sometime then to deliberate Aside Rey. Being yours in that you may command us She goes aside the Ladies with her Land We expected no such entertaynment Elsin. My minde foretold me still of some disaster Scan. Notwithstanding your resolution Not to marry you have not vow'd against Obedience to a man in that friendly Yoake of Wedlocke The Kings sound affection Is not then to be rejected if you ever Take any Land If I doe he shall be the man Fatyma You must not study now long for some answer Elsin. He 's desperatly ill and if you sho'd Give him a flat deniall we might be All seazed on heere at Court and some villanie Committed on us being to defend our selves Too few by many Scan. They shall take our lives Ere we 'll endure to be defil'd Fatyma And with The losse of some of theirs Rey. Have you consider'd Yet of the doome y' are to pronounce Elsinora All stand Warily on their guard Land Your poore subjects sir Must rather expect in duty your commands Rey. Nay sweet Lady Doe not increase my torment By adding affliction to misery With a complement but something say that May appertaine to th' matter to rid me Quickely of my paine Land It 's sure I have not Although I ever meant it bound my selfe Unto a single life Rey. Then dearest Lady Consider who I am and what I now am Lodg'd thus for though I clayme you not as by desert Or dutie Yet being your Prince you owe me Some regard and all I e'r must glory in Shall be to make you Queene of what is ours Land May it please you Sir Rey. Pray you sit and speake Or I must rise if weakenesse will permit She sits and the rest stand Land Had I beene ambitious when you were not Crown'd King of Norway I could then perchance Have written Queene unto your prejudice But for that Frollo once intended foulely I that could not affect vice did refuse What he with earnestnesse and many Oathes Sought to confirme and was his bane at last Though I beleev'd that what he said he meant Now therefore Sir your affection grounded In way of honour without taint of basenesse With such exterior signes too of deepe love To me unworthy of so great a Prince I cannot nor will my heart permit it but In way of gratefulnesse reciprocally Requite with love againe as dutie binds Nay more then so But yet gracious Sir I that am meane and poore to be your Consort And that things of this kinde are oft repented Doe now beseech you to decline a while The vehemencie of your fleete desires And take full time to thinke on what you doe Were 't but to take a neerer view of me And that in all points For know sir the honour You now affoord me compar'd to th' infamie That would redound to both of us and to others By whom you are to be advis'd if ought Sho'd chance amisse when things were consumate Is nothing would but heighten your disgrace Your wise demurre too I shall take as full payment For all my services and rest devoted More deepely yours and evermore continue Your loyall subject onely sir Rey. I was sure Noblest and best of Ladies That your words Being such as now they are could not but worke A cure upon me See I can stand up Nay goe I 'll throw my Cap off too Some of you Give me a Hat I will walke with you forth Into the Gallery and tell you there I have consider'd so much what you are Though not to your full value this being Impossible that if you thinke me not Unworthy as indeed I am for you We shall soone be Man and Wife To morrow I 'll wayte on you further into the Garden Hub. And there in one of the little bawdy houses Aside Seale the Covenant if it be receiv'd Though he were sure to die in an houre after Elsin. I see she does affect him in good earnest Aside But wisedome bids be silent This poore kingdome Being already torne too much by tyrannie and troubles Things past our helpe with patience must be borne Untill a fit time Rey. Lady Elsinora Me thinkes you doe not signe our loving motion With a friendly countenance Elsin. I hope great Sir You will be pleased to entertayne farre better thoughts Of your humblest hand-mayd Rey. I hope we shall Land In licensing our departure for some small time Dayes five or sixe and for a private Cause You will for ever bind us sir to your commands And to returne with all convenient speed To obey your Highnesse pleasure in all points Rey. That ask'd agen would throw me on my Couch Never to rise Vald. Madame I sho'd make bold To stop your journey though the King were pleas'd To grant his licence for you I must say Somewhat roughly saluted my left eare With your right hand as these can witnesse for me Land For which you are resolv'd to challenge me But not to be your wife I gave you no Such promise Vald. I must have satisfaction Land You may declare what that is when you list Vald.

Speake Ladie doe you like the man He is As good a Gentleman as We are Say Will you have him Scan. You make me blush sir to aske Me such a question Vald. Nay then it 's granted Scan. I will not grant at first nor shall you say Hereafter I deceiv'd you Fat You deceive Your selfe Well Madame I perceive we
