brood Shall brooke his foe for to vsurpe his seate Hee le die the death with honour in the field And so his life and sorrowes briefly end But did I know my froward fate were such As I should faile in this my iust attempt This sword deare father should the Author be To make an end of this my Tragedie Therefore sweet sire remaine you here a while And let me walke my Fortune for to trie I do not doubt but ere the time be long I le quite his cost or else my selfe will die Cari. My noble sonne since that thy mind is such For to reuenge thy fathers foule abuse As that my words may not a whit preuaile To stay thy iourney go with happie fate And soone returne vnto thy fathers Cell With such a traine as Iulius Cesar came To noble Rome when as he had atchiu'd The mightie Monarch of the triple world Meane time Carinus in this sillie groue Will spend his daies with praier and horizons To mightie Ioue to further thine intent Farewell deare sonne Alphonsus fare you well Exit Alphon. And is he gone then hie Alphonsus hie To trie thy fortune where thy fates do call A noble mind disdaines to hide his head And let his foes triumph in his ouerthrow Enter Albinius Alphonsus makes as though thou goest out Albinius Albi. What loytring follow haue we spied here Presume not villaine further her for to go Vnles you do at length the same repent Alphonsus comes towards Albinius Alphon. Villain saist thou nay vilain in thy throat What knowst thou skipnick whom thou vilain calst Albi. A common vassall I do villaine call Alphon. That shalt thou soone approoue perswade thy self Or else I le die or thou shalt die for me Albi. What do I dreame or do my dazeling eies Deceiue me I st Alphonsus that I see Doth now Medea vse her wonted charmes For to delude Albinius fantasie Or doth black Pluto king of darke Auerne Seeke to flout me with his counterfait His bodie like to Alphonsus framed is His face resembles much Alphonsus hewe His noble mind declares him for no les T is he indeed wo worth Albinius Whose babling tong hath causde his owne annoy Why doth not Ioue send from the glittring skies His Thunder bolts to chastice this offence Why doth dame Terra cease with greedie iawes To swallow vp Albinius presently What shall I flie and hide my trayterous head From stout Alphonsus whom I so misusde Or shall I yield Tush yeelding is in vaine Nor can I flie but he will follow me Then cast thy selfe downe at his graces feete Confesse thy fault and readie make thy brest To entertaine thy well deserued death Albinius kneels downe Alph. What newes my friend why are you so blanke That earst before did vaunt it to the skies Albi. Pardon deare Lord Albinius pardon craues For this offence which by the heauen I vowe Vnwittingly I did vnto your grace For had I knowne Alphonsus had bene here Ere that my tongue had spoke so trayterously This hand should make my very soule to die Alphon. Rise vp my friend thy pardon soon is got But prithi tell me what the cause might be That in such sort thou erst vpbraidedst me Albinius ryses vp Haue compassed the circle of the skie I le clog their toongs since nothing else will serue To keep those vilde and threatning speeches in Farwell Belinus loke thou to thy selfe Alphonsus meanes to haue thy Crowne ere night Exit Alphonsus Beli. What is he gone the diuel break his necke The fiends of hell torment his traiterous corpes Is this the quittance of Belinus grace Which he did shewe vnto that thankles wretch That runnagate that rachell yea that theefe For well I wot he hath robd me of a Crowne If euer he had sprung from gentle blood He would not thus misuse his fauourer Albi. That runnagate that rachel yea that theef Stay their sir King your mouth runnes ouer much It ill becomes the subiect for to vse Such trayterous termes against his soueraigne Know thou Belinus that Carinus sonne Is neither rachel nor runnagate But be thou sure that ere the darksome night Do driue God Phaebus to his Thetis lap Both thou and all the rest of this thy traine Shall well repent the words which you haue saine Beli. What traiterous villain dost thou threaten me Lay hold on him and see he do not scape I le teach the slaue to know to whom he speakes To thee I speake and to thy fellowes all And though as now you haue me in your power Yet doubt I not but that in litle space These eyes shall see thy treason recompenst And then I meane to vaunt of our victorie Beli. Nay proud Albinius neuer build on that For though the Gods do chance for to appoynt Alphonsus victor of Belinus land Yet shalt thou neuer liue to see that day And therefore Fabius stand not lingring But presently slash off his trayterous head Albi. Slash off his head as though Albinius head Were then so easie to be slashed off In faith sir no when you are gone and dead I hope to flourish like the pleasant spring Beli. Why how now Fabius what do you stand in doubt To do the deed what feare you who dares seeke For to reuenge his death on thee againe Since that Belinus did commaund it so Or are you waxt so daintie that you dare Not vse your sword for staining of your hands If it be so then let me see thy sword And I will be his butcher for this time Fabius giue Belinus thy sword drawne Belinus say as followeth Now sir Albinius are you of the minde That erst you were what do you looke to see And triumph in Belinus ouerthrow I hope the very sight of this my blade Hath chaungde your minde into an other tune Albi. Not so Belinus I am constant still My minde is like to the Abeston stone Which if it once be heat in flames of fire Deineth to becommen colde againe Euen so am I and shall be till I die And though I should see Attropos appeare With knife in hand to slit my threed in twaine Yet nere Albinius should perswaded be But that Belinus he should vanquisht see Beli. Nay then Albinius since that words are vaine For to perswade you from this heresie The sword shall sure put you out of doubt Belinus offers to strike off Albinius head strike vp alarum ener Alphonsus and his men flie Belinus and Fabius follow Alphonsus and Albinius Enter Laelius Milos and his seruants Laeli. My noble Lords of Aragon I know You wonder much what might the occasion be That Laelius which earst did flie the field Doth egge you forwards now vnto the warres But when you heare my reason out of doubt Yow le be content with this my rash attempt When first our King Flaminius I do meane Did set vpon the Neapolitans The worst of you did know and plainly see How farre they were vnable to withstand The mightie forces
