A conscience full of horror and black deedes Natures externall superfluities Her white and red Earth rubbidg drosse and oare VVhich she but lent thee to keepe Marts withall Thou hast converted to most grosse abuses Thou wouldst not else have scorn'd my poore boys love To match with wealthy German see thy fruits Thy bazes and foundations now are suncke And looke there lyes the ruines of thy workes Bo. Oh misery my hart-strings cracke with griefe Yet will not burst oh say hast thou yet done Ba. Noe I will make thee sensible of thy ils First thou art causer of thy daughters death For thou enforc'd her to the breach of faith Next my sonns ruin whom parac'd like Thou laugd'st at in his fatall tragedy VVhom but a villaine that abjures all lawes That breakes all precepts both of heave'ns and mans And natures too could have done this should I Like one that dares affront divinity Laugh at thy daughters fall Bo. Hast thou done yet I doe beseech thee for this infants sake VVhich sets a smiling brow on miseries And even by instinct prayes thee to forgive Commiserate my woes it greives me now I did deri'd thy miseries be but content I 'le weepe till thou shalt say it is enough So that we may be friends Ba. I cannot chuse But beare a burden in calamities Our angers have like tapers spent themselves And onely lighted others and not us Striving like great men for supremacy VVe have confounded one anothers goodnes Come we will be freinds I 'le dig a soleme cell VVhich shall be hung with sables round about VVhere we will sit and write the tragedy Of our poore children I 'le ha' it so set downe As not one eye that vewes it but shall weepe Nor any eare but sadly shall relent For never was a story of more ruth Then this of him and her yet nought but truth Exeunt Omnes Actus Quintus Scena Prima Enter Arguile Clifton Monlucke Jo.
