thy absence T' will take vp too much time I would securely Ingrosse the little remnant of my life That thou might'st euery day be telling somewhat Which might conuay me to my rest with comfort Let me be me how we parted first Puzzles my faint remembrance But soft Cleophila thou toldst me that the Prince Sent me this present Cleo. From this own faire hands I did receiue my Sister Mel. To requite him we will not dig his Fathers graue anew Although the mention of him much concernes The businesse we inquire of as I said We parted in a hurry at the Court I to this Castle after made my layle But whither thou deare heart Rhet. Now they fall too 't I lookt for this Eroc. I by my Vncles care Sophronos my good Vncle suddenly was like a Saylers Boy conuey'd a shipboord that euery night Mel. A policie quicke and strange Eroc. The ship was bound for Corinth whither first Attended onely with your seruant Rhetias And all fit necessaries we arriu'd From thence in habit of a youth we iourney'd To Athens where till our returne of late Haue we liu'd safe Mel. Oh what a thing is man To bandy factions of distemp'red passions Against the sacred prouidence aboue him Here in the Legend of thy two yeeres exile Rare pity and delight are sweetly mixt And still thou wert a Boy Eroc. So I obey'd my Vncles wise command Mel. T was safely carried I humbly thanke thy Fate Eroc. If earthly treasures Are powr'd in plenty downe from Heau'n on mortals They reigne amongst those Oracles that flow In Scholes of sacred knowledge such is Athens Yet Athens was to me but a faire prison The thoughts of you my Sister Country Fortunes And something of the Prince barr'd all contents Which else might rauish sence for had not Rhetias Been alwaies comfortable to me certainely Things had gone worse Mel. Speake low Eroclea That something of the Prince beares danger in it Yet thou hast trauayl'd Wench for such Indowments As might create a Prince a wife fit for him Had he the World to guide but touch not there How cam'st thou home Rhet. Sir with your Noble sauour Kissing your hand first that point I can answer Mel. Honest right honest Rhetias Rhet. Your graue Brother Perceiu'd with what a hopelesse loue his sonne Lord Menaphon too eagerly pursu'd Thamasta Cousin to our present Prince And to remoue the violence of affection Sent him to Athens where for twelue moneths space Your daughter my young Lady and her Cousin Enioy'd each others griefes till by his Father The Lord Sophronos we were all call'd home Mel. Enough enough the world shall henceforth witnesse My thankfulnes to Heauen and those people Who haue been pitifull to me and mine Lend me a Looking-glasse How now How came I So courtly in fresh rayments Rhet. Here 's the Glasse Sir Mel. I 'm in the trim too O Cleophila This was the goodnesse of thy care and cunning Whence comes this noyse Loud Musicke Rhet. The Prince my Lord in person Enter Prince Sophronos Aretas Amethus Menaphon Thamasta Corax Kala Prince Ye shall not kneele to vs rise all I charge ye Father you wrong your age henceforth my armes And heart shall be your guard we haue o're-heard All passages of your vnited loues Be young againe Meleander liue to number An happy generation and dye old In comforts as in yeeres The Offices And Honours which I late on thee conferr'd Are not fantasticke bounties but thy merit Enioy them liberally Mel. My teares must thanke ye for my tongue cannot Cor. I haue kept my promise giuen you a sure cordial Mel. O a rare one Prince Good man wee both haue shar'd enough of sadnes Though thine ha's tasted deeper of th' extreme Let vs forget it henceforth Where 's the picture I sent yee Keepe it t is a counterfeit And in exchange of that I ceaze on this The reall substance with this other hand I giue away before her Fathers face His younger ioy Cleophila to thee Cousin Amethus take her and be to her More then a Father a deseruing husband Thus rob'd of both thy children in a minute Thy cares are taken off Mel. My braines are dull'd I am intranc'd and know not what you meane Great gracious Sir alas why do you mocke me I am a weake old man so poore and feeble That my vntoward ioynts can scarcely creepe Vnto the graue where I must seeke my rest Prince Eroclea was you know contracted mine Cleophila my Cousins by consent Of both their hearts We both now claime our owne It onely rests in you to giue a blessing For confirmation Rhetias Sir t is truth and iustice Mel. The gods that lent ye to me blesse your vowes O Children children pay your prayers to Heauen For they haue shew'd much mercy But Sophronos Thou art my Brother I can say no more A good good Brother Prince Leaue the rest to time Cousin Thamasta I must giue you too She 's thy wife Menaphon Rhetias for thee And Corax I haue more then common thanks On to the Temple there all solemne Rites Perform'd a generall Feast shall be proclaim'd The Louers Melancholy hath found cure Sorrowes are chang'd to Bride-songs So they thriue Whom Fate in spite of stormes hath kept aliue Exuent omnes FINIS Vide Famistradam lib. 2.
