That decks the plaines will smile when we do fit On its greene tapistry and aptly fit Our wilde affections Shepherdesses let Our woolly charge within our folds be set Lest the hoarse Wolfe to sate his ravenous thirst With blood of Lambes doe through our weak flocks burst After let 's meet upon the neighbouring plaine And there determine of our loves I 'le straine A little on your patience to rehearse On the late Nuptials this ensuing verse Amint. Doe my deare Sapho Flor. Shepherds attend her Layes Amint. They get us credit and our Sapho Bayes Sapho The holy Priest had joy'd their hands and now Night grew propitious to their Bridall vow Majestick Iuno and young Hymen flies To light their Pines at faire Parthenia's eyes The little Graces amourously did skip With the small Cupids from each lip to lip Venus her selfe was present and untide Her virgine Love when loe on either side Stood as her handmaids Chastity and Truth With that immaculate guider of her youth Rose-colour'd Modesty These did undresse The beauteous maid who now in readinesse The Nuptiall tapers waving 'bout her head Made poore her garments and enrich'd her bed While the fresh Bridegroome like the lusty Spring Did to the holy bride-bed with him bring Attending masculine vertues down he lay'd His snowy limbs by a far whiter mayd Their kisses linke their minds as they embrace A quire of Angels flew about the place Singing all blisse unto this paire for ever May they in love and union still persever Amin. 'T is almost sung for the nuptialls Why was 't not sung with musick Saph Castalia's voyce would have been tir'd with it Come let 's depart Love though obscur'd still flames about the heart Exeunt Enter Amphialus Argalus Philarchus Amph. I could have wish'd the King Had destin'd any to this fatall task But noble Argalus in him there rests Such a commanding fulnesse of true worth That as 't will be a glory to o'recome 'T will be a griefe equall to think 'gainst whom The present fury of my arme must be Unwillingly directed Arg. Famous Amphialus 'T is so much honour to be held your friend 'T were indiscretion in me to admit A thought of being your enemy we two Should meet my Lord to revell not to fight But since th' injustice of our Fates does force This sad contention deare Amphialus Think that two brothers may with hot resolve Strive to atchieve one crowne yet still be friends The lawrell destin'd for my head will wither If it be snatch'd from thine Amph. More famous Argalus Under whose hand the great Demais fell These attributes of curtesie doe speake Your noble natures freenesse you and I Should rather exercise our able armes In one anothers quarrell than imploy them Upon our selves Deare Argalus our fates Are too in just t' ingage our swords against Our bodies for in harming thee I offer Wounds to my selfe we two retaine so much Affinity by friendship we must needs be One individuall substance Phi. Good my Lords Since there 's that sympathie of love and nature 'Twixt your two soules dissolve it not the blow That shall divide your hearts will be more impious In sep'rating that union than in cutting Your twists of life asunder Arga. Philarchus you are so noble Our wills desir'd you an indifferent Judge In our unwilling difference since you are An equall friend to both Amph. Philarchus We two are fortunes scorne that we should be Such friends in soule yet by our deeds be thought Severest enemies Deare Argalus Let not thy lenity regard my life Which is so worth lesse 't is a weight I wish Rather to lose than keepe but guard thy owne Preserve that precious bloud which I shall grieve To see diffus'd on earth nay rather weepe Than shed a drop of it Arg. How much my Lord you vanquish him with curtesie Whom your arme means to conquer But Amphialus Since we are mutuall friends and yet must seeme Mutually enemies to testifie 'T is by our fate not malice we are foes I 'le make thee my full Executour bestow A gift upon thee of that pricelesse worth Posterity shall never boast its parallell When I am ashes if there be a wretch For some there are that dare blaspheme the Gods Does injure my Parthenia prithee friend Let be thy Care to punish that contempt 'Gainst vertuous purity and as the last And most supreme inducement of my love If by thy hand I perish let my heart Be sent to my Parthenia Amph. The same justice I beg of thee my Argalus to have mine Convay'd to my Philoclea and if fame As it may chance traduce me after death Noblest Argalus justifie thy friend Thy poore Amphialus and defend the deare Authour of my misfortune sweet Philoclea otherwise Posterity inform'd by bad report May black her precious memory and say A worthlesse man fell by thy sword Let us embrace my Argalus and take A true though sad farewell and once Let us employ our hands against our hearts Arg. Kill our selves mutually for who first does fall Leads but the way toth ' others funerall Fight Enter Parthenia Parth. Eternall darknesse seaze me O my Lord You are reported to be thrall to love for her sake you affect most doe not make A breach in ebbing nature More This bloud Clothing the grasse in purple does convert My heart to Alablaster O Argalus Arg. O Parthenia Never till now unwelcome have I liv'd To such an abject lownesse that my life Must like a malefactors be by prayers Redeem'd from death Let us renew the fight Ha Me thinks I tread on slippery glasse my unsupporting feet Dance measures on light waves and I am sinking Into the watery bosomes there to rest for all eternity Amph. I have seene So dying tapers as it were to light Their owne sad funerall expiring dart Being but stirr'd their most illustrious beames And so extinguish Parth. Angels if ye have charity afford Some Surgery from heaven Now I see the cause Why my sad heart fill'd with propheticke feare Sought to have stopt your journey and why I Compell'd by power of overruling Fate Follow'd you hither Oh Argalus Arga. Parthenia I doe feele A marble sweat about my heart which does Congeale the remnant of my bloud to Ice My Lord I doe forgive you friend farewell Parthenia showre on my pale lips a kisse 'T will waft my soule to its eternall blisse Parthenia O Parthenia Dies Phi. So cracks the cordage of his heart as Cables That guide the heavie Anchors cut by blasts Of some big tempest My Lord your wounds are many And dangerous 't is fit you doe withdraw And have 'm cur'd Amph. I am carelesse growne my life Is now more odious to me than the light Of day to Furies Madam I am past The thought of griefe for this sad fact and am Griefes individuall substance pray forgive me Heaven knowes it was not malice that betray'd Your Lords lov'd life but a necessitous force To save my owne Joy comfort

Thou art in part reveng'd and if mine owne Death doe succeed his I shall goe in peace to my eternity Demag. Sure great Mars Has put on armes against me in this shape For 't is impossible mortality could Atchieve Demagoras conquest Farewell light 'T is fit the world should weare eternall night Dies Arg. I hate to triumph O're his loath'd carcasse which should be a prey To Wolves and Harpyes O Parthenia Here lies the Fatall Cause of all our mischiefes And sure no soule will at his death repine Revenge when just 's not humane but Divine Ent. Serv. Serv. Where have you left my Lord Arg. There lies your Lord Exit Arg. Serv. Dead Curst Fate that so much greatnesse Should suffer this great overthrow and fall From such a height to a sad funerall Exit Amphialus and Philarchus Amphi. 'T is such a cruelty as no report Though it discourse of rapes and timelesse deaths Has ever equall'd Phi. The successe will speake The wonder more prodigious The poore Lady Still lovely in her sorrow after this sad rape Of her rare beauty privately stole thence And with that strictnesse has obscur'd her selfe That though inquest though many indeavour'd In her desir'd search can attain the least Discovery of her present being Amph. How beares Argalus this sad disaster Philar. As a man Whose noble courage 'bove the crosse of Fate Seemes patient at his misery Amph. He and I Are both made up of sorrow our full griefes Might like two swelling Oceans when they meet In a contracted channell aptly combat For rough priority Philoclea My glorious Cousin will by no intreats No services yet be induc'd to love That I was forc'd against the naturall zeale I beare the King my Uncle to transgresse Such is the power of my fancy the strictnesse Of my obedience captivating her By force to whom by a most free consent My soule before was prisoner Phi. I could wish noble Amphialus that your desires Might both atchieve forgivenesse and successe I 'm none of those strict Statesmen though I love My King that hate your vertues for this fact Because I know the greatnesse of your spirit Attempted it not for inveterate hate Or for ambition but to gaine her love Amphi. Philocleas love upon whose meanest thought The Art of Memorie 's grounded and inspires Each organ of our meditating sense With their perfections merit Phi. But my Lord How brooks the king the bold detention Of his faire daughters Sure he will invert Some sudden forces on you and compell Their back-deliverie Amp. He shall first inforce Mortality into nothing I did send To avoid effusion of more humane bloud This faire defiance that he should elect A Champion daring singly to oppose Me in a combat and if Fate decreed My fall by him security for the freedome Of his imprison'd daughters Phi. Did his Grace accept the noble offer Amp. With a freedome Fitting a King but who the person is That hopes to gaine a Trophee by my death Fame has not yet divulg'd This urgent businesse Hinders my visit of my Lord Argalus Present my true hearts service to him tell him I Doe inwardly dissolve into a dew Of bleeding passion for his losse and would To re-invest blest quiet in his heart Act o're the Scene of dangers I have pass'd Since I knew earliest manhood so your Lordship Will please to pardon my rude haste I must As to my friends to my owne affaires be just Exeunt Enter Clitophon Strephon Alexis Clito. Perswade me not to this there is no woman Worthy my love they are all too falsly common To every Suiter Alex. Why Clitophon say you so who are blest With her society whom I love best Yet in her presence I 'm forbid to move My suit nay dare not name the name of love Stre. 'T is your own flat foolery Alexis you should with garbe and gesture pastorall with as much scorne as you would o'returne your enemy at football contemne the force of woman Why Women are shadows fly away When follow'd or desir'd to stay But if you slight them they will sue Follow intreat nay flie to you But if stiffe and strong you stand You may tread them at command But lie downe the pretty Elves Will straight fall under you of themselves Like my Spaniell beaten they Will lick your lips and with you play This is the reason why They love me so doggedly You might by my example edifie And live in peace Alexis Alex. Why Strephon you usurpe without a cause The priviledge of their love your carriage drawes Their laughter not affection you appeare To them for sport not for your person deare Streph. Ther 's your foolery still thou hast commerc'd it seemes with none but thine owne sheepe and art farre sillier than they your woman is the greatest dissembler in the world and where they toy and jeere they most affect Finally women are slippery as at their tayles are Eeles Their mindes as light as are their heeles And every one's for what she feeles And so with my opinion farewell Clito. Stay honest Strephon I did late compose verses in hatred of them Stre. They are not prose pray read them Clito. Who would trust a woman when They 'r the onely curse of men Syrens sing but to intice They men to a fools paradise Hyaena's speak 't is to betray To certaine ruine so doe they Crocodiles shed teares of slaughter Women weepe when they meane laughter Inconstant cruell falfe unkinde Are attributes that suit their minde Stre. Now as I am true Arcadian thou would'st be whipt for this Cupid shall cite thee into his Court for this by some of his villanous Apparators where his wide conscienc'd Proctors and their Clerks shall with their pen and inkhornes beat thy braines out if thou scap'st that Ladies shall beat thee to death with their Monkies you jack-a-napes chambermaids shall worry thee to death with kisses than which there can be no greater tyranny then the very Cooke and Milkmaids shall in scolding prose baste thee into a jelly or charme thee into May-butter you shall answer this I 'le peach I 'le play the Informer Clito. I 'le not recant it not deny this truth Alexis you shall heare it justified Exeunt Enter Kalander Argalus and Philarchus Kalan. Where met you Lord Amphialus Phi. In the grove 'twixt Mantinea and his Castle while Our servants led our horses down the hill We did exchange some accents in discourse The noble youth as hopefull of successe In his designe as brave in his resolve But the great rumour'd warfare 'twixt the King And him 's converted to a single fight Betwixt Amphialus and what champion The King will venter to ingage in such A cause of weighty consequence Kalan. I 'm glad Arcadia long blest in a happy peace Shall by the letting of so few veines bloud Continue in her quiet it was fear'd This sad domestick quarrell would have cost More lives than might with justice have beene spar'd But 't is not
