boy as brave as Greece e'r hatcht or Rome or Troy Enter Isaack Here 's Isaack Bassa hee 's already mine he courts my father but intends for mee and furthers all my counsells Noble friend how stand our hopes Isaack Great Sir most happily the Bassaes murmure at Achmetes wrong seize on their wavering love their breasts are ope to him that first will enter ther 's free scope drop dowre thy franke affection in their hands to bribe is lawfull and 't is strongly prov'd by good examples Otho ne'r was lov'd till he had bought the souldiers that once done Galba grew out of fashion so must wee addict them to us by a gaine-full fee Give freely and speak fairely I 'le be gone stay here the Bassaes will be here anon Exit Enter Mesithes Sely. I shall observe thy precepts Mesithes welcome How fare you in these dayes of discontent my dutie bids me aske and wish you well I have beene long a barren debtor to you At length I may prove thankfull weare my love 't is yours without refusal a sleight gift gives him a ring aside Yet your lookes tel me 't will helpe out my drift Mesi This courtesie exceeds my weake deserts sweet Prince but when occasion calls me forth to helpe you I 'me devoted to your worth Sely. Your kind acceptance of that recompence Binds me more strictly to you Mesith Sir farewell Exit and enter Mustapha Sely. So one hath tooke see where another comes all health to Mustapha Musta Thankes gracious Prince your gentle pardon for my boldnesse Sir Sely. Command my pardon and commend my love to thy bright daughter tell her I admire her vertuous perfection let that chaine gives him a chaine make me remembred often in her mind Must When my weak strength or wealth shall stretch so far as to continue Sely. No Cynicke complement good Mustapha Musta Then I returne you thankes Exit Sely. Health follow you and Honour me Here is a third at hand Enter Asmehemides Selym. Continuance to your health Sir Asme Thanks gentle Prince Please you to use my service Sely. Yes thus farre Spend me that purse of gold gives him a purse Asme What means your Highness Selym. But to deserve your kindness and avoid the hated censure of ingratitude Asme This is your liberal vertue not my deeds but you shall find me thankfull Exit Selym. So I hope three steps are trod already to a Throne and I am rich in friends these proffer'd gifts conjure observance from their servile brests Oh powerfull gold whose influence doth win men with desire for to engender sin Isaak Bassa Isaak Even the man you wisht What did the golden lure work good effect and make the Bassaes stoop unto your mind Sely. Words are but empty shadows but if deeds answer their words we cannot doubt their faith they stoop beneath my feet I seem to be as true as Jove but slye as Mercurie Enter Mesithes Here comes Mesithes muttering back again but step aside and we shall know his mind Mesith But he is cruel bloody and his pride unsufferable great Selymus Ha! Mesithes Proud Bajazet Thou hast usurp'd a title thy descent could never reach unto thou wrongst the world since thou detain'st the Crown which heavens decree due to a better brow thou art defam'd with Tyranny and wrong but Selymus is void of blemishes as truth of lyes bad stocks must be cut down the good must rise Sely. He daunted me at first but now I find the golds bright lustre made his judgment blind Mustapha comes Enter Mustapha Musta. Fortune hath wheel'd me up above the stars under a Monarch I 'le not sell my hopes Bold Selymus I 'le second thy designs and thou shalt Queen my daughter that being done with mine own splendor I 'le eclipse the Sunne Sely. Is' t so a while I 'le feed thy airy hopes then dash thee into nothing Here 's a third Enter Asmehemides Asm A purse of gold I can untie the knot the close aenigma sayes I would be King Brave Selymus I like thy mounting thoughts work out thy projects thou canst never need or ask my help but thou art sure to speed Exit Sely. What we resolv'd stands firm but the event be scan'd when leisure serves wee 'l now prevent my brothers hopes and by a sudden fate unto their lives and dayes give equal date to compass a blest end now we begin Jove hath offended if it be a sin to throw a father down Saturn did dwell once in the heavens Jove threw him down to hell Enter Bajazet and Achmetes hand in hand Cherseogles Mesithes Mustapha Mahometes Achomates Trizham Mahomet Asmehemides Sely But stay Achmetes and our fathers friends Bajaz. Achmetes I have injur'd thy deserts subborn'd accusers wrong'd my credulous ears and my rash censure undervalued much thy noble spirits when it first condemn'd them of intended treason rense thy soul in the dull river of oblivion we halt beneath the burthen of thy hate thinke my mov'd anger made me hot and wild I cannot sleepe till we be reconcil'd Achm. The gods neglect my welfare here on earth and when I shall put off this mortall load let me be out-law'd from the Court of heaven if in this bosome there lye hid one thought that doth not honour Bajazet Baia. Wee know thy vertues make us happy valiant Sir thy feete once more must tread a warlike march under our fearefull banner thou shalt pace even to the walles of Rome there dwels our foe where our halfe Moone rear'd in the middle camp like a distempred Meteor in the ayre shall strike amazement in the cloistred monkes and shake the Prelates Miter from his head till he yeeld Zemes up alive or dead When we have mov'd thee from thy Janizaries thou shalt not travell farre aside Isaack A subtile tricke and well pretended I admire thy wit aside Achm. Let me march hence and Bajazet shall know how little I befriend my Princes foe I le cast a ring of souldiers round about The walles of Rome if Zemes scape thence out cut of my breath he that 's deepe in blame Must hazard boldly to regaine his fame Triz.
