Unsufferable impudence Ro. Antonio too suspects him and what honor You can maintain with the Prince what danger It may produce if this resented and Proclam'd beget a War upon your country For Treaties are the immunities of Kings Subjects adulterate the Prince's coyn Not without high injustice but he that Doth play the wanton with his royal promise Defaceth his own stamp and teacheth by His violation others not to trust him Enter Antonio and Manuel fighting Enter Lords Ki. Treason Man Be fearless Sir I am provok'd Beyond the sufferings of a Gentleman Ro. Where is the guard no mischief the result Of such a skirmish Ma. I was not made for servitude nor must I Have patience when the greatest man is in Spain Whose title cannot challenge my subjection Throws infamy upon me An. Do the Kings Of Spain allow this sawcy privilege Against a Prince Ki.

Away d' ee make a cypher of the King Manuel guarded off Ki. May we Entreat to know the circumstance An. I must Acknowledge Sir I had suspicion Of some attempts by him against my honor Which made me first provoke him Ki. Dare he hope To keep a thought unpunished Enter Piracquo Pi. Sir I met My Son by your command lead prisoner hence It will not unbecome your royall justice To let me know his crime I am no father To any sin he dares commit against Your Laws or person Ki. You came in good time Another guard for him Pi. A guard for what Ki. You shall know that hereafter An. I shall beseech my cause against Don Manuel May not involve his innocence my Lord Piracquo is full of honor 1. The Duke 's gone 2. Nay he is right at the wrong end of a cause still An. If they be crimes against your state I am not To prescribe your Justice Sir Ki. Away with him Enter a Gentleman with a Letter to Antonio An. To me I have seen this character Enter Carlo Piracquo Guard Car. Return him at my peril Sir Lord 2. What do you think of my Lord Piracquo Lord 1. I think he 's gone to prison yet I think He 's here agen if that be he for we are Not sure of any thing at Court Now my Lord Pi. Do any of you know my Lords wherefore I am under guard 1. Not we Pi. I could not satisfie the Prince's question 2. Your sons offence was an affront to th' Prince Antonio Pi. That was not well 't was Some high provocation made him lose his temper 1. They were at it with their swords Pi. No hurt I hope 2. The Prince's feather discompos'd or so Pi. This was not my fault Gentlemen Car. Proclame to th' world I 'm not your son take off Mine and your peoples expectation And then 't is no dishonor for to be Believed the Prince at the same time and one That dares betray a Gentleman from 's Sanctuary To be a sacrifice at home are things Of inconsistent nature and destructive Charge him with new committed crimes since I Gave him my word and honour to secure him And there he stands without an Altar to Protect him but far be it from the King To make it a new treason to be rich It will be thought your avarice to his wealth And read in story to your shame for ever Piracquo died to pay your debts 1. The Prince Solicites hard the King inclines Ca. I know This doth not Sir proceed from your own soul But some malignant nature that hath drop'd And would infect your ear with wicked counsell 'T was some malicious enemy to me And to your fame as well as Don Piracquo His life and fortune hath conspir'd to make Me less than Prince and you unfit to be A King when once men catch at your inconstancie For I must pray you to remember Sir I had your royall promise to confirm My undertaking for his facts at sea And give me leave to say Sir this dishonorable Retreat will stagger all your peoples faith A King to break his sacred word will teach The great men to be safe without your service Who will beleeve your smiles are snares to catch Their fortunes and when once the crowd takes sent Of this you leave your self no oath to swear by 2.
