Mounseiur Barnavelt, I am sorry that a man of your great wisdom And those rare parts that make ye lov'd and honourd, In every Princes Court highly esteemd of, Should loose so much in point of good and vertue Now in the time you ought to fix your faith fast, The creadit of your age, carelessly loose it, I dare not say, ambitiously that your best frends, And those that ever thought on your example, Dare not with comon safetie now salute ye.
And this shall moaw the head of Mounsieur Barnavelt. Man is but grasse and hay: I have him here And here I have him. I would undertake with this Sword To cutt the devills head of, hornes and all, And give it to a Burger for his breakfast. Ley.
Sit downe then, And now with speedy Justice let's prepare To cutt off this Imposthume. Enter Provost & Guard, with Barnavelt. Vand. 'Tis high time, Sir. Prov. Roome for the Prisoner! Vand. Bring him in; Sit downe, Sir, And take your last place with us. Bar. 'Tis your forme And I infringe no order. Bred.
Petersburg, a Shakespearian scholar, whose name is well known to readers of the Anglia and the New Shakspere Society's Transactions. Mr. Boyle, who has a close acquaintance with Massinger, on seeing the proof-sheets of Sir John Van Olden Barnavelt, pointed out several repetitions of expressions used in other plays of Massinger. It will be understood that I do not adopt Mr.
Webster's "Appius and Virginia," v. i., &c. The reply of 1 Cap., extending to thirteen lines, has been scored through in the MS., at the instance, I suppose, of the censorious Master of the Revels; it is, unfortunately, quite illegible. The MS. reads "Enter Barnavelt, Modes-bargen, Leidenberck, Vandermetten, Grotius, Taurinus, Utenbogart, Hogebeets." Names not in italics are scored through.
Your lordships true friend and most obedient Servant. Van. Come to the present busines then. Or. We attend you. Actus Secundus. Enter Barnavelt, Leidenberch, Modesbargen. Bar. I have with danger venturd thus far to you That you might know by me our plot's discoverd.
Be advisd, Sir; I love you as a friend, and as a wise man Have ever honourd you: be as you were then, And I am still the same. Had I not heard Theis last distemperd words, I would have sworne That in the making up of Barnavelt Reason had only wrought, passion no hand in't.
You can apply this : And here I prophecie I, that have lyvd And dye a free man, shall when I am ashes Be sensible of your groanes and wishes for me; And when too late you see this Goverment Changd to a Monarchie youll howle in vaine And wish you had a Barnavelt againe. Now lead me where you will: a speedy Sentence: I am ready for it and 'tis all I ask you. Actus Quintus.
And must I stick here now, stick unreleevd, too? Must all theis glories vanish into darknes, And Barnavelt passe with 'em and glide away Like a spent exhalation? I cannot hold; I am crackt too deepe alredy. What have I don I cannot answeare? Foole! remember not Fame has too many eares and eyes to find thee! What help, ô miserable man? none left thee. What constant frends?
How ile doe it And in what posture: first, how ile take my leave of him, With a few teares to draw more money from him; Then fold up his braunchd gowne, his hat, his doblet, And like the devill cry 'mine owne! lye there, boyes! Then bind his eyes; last stir myself up bravely And, in the midle of a whollsome praire, Whip and hic iacet Barnavelt.
