By your submission, whatsoe'er he seem, In time you'll make the greater Slave of him. Am. Well not from the hope of that, but from my Love, His change of humour I'm content to prove. Here take me, Alcander; Whilst to Inconstancy I bid adieu, I find variety enough in you. King.
Thou know'st the Oaths and Vows she made to me, Never to marry other than my self, And you, Alcander, wrought me to believe them. But now her Vows to marry none but me, Are given to Alcippus, and in his bosom breath'd, With balmy whispers, whilst the ravisht Youth For every syllable returns a kiss, And in the height of all his extasy, Philander's dispossess'd and quite forgotten.
Am. Methinks, Alcander, you should shun that Maid, Of whose too much of kindness you're afraid. Alcan. Nay, do not leave me yet, for still your Scorn Much better than your Absence may be borne. Am. Well, Sir, your business, for mine requires haste. Alcan. Say, fair Aminta, shall I never find You'll cease this Rigour, and be kind? Will that dear Breast no Tenderness admit?
Alcander, I have none of all these Charms: But well, you say you love me; could you be Content to dismiss these petty sharers in your Heart, And give it all to me; on these conditions I may do much. Alcan. Aminta, more perhaps than I may like. Am. Do not fear that, Alcander. Alcan. Your Jealousy incourages that Fear. Am. If I be so, I'm the fitter for your humour. Alcan.
Faith, Madam, try, you'll find it just like mine. The first I lov'd was Philocles, and then Made Protestations ne'er to love again, Yet after left him for a faithless crime; But then I languisht even to death for him; But Love who suffer'd me to take no rest, New fire-balls threw, the old scarce dispossest; And by the greater flame the lesser light, Like Candles in the Sun extinguished quite, And left no power Alcander to resist, Who took, and keeps possession of my breast.
Alcander is a worthy Youth and brave, I wish you would esteem him so; 'Tis true, there's now some difference between us, Our Interests are dispos'd to several ways, But Time and Management will join us all: I'll leave you; but prithee make it thy business To get my Pardon for last night's rudeness. Am. I shall not fail. Re-enter Falatius, with Alcander melancholy. Fal. Here, Madam, here he is.
All Lycurgus did was to make him wait upon him at meals, and Alcander was so touched and won over that he became one of his best supporters. After having fully taught Sparta to observe his rule, Lycurgus declared that he had another journey to take, and made the people swear to observe his laws till he came back again. He never did come back, and they held themselves bound by them for ever.
The Cap'n blinked his growing amazement. "And the scheme is," continued Hiram, "to have old law shark of an Alcander, as trial justice, sentence the livin' skeleton on each separate trespass offence, fine and imprisonment in default of payment.
Without on the Stage, Philander with his Sword half drawn, held by Galatea, who looks ever on Alcippus: Erminia still fixing her Eyes on Philander; Pisaro passionately gazing on Galatea: Aminta on Fallatio, and he on her: Alcander, Isillia, Cleontius, in other several postures, with the rest, all remaining without motion, whilst the Musick softly plays; this continues a while till the Curtain falls; and then the Musick plays aloud till the Act begins.
