Alcip. When she can love to a discovery, It shows her Passion eminent and high; But I am married to a Maid that hates me: What help for that, Pisaro? And thou hast something too to say of her, What was't? for now thou hast undone me quite. Pis.
I am not well; Too suddenly I pass from one extreme To this of Joy, more insupportable: But I shall re-assume my health anon, And tell thee all my story. Er. Dear Sir, retire into this inner room, And there repose awhile: Alas, I see disorder in your Face. Phi. This confidence of me, is generous in thee. SCENE V. The Court Gallery. Enter Alcippus. Alcip.
This day you must to th'Camp, and in your absence I'll take upon me what I scorn'd last night, The Office of a Spy Believe me, Sir, for by the Gods I swear, I never wish'd the glory of a Conquest With half that zeal as to compose these differences. Alcip. I do believe thee, and will tell thee something That past between the Prince and I last night; And then thou wilt conclude me truly miserable.
Sir, when you weigh my Sorrows with this Action, You'll find no base Design, no Villany there; But being weary of a Life I hated, I strove to put it off, and missing that way, I come to make an offer of it here. King. King. Phi. Alcippus, may I credit what thou'st said, Or do you feign repentance to deceive me? Alcip.
But why, Erminia, must I grant it thee? Er. The Princess, Sir, questions my Power, and says, I cannot gain so much upon your Goodness. Alcip. I could have wish'd some other had oblig'd thee to't. Er. You would not blame her if you knew her reason. Alcip.
I have too much betray'd my Passion for him, I must recal it, if I can I must: I will for should I yield, my power's o'erthrown, And what's a Woman when that glory's gone? SCENE II. The Apartments of Alcippus. Enter Alcippus and Pisaro. Pis. You seem'd then to be pleas'd with what she said. Alcip. And then methought I was so, But yet even then I fear'd she did dissemble.
Preserve thy Soul, if thou hast any sense Of future Joys, after this vile damn'd Action. Er. Ah, what have I done? Alcip. That which if I should let thee live, Erminia, Would never suffer thee to look abroad again. Thou'st made thy self and me Oh, I dare not name the Monsters. But I'll destroy them while the Gods look down, And smile upon my Justice. Er. Hold, hold, and hear my Vows of Innocence.
This will the Gods; thy King yet more Will give thee what those Gods adore; And what they did create for thee, Alcippus, look, for that is she. Enter the Princess, who goes over the Stage as a Spirit, bows a little to Alcippus, and goes off. Alcip. Er.
Madam, you strangely do improve my pain, To give me hopes you must recal again. Er. Alcippus, you this language will forbear, When you shall know how powerful you are; For whilst you here endeavour to subdue, The best of Women languishes for you. Alcip.
I will not answer thee to what thou hast said, But only beg thou wilt preserve thy life, Without which mine will be of little use to me. Alcip. Might I without a sin believe this Blessing, Sure I should be immortal. Falatio peeps in again. Fal. I think I may venture, the fury is past, and the great shot spent, the mad Captain General's wounded; so, I hope 'twill let out some of his hot blood
