And by that kiss May I transfuse my soul, or quite expire? Brother's have often for a kingdom fought: We strive to lose it. This is holy strife. But here I vow, if ere that sacred Lace Shall gird my Temples: Rome must keep her bounds, Or fish for Tribute in the dreadful deep. Let gracious favour smooth wars rugged brow: Cassibelane will compound: All rage must end: We choose you Umpire, for a friendly close. It is my glory to end all with peace: And for that cause, I Comius sent in haste, For to conduct him hither. This trump gives warning of the king's approach. Fate, and no fault of mine, makes me appear, To yield as far as honour gives me leave. Haile valorous prince, disdain not this engrafting Into Rome's Empire, whose command encloses The whole Levant, and whose large shadow hides The triple-bounded Earth, and bellowing Seas. We shall observe your will; so you impose A league, no yoke. Thus we determine: That Crown still shall stand; Reign as the total Monarch of this I'll: Till death un-kings you. 'Twere, Androgeus, best You in our train kept honourable place: And let Themantius wear the royal wreath. You must forgive the Towns which did revolt, Nor seek revenge on Trinobants, but let Young Mandubrace possess his Father's Princedom. Be all wrongs drenched in Lethe. Pardon my rash attempts. Count me your loyal friend. In sign of league, you shall us pledges give, And yearly pay three thousand pound of silver, Unto our Treasury. So let these decrees Be straight proclaimed through Troynovant, whose Tower Shall be more fairly built at my charge, as A lasting Monument of our arrival. All shall be done: Renowned Prince, whose worth, Unparalleled both as a Friend and Foe, We do admire. Accept this Surcoate, starrified with pearls, And Diamonds, such as our own shores breed. And you receive this massy Cup of gold, Loves earnest, and Memorial of this day: By this, suppose our Senate calls you friend. Now time, best Oracle of Oracles, Father of truth, the true sense doth suggest Of Diane's answer; The Lion and the Eagle do design The Britain and the Roman states, whose arms Were painted with those Animals: Both fierce Weary at last conclude: The Semicircles, First letters of the Leaders names, we see Are joined in true loves endless figure. Both come of Trojan race, both nobly bold, Both matchless Captains, on one Throne behold. Now the Tarpeian rock o'erlooks the world; Her Empire bounded only by the Ocean; And boundless Fame beats on the starry Pole. So Danow crawling from a mountain's side, Wider and deeper grows, and like a Serpent, Or Pyramis reversed; improves his bigness, As well as length: Till viewing countries large, And fed with sixty rivers, his wide mouth On the Euxine seanymph gapes, and fear doth stir, Whether he will disgorge, or swallow her.

And by that kisse May I transfuse my soule, or quite expire? Brothers haue often for a kingdome fought: We striue to loose it. This is holy strife. But heere I vow, if ere that sacred Lace Shall gird my Temples: Rome must keep her boundes, Or fish for Tribute in the dredfull deepe. Let gracious fauour smooth warres rugged brow: Cassibelane will compound: All rage must end: We choose you Vmpire, for a friendly cloze. It is my glory to end all with peace: And for that cause, I Comius sent in hast, For to conduct him hither. This trump giues warning of the Kings approach. Fate, and no fault of mine, makes me appeare, To yeeld as far as honour giues me leaue. Haile valorous prince, disdaine not this ingrafting Into Romes Empire, whose command incloses The whole Leuant, and whose large shadow hides The triple-bounded Earth, and bellowing Seas. We shall obserue your will; so you impose A league, no yoake. Thus we determine: That Crowne still shall stand; Raigne as the totall Monarch of this Ile: Till death vn-kings you. 'Twere, Androgeus, best You in our traine kept honourable place: And let Themantius weare the royall wreath. You must forgiue the Townes which did reuolt, Nor seeke reuenge on Trinobants, but let Young Mandubrace possesse his Fathers Princedome. Be all wrongs drencht in Lethe. Pardon my rash attempts. Count me your loyall friend. In signe of league, you shall vs pledges giue, And yeerely pay three thousand pound of siluer, Vnto our Treasury. So let these decrees Be straight proclaim'd through Troynovant, whose Tower Shall be more fairely built at my charge, as A lasting Monument of our arriuall. All shall be done: Renowned Prince, whose worth, Vnparalelld both as a Friend and Foe, We doe admire. Accept this Surcoate, starrified with pearles, And Diamonds, such as our owne shoares breed. And you receiue this massie Cup of gold, Loues earnest, and Memoriall of this day: By this, suppose our Senate cals you friend. Now time, best Oracle of Oracles, Father of truth, the true sense doth suggest Of Dians answer; The Lyon and the Eagle doe designe The Britaine and the Romane states, whose armes Were painted with those Animals: Both fierce Weary at last conclude: The Semicircles, First letters of the Leaders names, we see Are ioyn'd in true loues endlesse figure. Both come of Troiane race, both nobly bold, Both matchlesse Captaines, on one Throne behold. Now the Tarpeyan rocke ore-lookes the world; Her Empire bounded onely by the Ocean; And boundlesse Fame beates on the starry Pole. So Danow crawling from a mountaines side, Wider and deeper growes, and like a Serpent, Or Pyramis reuerst; improues his bignesse, As well as length: Till viewing countries large, And fed with sixty riuers, his wide mouth On the Euxine Sea-nymph gapes, and feare doth stir, Whether he will disgorge, or swallow her.
