Mischiefe! now claime thy due. Malice! feare not, To offer all thy sleights to wicked wits; Ruine lights not amisse where ere it hits. My engines worke, care is already past; My hopes arise out of these Basshas blood: If both, my wish; if either dye, my good. Hala! Good fortunes are together linkt; Thy faith stirres vp new light within my minde: Behold, the Throne descends to take me vp. Antiquitie, in her vnenuied wombe, Now offers vs the fatall president Of sixteene Kings, my Predecessors, all Blinded, and then depos'd by Basshas hand: So tickely vnworthinesse doth stand. Doth wit, and courage only rest in slaues? Hath hazard ought more horrible than scorne? Haue I occasions sure, and shall I stay To giue all, but my miserie, away? No Hala, No: Thy dowrie shall be fame; Thy stile, a Crowne; thy prospect, reuerence: The East shall doe thee honor in my name. Out shall my fathers, and my brothers eyes; Authority is only for the wise. But since these mighty workes haue many parts, And I but one, which one cannot doe all; Ile send thee Caine: keepe firme vpon your strengths. Beauty, and honor, natures Scepters be, And haue on mens desires authority. Now Hala, seeke thy sex; lend scorn'e thy wit, To worke new patterns of Reuenges in. Let rage despise to feed on priuate blood; Her honor lies aboue, where danger is, In Thrones of Kings, in vniuersall woe. Worke that which Alaham may enuie at, And men wish theirs, that Ill it selfe may tremble. Monstrous, incredible, too great for words. Keepe close, and adde to furie with restraint; Doe not breake forth vntill thou breakest all. Is Wrong so proud? Shall Man once dare to fashion A Womans ruine, in a womans passion? Husband! most odious name: scorne of subiection. Is loue to women but your rage of thoughts? Are your desires let blood by your enioying? Ah fooles! We see your lusts relent, you see not ours; And from that change aduantage hath her powers. But on: Still vse thy craft: Thy strength lies there. Ignorance, that sometimes makes the hypocrite, Wants neuer mischiefe; though it oft want feare: For while thou thinkst faith made to answer wit, Obserue the iustice that doth follow it. Caine, Mahomet, and me thou hat'st alike, For vnlike cause, and craftie wayes do'st take, That each may ruin'd be for others sake. Shall I, for thee, hazard Caines life I loue? And weigh downe my affection with my hate? Can highest thoughts haue any thing aboue? Ah! but perchance my safety in the blood Of Mahomet doth rest, the good of Caine: Then were it losse to make occasion vaine. And shall I looke but only to be safe? Can Iniurie and Malice adde no more? Ah coward sex! faint, shallow Passion Farre from me be: A worke that no age dares Allow, yet none conceale, I must attempt. Furie! then spurre thy selfe, embedlam wit; Poyson my thoughts, to make my reason see Pleasure in crueltie, Glorie, in spite: Rage to exceed examples doth delight.
