Ah cruell, false, ambitious thirst of State! Bloody-like rage! but more reuengefull still, Because their ends doe more inflame their will. My rights, and hopes I giue, and doe forgiue: Wrong! take the world, let me enIoy my selfe. Scorn'd, blind, I cannot harme. Ah! let me liue. Let power despise My needlesse, guiltlesse blood. The strength of feare The losse of all things, but of life, can beare. What see I here! More spectacles of woe? And are my kinred only made to be Agents, and Patients in iniquity? Ah forlorne wretch! ruines example right! Lost to thy selfe, not to thy enemie, Whose hand, euen while thou fliest, thou fal'st into; And with thy fall, thy father do'st vndoe. Saue one I may: Nature would saue them both; But Chance hath many wheeles, Rage many eyes. What shall I then abandon innocents? Not helpe a helplesse brother throwne on me? Is nature narrow to aduersity? No, No. Our God left duty for a law; Pittie, at large; Loue, in authority; Despaire, in bonds; feare, of it selfe in awe: That rage of time, and powers strange liberty, Oppressing good men might resistance finde: Nor can I to a brother be lesse kinde. Do'st thou, that canst not see, hope to escape? Disgrace, can haue no friend; contempt, no guide; Right, is thy guilt; thy Iudge, iniquity; Which desolation casts on them that see. Make calme thy rage: pittie a ghost distrest: My right, my liberty, I freely giue: Giue him, that neuer harm'd thee, leaue to liue. Nay; God, the World, thy Parents it denie; A brothers iealous heart, vsurped might Growes friends with all the world, except thy right. Secure thy selfe. Exile me from this coast: My fault, suspition is; my Iudge, is feare; Occasion, with my selfe, away I beare. Fly vnto God: For in humanity Hope there is none. Reach me thy fearfull hand: I am thy sister; neither fiend, nor spie Of Tyrants rage; but one that feeles despaire Of thy Estate, which thou do'st only feare. Kneele downe; embrace this holy mystery, A refuge to the worst for rape, and blood; And yet, I feare, not hallowed for the good, Helpe God! defend thine Altar! since thy might, In earth, leaues Innocence no other right. Eternall God! that seest thy selfe in vs! If vowes be more than sacrifice of lust, Rays'd from the smokes of hope, and feare in vs; Protect this innocent; calme Alahams rage; By miracles faith goes from age, to age. Affection trembles; reason is opprest; Nature, methinkes, doth her owne entrayles teare: In resolution ominous is feare. Sirs! seeke the City, examine, torture, racke: Sanctuaries none let there be: make darknesse knowne: Pull downe the roofes, digge, burne, put all to wracke: And let the guiltlesse for the guilty grone. Change, shame, misfortune in their scaping, lie; And in their finding our prosperity.
