Did it Sir with yours But correspond, it would be bad indeed. Why did you strike that Lady? 'cause you should pity her. Small cause for blows. I struck her publicly. You give her blows in private. Stroza still? Go perjured and dispose thy false allurements 'Mongst them that will believe thee, thou hast lost Thy credit here for ever. I shall find Faith elsewhere then. Eye spread thy snares To catch poor innocent Maids: and having ta'en them In the like pitfall, with their shipwrecked honours, Make seizure of their lives. Injurious Lady, All thou canst touch my Honour with, I cast On thee, and henceforth I will fly thee as A Basaliske. I have found the change of lust, Your loose inconstancy, which is as plain To me, as were it writ upon thy brow, You shall not cast me off: I hate thy sight, And from this hour I will abjure thee quite. I'll call him back: if Stroza be no villain, He is not worth my clamour. What was that startled Within me? Oh I am dishonoured Perpetually; for he hath left behind That pledge of his acquaintance, that will for ever Cleave to my blood in scandal, I must now Sue, send, and crave, and what before I scorned By prayers to grant, submissively implore. Lady your suit? So please your Grace peruse it, It is included there. Our general's Wife? We know you Lady, and your beauteous Daughter, Nay you shall spare your knee, More plot for me; My brain's in labour, and must be delivered Of some new mischief? You petition here For Men and Money I making a free relation Of all your Husband's fortunes, how supplies Have been delayed, and what extremities He hath endured at Naples dreadful Siege; We know them all, and withal do acknowledge All plenteous blessings by the power of Heaven, By him we do obtain, and by his valour Lady we greve he hath been so neglected. O Royal Sir, you still were Gracious, But twixt your Virtues and his Merits there Hath been some interception, that hath stopped The current of your favours. All which shall be removed, and he appear Henceforth a bright star in our courtly sphere. But no such Comet here shall daze my sight, Whilst I a Cloud am to Eclipse that light We sent out our Commissions two Months since For Men and Money, nor was't our intent It should be thus delayed: though we are Prince, We only can command, to Execute 'tis not in us but in our Officers, We understand that by their negligence He has been put to much extremity Of Dearth and Famine; many a stormy night Been forced to roof himself i'th' open field, Nay more than this, much of his own revenue He hath expended, all to pay his Soldiers: Yet Reverend Madame, but forget what's past, Though late, we'll quit his merit at the last.
