But the state We are in requires you should be active sir. Ah Iulio, the armies which I fear Are not abroad, they have made entrenchment here. Though Naples do not bid you welcome sir ashore, the joys and duties of your subjects Cannot be silent. We do thank you all, The seas were kind, and the winds kissed our sails. All things conspired to our revenge. Your justice Our very enemies acknowledge it, And conscious of their injury, are afraid To look upon us. Marshal of the field Give present order for entrenchments. we'll quarter here, you shall make good that part With your horse troops, and plant Canons on that hill, To play upon the town, Naples shall find We did not venture all upon one stake, That petty loss at sea which made them triumph, And perhaps careless of more opposition Shall dearly be accounted for, beside Dishonouring our Daughter, and our Court By such a rude departure. As they had Scorned your alliance. Thy particular Sufferings Horatio, and wounds are put Into the scale. They are not worthy sir, Had his sword reached my heart, my death had been No sin compared to that affront he threw, Upon yourself and Daughter, I was bound To engage that blood was given me to serve you, And I do love those drops that in a cause So just made haste to show their duty to you Better than those that dwell within my heart. We are confident of thy loyalty. The Princess. Alas Rosinda thou wert not bred to these Tumults and noise of war, has not the sea Impaired thy health, I was too rash to allow Thy travail, and expose thy tenderness To this rude voyage. It appears to me A pleasant change of air, I have heard men talk Of many horrors that attend the seas Of tempests, and of dangers, I have seen Nothing to fright me, if the waves put on No other shape, I could exchange methinks My dwelling on the land. We owe this happiness To you fair Princess, for whose safer passagê The breath of heaven did gently swell our sails, The waves were proud to bear so rich a lading, And danced toth' music of the winds. You show Your compliment my Lord, call you this Naples? The kingdom of our enemy which shall groan for the inhabitants. Are all our forces. Landed? Safe to your wishes, and expect What they shall be commanded. We must first Secure the ground we have, being defenced With works, we may prevent their sallies, and Assault to our best advantage, still preserve Thy courage my Rosinda, 'tis for thee We have adventured hither. And you have Been kind to the petition of your daughter, Who can in duty wait upon your fortune At home, I should have withered in your absence, I shall grow valiant here.
