My Lord, set me not such a spectacle of shame. It must be so. Submit now, and command ever. My Lord, will you honour us with your help. The gods preserve the King. We have now performed the one half of our duty, which was to seat you thus, the other is with our lives to keep you at this height. If I may yet take confidence to speak, and it will become me to say something of myself. I could tell you how this day hath been familiar to me, and in a dream I have seen things so often, that did not these shouts confirm me, which were then Still the concluders of my happiness, I could not yet believe but all that I have now suffered is only airy, and these shapes I see, merely fantastic. It was a good and prosperous Omen; which presaged your quiet here. The gods would not suffer you to rest in a wrong place. May it be so. And shall I alone in such a glorious Action walk unseen? and as a fault perform my duties in disguise? I rather will proclaim it, here fall my mist away, now thou only barrest me from my joys, to which I am not near enough unless I can embrace. Give me leave my Lords that as my life, so I may throw my body at his feet; I have a share in him, ay, though a Stranger to you, it was my Father's purchase, with his life, he bought it, nor desire I to hold it by another patent, may such be the noted end successively of all our name, no disease but our Mistress cause to die on. Here let me kneel and pray all happiness and the best things may fall, and then rise, and with my Sword procure those blessings I have prayed for, know me my Lords, I am Pallantus.— Pallantus? Pallantus! My dearest friend proved my dearest kinsman? could I be so dull as to imagine such valours could be in a shape so low as thy outside promised, or so common as to be met by chance. That I could love thee so, and yet have no interest in thee? where hast thou been thus long dead? Sr. look upon this man that turns our joys thus from you, your party is made strong by his discovery, he has brought such unexpected aid within himself. My Lord, I am yet as in a new World, and know no more than if I now began to live, the most common things are wonders to me, you must excuse me therefore if I know not how to entertain such accidents as these, yet I can love, if you point me where I should, and being that I want art, and reason I'll lay on the more.
