Stay, O; stay that hand, let that goodness in you which would spare things fair, and holy, preserve the fairest, and the holiest. The angels would be proud to take such shape upon them when they visit earth, 'tis such as yourself ought to look with reverence on. there's a weapon hid within my heart, which none can take away: it wounds deeply. Now Death thou art a lover, and dost court me mildly. O my Lady, help, help, O my Lady. Give her more air. she's gone, my times no longer, our lives were woven on the same web, the destinies condemned me to see her death, and then to follow. she breathes, stand off. My Brother, O my Father. How do you Madam? Too well, my Strength returns too fast upon me. Were my Soul fled, that voice would call it back again, itself would return: and choose this Paradise on earth, I'll not disturb her with my longer stay. If that your Lady shall need any thing, you may have it with a thought, a long peace shall not present it with more care, and speed: she shall not find less tenderness, and honour then if her Father still ruled all. The Guards at your command, and shall stay only for your safety. Soldier, thart noble, may the gods reward thy goodness, Madam, you had best go in. Fortune, glory, Victory, all are fled Unto their several habitations, And have left Dishonour, Losses, Danger In their Stead, not so much praise to all our Dead Story, as that we lost one man to Save a Kingdom, not bleed a drop for the Whole body's safety. My Lord, let not the treachery of such Villains trouble you more than your thought of safety, show your hate unto their falsehood by seeking to revenge it, you have yet hopes left, if timely you put your former Resolution into practice, when we have gained the Fort, there's means to escape the isle, and seek foreign aid, you have many friends that you may trust too. This our obscure flight will make our return more glorious, which shall be i'th' face of the whole Kingdom, nor will we choose another way, but what passes o'er Cities, Armies, and through a general ruin to our Revenge. He who injustly swayed the State Lives no where now, but in their Hate. there's nothing left of him but shame. Which both preserves, and Clouds his name. When civil Beasts fall, Let it be Called slaughter, and not Victory. Cho. When that he dies, that lived a shade His sleeps continued then, not made. Arise thou Star of honour there And in his stead shine round our Sphere Grace thou the Throne, and let us see Thy father once more Reign in thee. we'll now in nought but love conspire, And no breast burn, but with true fire. Cho. While that such manners rule the Throne Live all by his, he by his own.

Stay, O; stay that hand, let that goodnesse in you which would spare things faire, and holy, preserve the fairest, and the holyest.

Ther's a weapon hid within my heart, which none can take away: it wounds deepely. Now Death thou art a lover, and dost court me mildly. O my Lady, helpe, helpe, O my Lady. Give her more ayre.
