'tis so to both of us. And we will ever celebrate it, as the first day that we were borne Brother and Sister, before we were Strangers, now we are twins of love. My Lord, I understand the holy League betwixt you, and though I lay my hand thus on it, I Intend not for to break it, nor make a divorce, though thus I part you: pardon me that I seem covetous of so great a happiness; and show a loathness to part from it, before I have myself enjoyed it. She must sit some time my Queen, before she be crowned yours. It were a cruelty to wish it other, I will not be guilty of such desires, if after a brother, I an humble servant shall be thought on, 'tis the time and place I am ambitious off. I will withdraw Sir, and though there is no happiness, I can enjoy so great, as beholding yours, I will deny myself the view. O my Lord, say not so, though I am kind I am not fond, I'll give up my interest, or any thing rather than you shall leave us; I spoke it as a means to stay you make it not then a parting word: help me to persuade him. My Lord. 'tis enough, I obey, my business is much below my love, and I will rather destroy the one, then offend the other, yet now I have granted I'll entreat again, as for a new favour. I may persuade, though deny nothing. My voyage was bound to another place, before happily I was cast upon this shore, and though I call myself a Prince, I am a servant to my employments, and obey the Commission of a Father, the expense, and expectation of a Kingdom, My Lord, if your employments are so great, we would not make you guilty of a dishonourable Stay. If with your leaves I shall depart, as a man that is pulled from his delights, with a strong hand, being freed recoils again to them, so speedy shall be my return, and in my absence account all violence, that does detain me, by that time too, your first troubles will be settled, & you more fit to receive an idleman. Our passion ought to give way unto your reason. Aratus you are in a maze. Hah, I must confess I am so. These Princes play their parts so rarely, that there is nothing left for us, but wonder. My Lord, shall we entreat you to bear us company unto the Temple: thither we're a going; to give that perfection to our joys which yet is wanting, and for unusual benefits offer unusual thanks. Sir, I humbly crave your pardon, that thus tardily after the people and your enemies, I present my service to you, and wish you happiness. I cannot be deceived, thou must be my Pallantus, there's none can speak, or look like thee, thy least resemblance is above all men, 'tis no wonder to see thee Changed, thy deed has thus transformed thee, it sits upon thy brow and Casts a glory round about thy face.

Tis so to both of us. And we will ever celebrate it, as the first day that we were borne Brother and Sister, before we were Strangers, now we are twinns of love.

She must sit some time my Queene, before she be crown'd yours. It were a creuelty to wish it other, I will not be guilty of such desires, if after a brother, I an humble servant shall be thought on, 'tis the time and place I am ambitious off.
