And since Montalto Is become incapable, I won't marry thee; that's a thing too common? But thou shalt be my mistress, a preferment Above my first intention; be wise And entertain it; oh the days and nights we'll spend together. The King's very pleasant With Domitilla. Come kiss me Domitilla; kiss me now Before all these; what needs this modesty; Come let us take in one another's soul. Are you the King of Naples. So they call me, And if there be a power within that name It shall be thine to make thee glorious, And great above our Queen; there is no title like unto that our heat and blood creates A mistress Domitilla. Are you Sir in earnest? Do but thou consent, and I Will give thee such a proof in my embraces Of the delight; they will not follow us; I'll tell thee more i'th' bedchamber. I dare Not understand this language, can the King Be impious; how was my opinion cozened Sin hath deformed his very shape; his voice Hath now no harmony. This is but to draw More courtship from me. Pardon I beseech you; I have found my error. Will she yield? I did consent Too soon to my captivity, Though modesty would not allow me strength To tell you so; but you have Sir, by what My fond thoughts never did expect, relieved me, to make me know myself; and now preserving That duty which I owe you as my King, I call love back again, and can look on Your lusts with a becoming scorn. You can. Yes, and were Naples, Rome, and all the wealth Of Italy laid down, the great temptation, Thus I would spurn their glories. Come this is but the trick of all your sex; We know you can dissemble appetite, As if you were not flesh and blood. Sir give Me leave to go while I have power to pray for you, Where was I lost? is there no friend to goodness; Have I contracted such a leprous form That I have lost all men's defence and charity. Madam your innocence doth raise in me, Though young, a willing champion, and with My safe obedience to the King, I dare, Armed with the witness of her cause, defy The greatest soldier in the world. How's this? Sir, in a noble cause, if you to whom In the first place truth flies as to an Altar, Wave her religious defence I dare die for her. You so brave? to prison with him; We will correct your sauciness. You will grace My first act Sir, and get me same by suffering For so much sweetness. Let not your displeasure Great Sir fall upon him; revenge what you Call disobedience here. You owe much to His confidence; nor is there any punishment Beyond your love and liking of his boldness; You two should make a marriage with your follies. Let Domitilla make Octavio So blessed.
