Enough of that, thou dost but gently chide me for a fault, that I will mend; for I have been too poor, and low in my rewards unto thy virtue: but to our business; the question is, whether we shall rely upon our Guards again? By no means Sir: hope on his future fortunes, or their Love unto his person, has so sicklied o'er their resolutions, that we must not trust them. Besides, it were but needless here; he passes through the vault alone, and I myself durst undertake that business, if that were all, but there is something else, this accident doth prompt my zeal to serve you in. I know you love Aglaura (Sir) with passion, and would enjoy her; I know beside she loves him so, that whosoe'er shall bring the tidings of his death, must carry back the news of hers, so that your Justice (Sir) must rob your hope: but there is yet a way— Here! take my heart; for I have hitherto too vainly spent the treasure of my love, e have it coyn'd eight into friendship all, and make a present to thee. If any part of this rich happiness, (fortune prepares now for you) shall owe itself unto my weak endeavours, I have enough. Aglaura without doubt this night expects the Prince, and why you should not then supply his place by stealth, and n disguise— I apprehend thee Ziriff, but there's difficulty— Who trades in Love must be an adventurer, (Sir) but here is scarce enough to make the pleasure dearer: I know the Cave; your Brother and myself with Iolas, (for those w'are sure do hate him,) with some few chosen more betimes will wait the Princes passing through the vault; if he comes first, he's dead; and if it be yourself, we will conduct you to the chamber door, and stand 'twixt you and danger afterwards. I have conceived of Joy, and am grown great: Till I have safe deliverance, time's a cripple and goes on crutches.— as for thee my Ziriff, I do here entertain a friendship with thee, shall drown the memory of all patterns past; we will oblige by turns; and that so thick, and fast, that curious studiers of it, shall not once dare to cast it up, or say b way of ghesse, whether thou or I remain the debtors, when we come to die. Is the Queen ready to come out? Not yet sure, the King's brother is but newly entered; Come my Lord, the Song then. The Song. A vengeance take this love, it spoils a voice worse than the losing of a maidenhead. I have got such a cold with rising and walking in my shirt a nights, that a Bittorne whooping in a reed is better music. This modesty becomes you as ill, my Lord, as wooing would us women: pray, put's not to't.
