Doubt not me, I shall perform with cunning skill, whate'er Belongs to me; but do you intend the General Alone shall fall, or his confederates Shall perish with him, O by all means, Indian princes Do carry slaves to wait on them into The other world, and 'twere inglorious, That our brave General should not have that privilege Count Tertzki, Kintzki, Newman, Marshal Illawe, Shall be his harbingers, and i'th' shades below, Provide fit entertainment for his Ghost. They are of power, their deaths will shrewdly weaken, The strength of the Conspiracy. Very true, I'll craftily instill into his ears, New causes of distrust, so to beget In him more confidence of my faith, so to Allure him hither sooner, we must work Surely, as does the Mole, who digs Her habitation in the earth, and scorns! All the assaults of tempests; when he's in, We must be prompt in action, sure of hand, And sound of heart, and strike him with that violence, From the supposed Heavens, His ambition climbs to, that the thin air Does from its purer Regions Dull earthly meteors; come let's away, Nought crosses actions like a dull delay. To be diseased in mind, diseased past cure Of Physic or sage counsel, is a madness, The active Soldiers, all whose ends are glory, And that by virtue (cowards term a sin) Ambition, should not be acquainted with. Although my cares do hang upon my soul, Like mines of Lead, the greatness of my spirit, Shall shake the sullen weight off; natural rest, (Is like a wholesome bath to limbs oppressed With gouts and aches) to a troubled mind, A most excelling medicine, and I feel A strong propension in my brain, to court Sleep for its mild Physician: within there; boy. Sirrah be sure that none disturb my rest, On no occasion, on your life I charge you. Shall I sing Sir. Yes, if the notes be heavy, apt to invite The weary soul to slumbers. Who's there? you must not enter. Must not sirrah, Where is your Lord? Your pardon, gracious Madam, he's laid down To rest, and has upon my life commanded Me, none should wake him. Thinkst thou he is So much addicted to his ease, he will Neglect his business, go in and tell him, The Governors of Egers, Colonel Gordon, And Colonel Lesle are without upon Affairs of consequence. Would your Grace Would pardon me, yourself with greater safety Might do it, Madam. Foolish boy, go in, I will be thy security. I shall perform, Though most unwillingly your command; my Lord, Please you to rise, your Duchess. Ha, where's my sword, Thou art a Coward Ghost, and not my sons, To take me in my sleep unarmed, my Poniard Will still be faithful to me, if thou be'st not Thin air, its point will graze on thee. O my Lord, What has your fury acted? this your sudden Murdering this innocent youth, doth add new horrors To your strange cruelties.
