Save you Gentlemen, who can direct me To find my Lord Protector? He was here Within this half hour, young Lisimachus His son is with the Queen. There let him compliment, I have other business, ha'? Arcadius! Observed you with what eyes Arcadius And he saluted, their two families Will hardly reconcile. Seleucus carries Himself too roughly, with what pride and scorn He passed by 'em. The t'other with less show Of anger carries pride enough in's soul, I wish 'em all at peace, Macarius looks Are without civil war, a good old man, The old King loved him well, seleucus' Father Was as dear to him, and maintained the character Of an honest Lord through Epire: that two men So loved of others, should be so unwelcome To one another. The Queen was not wont to send for me. The reason's to herself, It will become your duty to attend her. Save you Gentlemen, what novelty Does the Court breath to day? None sir, the news That took the last impression is, that you Purpose to leave the kingdom, and those men, That honour you, take no delight to hear it. I have ambition to see the difference Of Courts, and this may spare; the delights At home do surfeit, and the mistress whom We all do serve is fixed upon one object, Her beams are too much pointed, but no Country Shall make me lose your memories. Arcadius. Your Lordship honoured me, I have no blessing in his absence. 'tis done like a pious uncle. We must not Give any licence. If your Majesty Would please. We are not pleased, it had become your duty, To have first acquainted us, ere you declared Your resolution public, is our Court Not worth your stay? I humbly beg your pardon. Where's Lysimachus? Your humble servant Madam. We shall find Employment at home for you, do not lose us. Madam I then write myself blessed on earth When I may do you service. We would be private Macarius. Madam you have blessed me, Nothing but your command could interpose to Stay him. Lysimachus You must not leave us. Nothing but Lysimachus? has she not Ta'en a philter? Nay pray be covered, Ceremony from you. Must be excused, It will become my duty. Not your love? I know you would not have me look upon Your person as a Courtier, not as favourite, That title were too narrow to express How we esteem you. The least of all These names from you Madam, is grace enough. Yet here you would not rest. Not if you please? To say there is a happiness beyond, And teach my ambition how to make it mine, Although the honours you already have Let fall upon your servant, exceed all My merit; I have a heart is studious To reach it with desert, and make if possible Your favours mine by justice, with your pardon.
