Her heart is frozen up, nor can warm prayers Thaw it to any softness. I'll fetch her sir again. Persuade her not. You give your passion too much leave to triumph. Seek in another what she denies. Where's the King? oh sir, you are undone, A dangerous treason is a foot. What treason? Cassander, and Eubulus haven proclaimed Another King, whom they pretend to be Leonatus your elder brother, he that was, But this morning prisoner in the Castle. Ha'? The easy Epirotes Gather in multitudes to advance his title, They have seized upon the Court, secure your person Whilst we raise power to curb this insurrection. Lose no time then. We will not arm one man, Speak it again, have I a brother living? And must be no King. What means your grace? This news doth speak me happy, it exalts My heart, and makes me capable of more Than twenty kingdoms. Will you not sir, stand Upon your guard? I'll stand upon my honour, Mercy relieves me.

He's strangely possessed Gentlemen. HEre's a strange turn, Lisander. 'tis a kingdom Easily purchased, who will trust the faith Of multitudes? It was his fault, that would So tamely give him title to their mercy, The new King has possession. And is like To keeped, we are alone, what doffed think of This innovation? if't not a fine lig? A precious cunning in the late Protector To shuffle a new Prince into the state. I know not how they have shuffled, but my head on't A false card is turned up trump, but fates look too't. Does he not carry it bravely. Excellently. Philocles Lisander. Your lordship's servants, Are we not bound to heaven, for multiplying These blessings on the kingdom. Heaven alone Works miracles my Lord. I think your Lordship Had as little hope once, to see these Princes Revive. Here we must place our thanks, Next providence, for preserving So dear a pledge. The King. It is our pleasure The number of our guard be doubled, give A Largesse to the Soldiers; but dismiss not The troops till we command. May it please.

My Lords, and Gentlemen, to whose faith we must Owe next to heaven our fortune, and our safety, After a tedious eclipse, the day Is bright, and we invested in those honours, Our blood, and birth did challenge.
