You point at that which takes the Eye And is but half a handsomeness at best Unless the mind be furnished with those virtues Which write a woman fair, but Clariana There is no time for this dispute, and I Am somewhat sorry you have fall'n upon't When I but praised Eubella modestly, She is to me the best and fairest now Of all the world, but turn to the occasion That brought me hither, I would hear what practice Is meant against my life, which I would now Preserve for that dear virgin, more than love To keep it for my use, I did imagine however Bellament showed a formal And calm release, yet he would meditate Revenge at such a time he most should wound me And had not I a perfect confidence Your thoughts meant simple pity to my danger I should not thus far have engaged myself, Than I beseech you tell me Any thing. Why d'ee delay me thus Clariana? Pardon o pardon me Hippolito Indeed I will discover all the plot I am prepared, But there is no misfortune Levelled at you, the danger is all mine And I but use this policy, to take My last farewell, for I must never see You married You amaze me, what unhappiness? Will Bellament be so cruel to thee Having forgiven A hand more severe. Is armed against me Is there no prevention It is within your mercy to do much Pronounce then as much safety as my strength can give thee against any enemy be But Bellament, I have wounded him Too much already, may I credit then There is treachery aiming at my blood Declare what man I must oppose in thy Protection No man You're mystical A woman is my enemy There will be No use of valour then But much of love If you resolve to save bleeding Clariana Thou must oppose Eubella. What was that? Kill my Eubella? It stretches not so far, only I beg You would not marry her, and I shall live. Not marry her, why there's no steel can bring So certain and so violent a death, Forsake Eubella now, now when she's dressed My glorious bride, the Nuptial ceremony And Priest expecting us, I know you speak not In hope I should believe, you may as well Bid me'commit a murder on my life For this will kill her and we both are one. Who hath instructed you to this? My love My love that will not suffer me to know Thou must be given thus away for ever I could endure thy absence for whole years And not complain, repent my equal sorrow We have so far offended, while you keep Your present freedom, there were then some hope A possibility, at last to meet In new affections to redeem the old But thus my expectation is destroyed, You understand? Too much, be not deceived, There is no love that is not virtuous And thy consenting thus far but in thought Is sacrilege, and thou dost rob the Church Twice, first in violation of thy vows Which there were registered, and then mine expected I dare not hear you talk thus
