My joy had been too great if he had lived, The thrifty heavens mingle our sweets with gall; lest being glutted with excess of good, We should forget the giver. Rise Sebastiano With thy happy choice, mayst thou live crowned With the enjoyment of those benefits, My prayers shall beg for: rise Aurelio, And in some place blessed with religious prayers, Spend thy left Remnant. You advise well: indeed it was a fault To break the bonds of duty, and of law; But love, O Love; thou whose all conquering power, Builds Castles on the hearts of easy maids, And makes 'em strong unto attempt those dangers: That but rehearsed before, would fright their souls Into a Jelly. Brother, I must leave you; And Father, when I send to you a note, that shall Desire a yearly stipend to that holy place My tired feet has found to rest them in; Pray confirm it. And now great King Aurelia begs of you, To grace Antonio in the mournful March Unto his grave, which be where you think fit: We need not be interred both in one Vault. Blessed Virgin, thy desires I will perform. Then I leave you, my prayers shall still attend you As I hope yours shall accompany me. Father your blessing, and ere long expect To hear where I am entertained a Nun Brother, and Sister, to you both adieu; Antonio dead, Aurelia marries new. Farewell girl, when I remember thee, The Beads I drop shall be my tears. She's to all virgins a true mirror; They that would behold true love, reflect on her: There 'tis ingrossed. Great King, our Grace— The King is sad, you must not act. How? not act? Shall not Vermin act? Yes you shall act, but not now; The King is indisposed. Well then, some other time; I Virmine The King will act before the King. Very good, pray make your I'll muster up all the Tailors in the Town, and so tickle their sides. Nay thou'rt a right Virmine, go be not Troublesome. Upon my truth and loyalty great King, What they did was but feigned, merely words Without a heart: 'twas by Antonio's Counsel. Thou art all truth: rise. Long live King Philip in the calm of peace, To exercise his Regal Clemency. Take up Antonio's body, and let the rest Find Christian burial: mercy befits a King, Come trusty Tailor, And to all Countries let swift Fame report, King Philip made a tailor's house his Court. Your grace much honours me. We can't enough pay thy alone deserts, Kings may be poor, when Subjects are like thee, So fruitful in all loyal virtuous deeds: March with the Body we'll perform all Rights, Of sable Ceremony: that done, We'll to our Court, since all our own is won.

My joy had bin too great if he had liv'd, The thrifty heaven's mingle our sweets with gall; Least being glutted with excesse of good, We should forget the giver. Rise Sebastiano With thy happy choise, mayst thou live crown'd With the injoyment of those benifits, My prayers shall beg for: rise Aurelio, And in some place blest with religious prayers, Spend thy left Remnant. You advise well: indeed it was a fault To breake the bonds of duty, and of law; But love, O Love; thou whose all conquering power, Builds Castles on the hearts of easie maides, And makes 'em strong unto attempt those dangers: That but rehearst before, wo'd fright their soules Into a Jelly.
