Such joy as death, I do assure me that, And nought but death, unless of her I hear, And that with speed, I cannot sigh thus long But what a tumult do I hear within. I hear a noise of overpassing joy Within the court, my Lord be of good comfort. And here comes one in haste, A King, a King, a King. Why how now sirrah, what's the matter? O 'tis news for a king'tis worth money. Why sirrah, thou shalt have silver and gold if it be good. O 'tis good, 'tis good, Amadine. Oh what of her, tell me? & I will make thee a knight How a spirit? no by lady, I will not be aspirit● Masters get ye away, if I be a spirrit, I shall be so lean I shall make you all afraid. Thou sot, the King means to make thee a gentleman. Why I shall want apparel. Thou shalt want for nothing. Then stand away, trick up thyself, here they come. My gracious father pardon thy disloyal daughter What do mine eyes be hold my daughter Amadine Rise up dear daughter & let these my embracing arms Show some token of thy father joy, Which ever since thy departure hath lauguished in sorrow: Dear father, never were your sorrows Greater than my griefs, Never you so deloate as I comfortless, Yet nevertheless acknowledging myself To be the cause of both, on bended knees I humbly crave your pardon. i'll pardon thee dear daughter; but as for him. Ah father what of him, Assure as I am a king, and wear the crown, I will revenge on that accursed wretch. Yet worthy prince work not thy will in wrath show favour. I, such favour as thou deservest. I do deserve the daughter of a king. Oh impudent, a shepherd and so insolent. No shepherd I, but a worthy prince. In far conceit, not princely borne. Yes princely borne my father is a king. My mother Queen, and of Valentia both. What Mucedorus, welcome to our court, What cause hadst thou to come to me disguised? No cause to fear, I caused no offence, But this desiring thy daughter's virtues for to see Disguised myself from out my father's court, Unknown to any in secret I did rest, And passed many troubles near to death, So hath your daughter my partaker been, As you shall know hereafter more at large, Desiring you, you will give her to me, Even as mine own and sovereign of my life Then shall I think my travels are well spent. With all my heart: but this. Segasto claims my promise made tofore, That he should have her as his only wife, Before my counsel when we came from war Segasto, may I crave thee let it pass. And give Amadine as wife to Mucedorus; With all my heart, were it far a greater thing, And what I may to furnish up there rites, With pleasing sports and pastimes you shall see.
