Your own, my liege, we like inferior lights Take life from your reflection, for like stars Unto the sun, are Counsellors to Kings: He feeds their orbs with fire, and their shine Contend to make his glory more divine. And such are we to great Anthonio. The veins and arteries of Anthonio Through which the blood of greatness flows in us. Our life, and cause efficient of our state, And these our pretty partners in exile. We ha' yet performed but the least part of duty, Your reinstallment: it rests, that with our blood, We keep out innovative violence. You new-create me, and breath second life Into my dying bosom, knew my soon Of this unlooked-for Fortune, but ill Fate Has played the Traitor, and given up his life To coward treason. udsfoot what offence have I committed against the state, that these iron-handed Plebeians so applaud me for? 'tis a sign they love you. I had rather thy should hate me, it makes me suspect my bosom, for they love none, but the masters of factions, treasons, and innovations. Then you do not love the Commons. Yes, as wise men do their flattering wives, only for show: the popular voice is like a cry of bawling hounds, and they get the foot of a fantastic and popular-affecting statesman, they never leave him, till they have chased him into disgrace, & then, like hounds, are at a loss, and with their loss, see, I have found my father, safety attend you. Welcome thou hope of Mantua and of us, We now are honours new beginners boy, And may we better thrive then heretofore. Never doubt it father, I have attractive stuff that will draw customers. What Lady's that. One that has played the part of a Constable, brought you home a Runaway. A friend of mine Father, but daughter to your Arch-enemy. Octauio's daughter? Yes faith, you are out with the Father, and i'll see if I can fall in with the daughter. And am I not a good child to leave my father's love at six and seven, and hazard my honour upon your sons naked promise, and your hopeful acceptance. She has followed me through much danger. The better welcome, I love her for't. Like her and you please, id'e have nobody love her but myself. And Lady, though your Father be our foe, The virtuous love betwixt our son and you, May ne'ertheless retain his sympathy. Shall ne'ertheless retain his sympathy, Anthonio know I am loves resolute, Confirmed and grounded in affection: I loved your son, not for he was a Prince, But one no better than his present fortunes, I'll love him still, since first I loved him so, Let Father, friends, and all the world say no. There's mettle Father, how can we choose but get cocking children, when father and mother too are both of the game. To arms my Lord, Octavio comes in arms To give a proud assault unto the City.
