Lucrece shall pardon him, we ha' took our leaves of our wives, nor shall Collatine be before us, though our Ladies in other things come behind you. I must be swayed: the joys and the delights of many thousand nights meet all in one to make my Lucrece happy. I am bound to your strict will, to each good-night. To horse, to horse, Lucrece we cannot rest, Till our hot lust embosom in thy breast. With no unkindness we should our Lords upbraid, Husbands and Kings must always be obeyed. Nothing save the high business of the slate, And the charge given him at Ardea's siege, Could ha' made Collatine so much digress From the affection that he bears his wife. But subjects must excuse when kings claim power. But leaving this before the charm of sleep, Cease with his downy wings: upon my eyes, I must go take account among my servants Of their days task, we must not cherish sloth, No covetous thought makes me thus provident, But to shun idleness, which wise men say, Begets rank lust, and virtue beats away. Return to Rome now we are in the mid way to the Camp? My Lords 'tis business that concerns my life, Tomorrow if we live we'll visit thee. will Sextus enjoin me to accompany him? Or me? Nor you, nor any, 'tis important business And serious occurrences that call me, Perhaps Lords I'll commend you to your wives. Collatine shall I do you any service to your Lucrece? Only commend me. What, no private token to purchase our kind welcome? Would Royal Sextus would but honour me to bear her a slight token. What? This Ring. As I am Royal I will seeet delivered. This Ring to Lucrece shall my love convey, And in this gift thou dost thy bed betray. Tomorrow we shall meet, this night sweet fate, May I prove welcome though a guest ingrate. he's for the city, we for the camp, the night makes the way tedious and melancholy, prithee Valerius a merry song to beguile it. Valer. There was a young man and a maid fell in love, Terry dery ding, terry dery ding, tery tery ding. To get her good will he often did, Terry dery ding, terry dery ding, langtido dillo. There's many will say, and most will allow, terry dery, etc. there's nothing so good as a terry dery dery dery, etc. I would wish all maids before they be sick, terry derie, etc. To inquire for a young man that has a good terry dery, etc. Good Valerius, this has brought us even to the skirts of the camp, enter Lords. This ring, my Lord, hath oped our gates to you, For though I know you for a royal Prince, My sovereign's son, and friend to Collatine: Without that key you had not entered here. More lights, and see a banquet straight provided, My love to my dear husband shall appear, In the kind welcome that I give his friend.
