So follow your commission, post away. Now my contentious brain revolve the tax Imposed (upon thy blessing) to surprise, And spoil the ruddy blossom of our age; Fair Favovrina that Angel-like dame A Equal for beauty, for unmatched fame; With Saintlike Venus (by Appelles drawn) This queen's espousals have I undertook To disunite, by a most impious act Of murder; but alas I am enthralled With true libidinous fervour; am enforced By lustful hot invasions to decline; Which punctually tempt me to avoid The colourable death of whom I love, Our sweet Cycnaean Goddess; the fair Queen; Whose body I'll enjoy with privilege, (I will enjoy with hazard of my death) Whilst every man imagine she is dead. Gracchus the Eunuch did I entertain Commodiously forecasting an exploit Wherewith to muffle up the serpent-eyes Of probable suspicion: Like the Fuller Who cannot live by cloth must live by colour. But see, observe the beautiful approach Of my commanding object: bless me fate. What makes Amilcar so obsequious? Damsels depart. Yes, rather, so, than maids. Amilcar. Madam. Thy grave countenance Trussed up in such a formal cognisance, With front composed; so perpendicular Directing steady aim at open gaze, Your longing silence doth detect; as if The business should concern my audience: in faith, in-faith, you are disconsolate. Yes, but my meaning is immaculate Like the forgotten primitive attempts, When all things were accounted innocence. O might the wrathful arrogance of some (Who by a peevish-tutored vehemence, Conspire in habit of corrivalship Against one pious beauty) be so far From prejudicial meaning as myself The age and Kingdom both might live secure: Madam, I can disclose a prodigy That appertains to you. Deliver it. Have you then female fortitude enough, A most resolved courage, to conceive, To apprehend a passion that will wound Nay penetrate, the fabric of the soul? Shoot through the centre of thy trembling blood? Infuse five shaking palsies mutual Before I finish the first period? Give then a quick release; I am resolved: Tormênt me not with idle circumstance, Begin this tale of prodigy. Hark heaven; How careless she accounts of accident, Grief, and this woman be familiar I think, and well acquainted. When begins The prodigy you spoke of? 'Twill amaze The organs of attention Madam: yet Seeing you enforce and covet misery, You shall no longer be withheld: then thus: But I beseech thee Queen remember well These admonitions that exemplify The horror of my following discourse. Imagine whilst you do ingurgitate My poisoned sops the beauty of your sense Of your ingenious parts (all donatives Of Nature's bounty, and the Gods above) Imagine they'll be changed with violence With unresisted lunacy; so long, Until each spirit leave her function: Till with a surfeit you surcease to live Neglecting mundane solace; be transformed Into a lifeless image, all thy veins And vital arteries being stopped with fear: Thus much remember Queen I do premise.
