(All men amazed with such a sudden chance) I will suborn a simple idiot (Being first obliged by bounty) to confess That he through wicked instigation Of my most infamous stepdame, did attempt, Nay finish the supposed murder; then That mere compunction did enforce the tale; To mitigate, his wound of conscience. So he may hazard life being innocent. No, he may craftily insert a boon Which will avoid the danger of his life. He shall beseech his death may be deferred Till my unlawful mother by the Law Taste execution, or he will profess Obstinate silence; so conceal the place Of your pretended burial; the King Nor any man alive may this deny; But I'll instruct him when he doth espy Occasion; this to manifest aloud The Queen doth live, though I were tempted oft By that malicious woman, now deprived Of natural bad parts, by righteous death, (Meaning my mother who shall then be dead) To slay whom I preserved, this hopeful Queens. The plot provokes me to esteem revenge Above all earthly blessing; and embrace The subtle virtue of a painted face. Subtle indeed, for my pretence implies Nothing but foggy mist to blind her eyes; When fair temptation's weak; surprisal must Give satisfaction to my flaming lust. Most opportunely did you pre-acquaint My place with a design so requisite. Captain, you have well eased my anxious fear But bounty shall remunerate thy care: The title Viceroy (Captain) doth attend To countervail thy meritorious act: The famine doth already tyrannize. What policy procures the famishment? All insurrection do I disappoint, Subdue resistance, mollify the fierce And peevish overlooking multitude By a substraction of their usual food Which will discourage appetite to war: But unexpected liberality, And satisfaction of their empty maws With rich abundance after penury, It will enchain the base to loyalty. A project most irreprehensible. The chiefest onset doth belong to you: Do you conceive a full advertisement For each proceeding? punctually relate How your conceit doth apprehend me sir. To supper you'll invite the honest King— Honest? I; simple, indiscreet, blood-raw, Of small experience to beguile, suspect, Frown, laugh, kill, flatter with a tyrant's face; A King too-open-breasted for this age; And so the world doth honest men accounted By way of high reproach. Smooth Orator, Ingeniously well worded is thy speech: May not the sequel perish, now proceed. To supper you'll invite this honest King; He (not misdoubting homebred violence) With a select strong military troop I, and the Guard together, will invade Murder (amidst the cups and Magistrates) Him; who shall surfeit of each fatal wound; Shall rather die than see Pheudippe crowned. Captain, thy apprehension is acute Thus bounty will oblige men resolute: Withdraw, your several reward is future; A pregnant Pupil thrives without his Tutor. The popular invective doth exclaim Upon Pheudippe; swear with open voice He bred this famine.
