This frolic evening, full of silent air, Speaks a success to thy achievements, fair: Both time an opportunity's, benign; The Sun at his departure, seems to smile, My banquet is prepared, which must beguile: No apparitions, no refulgent star, No threatening Comet can our act oppose, No new transfigured meteor disclose Our most heroic humour, and annoy The glad conception of all future joy. Nay, if a plot so well-contrived, so square, So formal, so judicious, should prove Ill-featured, and abortive, I'd forswear All crafty dealing; never would I move, Compassion with repentance; to obtain Most absolute forgiveness, though the King Do then release my criminal attempt, I'd not endear his donative, except With resolution to escape the law, And wreak more ample vengeance on myself, With my own proper hands, through violence. If a design so mature, so concealed, So rich in expectation, so obliged, May now miscarry, and repugnant prove; I'll sure prevent the headsman, hang myself With expedition, hire a mountebank, Some noted empiric, to anatomize My politician corpses, dissect my skull, Boil tongue and heart together in my blood, Effuse them into broth made of my brains, In which, my unctuous kidney-leaf dissolved With my more luscious marrow, may compose A poultice, which will speedily contrive The downfall of erected favourites, Inflame desire then— disannul the ends Which that affection gapes for: I resolve Thus to bequeath my members, to the sect Of those, who narrow inquisition make After each mystic virtue, physical; If our attempts prove not effectual. Then presuppose your project well do thrive, What recompense may Lælio expect, Chief captain of the guard; whose instant blow Gives an advantage so peculiar? That my officious Captain of his guard The cunning wolf hath taught me to reward Resolve the manner, be emphatical. The famished wolf (whom hunger oft endues With belly courage to be valiant) If by adventure his extremity Meets with a beast of more validity. Though less tyrannic rapine then himself, He (practised in such skill pernicious) clay, to make his body ponderous; by at to aequall natures strength, Till he depress, and overcome at length. By which instinct, his booty once obtained, An easy vomit natural doth purge His lumpish maw of that despised earth; Which (after conquest) he thinks little worth: e'en thus the Captain I'll remunerate, And with contempt, I'll recapitulate His humble service; so cashier the hope Of due requital, with a good excuse, We entertain those agents but for use. Here comes my faithful steward; speak what news? The Captain with his military troup, I have appointed to their ambush; they Expect upon my signal (gracious Duke) The king's vaunt-couriers do each testify His glad approach; give ear to Majesty. The most of subjects welcome, to my Liege, Accept our weak endeavour, I beseech; Sit (gracious King) the Cates contain our love. we do accept, and will deserve (my decree) This thy extended free munificence: This plentiful provision I may call, (With licence of our Ethics) Liberal.
