Why if you remember fellow subject Arbaces, I told you once she was not your sister, I say she looked nothing like you. I think you did good Captain Bessus. Here will arise another question now amongst the Swordmen, whether I be to call him to account for beating me, now he's proved no King. Sir, here's Ligones The Agent for the Armenian King. Where is he, I know your business good Ligones, We must have our King again, and will. I knew that was your business, you shall have Your King again, and have him so again As never King was had. Go one of you And bid Bacurius bring Tigranes hither, And bring the Lady with him, that Panthaea The Queen Panthaa sent me word this morning Was brave Tigranes' mistress. 'tis Spaconia. ay, ay, Spaconia. She is my daughter. she is so, I could now tell any thing I never heard; your King shall go so home As never man went. Shall he go on's head? He shall have Chariots easier than air That I will have invented; and near think He shall pay any ransom; and thyself That art the Messenger shall ride before him On a Horse cut out of an entire Diamond, That shall be made to go with golden wheels, I know not how yet. Why I shall be made For ever, they belied this King with us And said he was unkind. And than thy daughter, She shall have some strange think, we'll have the kingdom Sold utterly, and put into a toy. Which she shall wear about her carelessly somewhere or other. See the virtuous Queen. Behold the humblest subject that you have Kneel here before you. Why kneel you To me that am your vassal? Grant me one request. Alas, what can I grant you? What I can I will. That you will please to marry me, If I can prove it lawful. Is that all? More willingly, than I would draw this air. I'll kiss this hand in earnest. Sir, Tigranes is coming though he made it strange To see the Princess any more. The Queen, Thou meanest: O my Tigranes pardon me, Tread on my neck I freely offer it, And if thou be'st so given; take revenge, For I have injured thee. No, I forgive, And rejoice more that you have found repentance, Than I my liberty. mayst thou be happy In thy fair choice; for thou art temperate: You owe no ransom to the state, know that; I have a thousand joys to tell you of, which yet I dare not utter, till I pay My thanks to Heaven for 'em: will you go with me, and l e me; pray you doe. I will. Take then your fair one with you, and your Queen Of goodness, and of us; O give me leave To take your arm in mine: Come every one That takes delight in goodness, help to sing Loud thanks for me, that I am proved no King.
