Honourable? Yes noble youth, thou art the second son To old Lord Euphues, a man more worthy And truly noble never drew this air; Thy name's Lysandro, this discovery Will be as welcome to your friends as you. You do amaze me Sir. I'll tell you all, It was my fortune, twenty a year ago, Upon the Tyrrhene shore, whose sea divides This I'll from Italy, to keep a fort Under your noble father, where yourself Then but a child, was left to my tuition, When suddenly the rude assailing force Of strong Italian Pirates so prevailed, As to surprisal of the fort and us. Your name and noble birth I then concealed, Fearing some outrage from the enmity Of those fell Pirates, and since from yourself I purposely have kept the knowledge of it. As loath to grieve your present misery With knowledge of what fortunes you had lost, That this is true, you straight shall see th'effect, I'll go acquaint your father with the tokens, And make his overjoyed heart leap to embrace Thee his new found and long forgotten son: Worthy Captain, your presence was always Welcome to me, but this unlooked for news, I Cannot suddenly digest. Well I'll go to him presently. Now my dear Luce, I shall find means to quite Thy love, that couldst descend so low as I When I was nothing, and with such affection, This was my suit still to the powers above, To make me worthy of thy constant love. But i'll about the project I intended. Why now my Lord you are nearer to her love then ever you were yet, your rival by this accident shall be removed out of the way, for before the scornful girl would never fancy any man else. I conceive you Sir. I laboured it for your sake as much as for my Own, to remove your rival and my enemy, you Have your love, and I have my revenge. I shall live my Lord to give you thanks, but 'twill be after a strange manner, if Irus has Dispatched what he was hired too, than my kind Lord I shall be a little too cunning for you. My Lord you are gracious with the King. I thank his Majesty, I have his care before another man. Then see no pardon be granted, you may stop any thing; I knew Euphues will be soliciting for his son. I warrant you my Lord no pardon passes whilst I am there, i'll be a bar betwixt him and the King, but hark the King approaches. Health to your Majesty. Count Virro, and Lord Polimetes welcome, You have been strangers at the Court of late; But I can well excuse you Count, you are about a wife, A young one and a fair one too they say, Get me young soldiers Count, but speak When is the day, I mean to be your guest, You shall not steal a marriage.
