And I, Now comes my que, my Lord Polimetes, under correction let me ask one question. What question? speak. if this young Lord Should liue, would you bestow your Daughter Willingly upon him, would you Lord? As willingly as I would breathe myself. Then dry all your eyes, heare shall haue a cause to weeke, is sau'd, Leucothoe is no Heir, Her brother lives, and that clears you Count Virro murder. How, lives? Yes lives to call thee brother Philocles. Oh my dear Brother. My son, Welcome from death. Pardon me good my Lord that I thus long Have from your knowledge kept myself concealed, My end was honest. I see 'twas, And now son Philocles give me thy hand, Here take thy wife, she loves thee I dare swear, And for the wrong that I intended thee, Her portion shall be double what I meant it. I thank your Lordship. Brother Euphues, I hope all enmity is now forgot Betwixt our houses. Let it be ever so, I do embrace your love. Well my life is saved yet, though my wench be lost, God give you joy. Thanks good my Lord. How suddenly this tragic scene is charged, And turned to Comedy 'tis very strange. Let us conclude within. Stay, And take my joy with you. His Majesty Is coming down, let us attend. These jars are well closed up, now Philocles, What my rash oath denied me, this blessed hour And happy accident has brought to pass, The saving of thy life. A life my Liege, That shall be ever ready to be spent Upon your service. Thanks good Philocles, But where's the man whose happy presence brought All this unlooked for sport: where is Eugenio? Here my dread Liege. Welcome to Syracuse, Welcome Eugenio, prithee ask some boon That may requite the good that thou hast done. I thank your Majesty, what I have done Needs no requital, but I have a suit Unto Lord Euphues, please it your Majesty To be to him an intercessor for me, I make no question but I shall obtain. What is it? speak, it shall be granted thee. That it would please him to bestow on me His Niece, the fair and virtuous Lady Leda. With all my heart, I know 'twill please her well, I have often heard her praise Eugenio, It shall be done within. Then here all strife ends, I'll be your guest myself today, and help To solemnize this double marriage. Your royal presence shall much honour us. Then lead away, the happy knot you tie, Concludes in love two houses enmity. Our author's heir if it be legitimate 'tis his, if not, he dares the worst of fate, For if a Bastard, charity is such, That what you give, it cannot be too much, And he, and we, vow if it may be shown, To do as much for yours, as for our own.
