thoust won our credit, bear a noble mind About thee, then to find me forward trust This night when sleep triumphant hath subdued Her wakeful subjects, and the midnight clock Sounded full twelve, in this appointed place, Expect my presence, and till then adieu Our next shall be a tragic interview. The first is cared for— here a second comes, Assist me thou quick jssue of Ioues brain, And this one night shall make their labours vain. It shall be so, my fears are too to great, To join all in one onset: a strong band Shall with a circle 'em the traitor round, And intercept the passage of their flight; How now? from whence comest thou? what at thou? A Liegman to Achomates. To me? Yet noble Prince, and one whose life is vowed To further your desert, and therefore yours. We thank you, and pray you leave us. I can unfold an easy stratagem, Would crown the hopes of great Achomates. What means the fellow? To secure your state By Selimus his fall. What is't thou breathest? Speak it again, for many careful thoughts Possess my soul, that every blessed voice, Steals in the passage 'twixt my ear and haste, By Selimus his fall, to secure my state? I can: Delude me not, and I will rain Such an unmeasured plenty in thy lap, Heap such continual honours on thy head That thou shouldst snrinke, and stagger with the weight. judge of the means; this night I have induced Young Selimus to walk forth in this grove, At the twelfe hour, in hope to meet you here▪ Where having urged a combat, and both met In eager conflict I have pawned my vow. To rush from yonder thicket, and with him join against you. Villain. And devils had, My heart made promise with my tongue, But heaven bear witness that my soul affects None but Achomates, try but my faith, And meet this foe, whom I have baited thus, With golden hopes, and you will find my deed In your defence all promise shall succeed. I'm resolved soldier, when day is past▪ And the full fancies of mortality Busie in dreams and playing visions, At the sad melancholy hour of twelve, I'll meet thee in this plain. And you shall find Me here before you. Be so; Who denies To strike in time, can seldom hope to rise, These two will meet, and I must take both parts. Now for a trick to send them both to hell, In the full growth of expectation; Heavens know they have deserved it than 'twould be An happy murder: and behold the men Whom I have decreed should do it, once again I must betake me to my former note; Health to the friends of our great Emperor, The three strong pillars that uphold true worth. Sir, your intrusion is unseasonable. And your salute, impardonably bold. Perhaps the news I bring, may frame excuse For both these faults. Speak out thy mind in brief.

Th'ast wonne our credit, beare a noble mind About thee, then to find me forward trust This night when sleepe triumphant hath subdu'd Her wakefull subjects, and the midnight clocke Sounded full twelue, in this appointed place, Expect my presence, and till then adiew Our next shall be a tragicke enterview. The first is car'd for—here a second comes, Assist me thou quicke jssue of Ioues braine, And this one night shall make their labors vaine. It shal be so, my feares are too to great, To joyne all in one on-set: a strong band Shall with a circle hem the traytor round, And intercept the passage of their flight; How now? from whence com'st thou? what at thou? A Lieg-man to Achomates. To mee? Yet noble Prince, and one whose life is vowd To further your desert, and therefore yours. We thanke you, and pray you leaue vs. I can vnfold an easie straagem, Would crowne the hopes of great Achomates. What means the fellow? To secure your state By Selymus his fall. What i'st thou breath'st? Speake it againe, for many carefull thoughts Possesse my soule, that euery blessed voice, Steales in the passage twixt my eare and hast, By Selymus his fall, to secure my state? I can: Delude me not, and I will raine Such n vnmeasured plenty in thy lap, Heape such continuall honors on thy head That thou shouldst snrinke, and stagger with the weight. Iudge of the meanes; this night I haue induc'd Young Selymus to walke foorth in this groue, At the twelfe houre, in hope to meete you here▪ Where hauing vrg'd a combat, and both met In ager conflict I haue pawn'd my vow. To rush from yonder thicket, and with him Ioyne against you. Villaine. And deuils had, My heart made promise with my tongue, But heauen beare witnesse that my soule affects None but Achomates, try but my faith, And meete this foe, whom I haue bayted thus, With golden hopes, and you will ind my deed In your defence all promise shall succeed. I'm resolu'd souldier, when day is past▪ And the full fancies of mortalitie Busie n dreames and playing visions, At the sad melancholly houre of twelue, Ile meete thee in this plaine. And you shall find Me here before you. Be so; Who denyes To strike in time, can seldome hope to rise, These two will meete, and I must take both parts. Now for a tricke to send them both to hell, In the full growth of expectation; Heauens know they haue deseru'd it then 'twould be An happy murder: and behold the men Whom haue decreed should doe it, once againe I must betake me to my former note; Health to the friends of our great Emperor, The three strong pillars that vphold true worth. Sir, your intrusion is vnseasonable. And your salute, impardonably bold. Perhaps the newes I bring, may frame excuse For both these faults. Speake out thy mind in briefe.
