Schahin, the Macedons beholding to thee, And history shall pay you thanks for this, Which we rest Debtors for. Great Prince, such kindness of acceptance pays: For things which are but for a King's delight, In seeing them, he amply doth requite. Eumorphe, Love, Queen, Wife, let's haste to Bed! And may we wish this night eternal time, Schahin, good night: good night (kind Gentlemen!) Thus when we are dead shall we revive o'th' stage: One hour can present a King's whole age. Observed you not the King's looks? Grew they not pale? O yes (Lord Schahin) you must be his Parent? And snatch him out'h the Gulf he's falling in, That feigned speech of Alexander's wrought Like to most purging Physic, nights then black When 'tis compared with day: Boldness is clear, When 'tis presented before bastard fear. I'll tell thee (Eurenoses) thou art a Soldier: And I am both a Soldier, and a Scholar, And for these two Professions, am both most glorious: And most meritorious, Pallas is for both: O what Tisiphone, what snaked scourge Can make a Scholar, that should never sleep, But 'twixt the Pillows of Parnassus Hils, And dip his lips in springs of Helicon, Make him by snoring on a wanton breast, And suck the adulterate and spiced breath Of a lewd feigned woman? And for a Soldier (Schahin,) let me speak! We that do know the use of swords, and fire, We that do know, halters can throttle us, Shall we ere venture on a Woman's cruelty? We that endure no Lords, shall we endure: A woman to overcome us? Most true Demophoon! I reverence thy memory, no puling phrase Could so euchaine thee to thy Thracian Dame, But thou wouldst rather perish than she save thee. I'll not declaim long on that common Theame, But they have lust lieth in their finger's ends, And whilst their sweet-hearts breath sticks in their sheets, They will admit another. Lucrece in the day To be a Thais, if the night will not gainsay. Why (Eurenoses) why should we endure A new Queen now? this Kingdom wants not heirs? We know (should we have more) 'twere dangerous, But hark! The Queens for Bed, enticing sleep With charms of Music: well, even such a Night, May yet prove dismal ere the following Light! Scahin, let's in: The first degree to purge such ills as these, Is to instruct the patient his disease: That you have done. Yea, and will yet once more Adventure a new stratagem, just when the King H'as rid his Chamber, and with covetous haste Thinks for to clip Elysium, and drink deep Of his long wished delight, I having skill And uncontrolled access, will in disguise Seem his deceased Father's apparition: And by all ties of children to their Parents, Bid him forsake that vile bewitching woman.
