t_? _Nurse._ There's all the hope, I have staid him with a trick, If I have done well so. _Lamira._ What trick? _Nurse._ I told him, Your Ladiship laid your command upon him, To attend you presently, and to confirm it, Gave him the ring he oft hath seen you wear, That you bestowed on me: he waits without Disguis'd, and if you have that power in him, As I presume you have, it is in you To stay or alter him. _Lamira._ Have you learnt the place, Where they are to encounter? _Nurse._ Yes 'tis where The Duke of _Burgundie_ met _Lewis_ th' eleventh. _Lamir._ Enough, I will reward thee liberally, [_Exit_ Nurse. Goe bring him in: full dear I loved _Dinant_, While it was lawfull, but those fires are quench'd I being now anothers, truth forgive me And let dissimulation be no crime, Though most unwillingly I put it on To guard a Brothers safetie. _Enter_ Dinant. _Din._ Now your pleasure, Though ill you have deserv'd it, you perceive I am still your fool, and cannot but obey What ever you command. _Lamira._ You speak, as if You did repent it, and 'tis not worth my thanks then, But there has been a time, in which you would Receive this as a favour. _Din._ Hope was left then Of recompence. _Lamira._ Why I am still _Lamira_, And you _Dinant_, and 'tis yet in my power, I dare not say I'le put it into act, To reward your love and service. _Din._ There's some comfort. _Lami._ But think not that so low I prize my fame, To give it up to any man that refuses To buy it, or with danger of performance Of what I shall enjoin him. _Din._ Name that danger Be it of what horrid shape soever Ladie Which I will shrink at; only at this instant Be speedie in't. _Lamira._ I'le put you to the trial: You shall not fight to day, do you start at that? Not with my Brother, I have heard your difference, Mine is no _Helens_ beauty to be purchas'd With blood, and so defended, if you look for Favours from me, deserve them with obedience, There's no way else to gain 'em. _Din._ You command What with mine honour I cannot obey, Which lies at pawn against it, and a friend Equally dear as that, or life, engag'd, Not for himself, but me. _Lamira._ Why, foolish man, Dare you solicite me to serve your lust, In which not only I abuse my Lord, My Father, and my family, but write whore, Though not upon my forehead, in my conscience, To be read hourly, and yet name your honour?
