ves, Kings and meane men;
I saw no inequality in their places.
Casting mine eye on the other side the Palace,
Thousands I saw my selfe had sent to death;
At which I sigh'd and sob'd, I griev'd and groan'd.
Ingirt with Angels were those glorious Martyrs
Whom this ungentle hand untimely ended,
And beckon'd to me as if heaven had said,
"Beleeve as they and be thou one of them";
At which my heart leapt, for there me thought I saw,
As I suppos'd, you two like to the rest:
With that I wak'd and resolutely vow'd
To prosecute what I in thought had seene.
_Bellina_. 'Twas a sweet dreame; good Sir, make use of it.
_Vict_. And I with _Bellizarius_ am resolv'd
To undergoe the worst of all afflictions,
Where such a glory bids us to performe.
_Belliz_. Now blessings crowne yee both
The first stout Martyr has[149] his glorious end
Though stony-hard yet speedy; when ours comes
I shall tryumph in our affliction.
This adds some comfort to my troubled soule:
I, that so many have depriv'd of breath,
Shall winne two soules to accompany me in death.
[_Exeunt_.
_Actus Tertius_.
_Enter Clowne and Huntsmen severally_.
1 _Hunt_. Ho, rise, sluggards! so, so, ho! so, ho!
2 _Hunt_. So ho, ho! we come.
_Clown_. Morrow, iolly wood-men.
_Omnes_. Morrow, morrow.
_Clown_. Oh here's a Morning like a grey ey'd Wench, able to intice a
man to leap out of his bed if he love hunting, had he as many cornes on
his toes as there are Cuckolds in the City.
1 _Hunt_. And that's enough in conscience to keepe men from going, were
his Boots as wide as the black Iacks[150] or Bombards tost by the Kings
Guard.
2 _Hunt_. Are the swift Horses ready?
_Clown_. Yes, and better fed than taught; for one of 'em had like to
have kickt my iigumbobs as I came by him.
2 _Hunt_. Where are the Dogges?
_Clown_. All coupled, as Theeves going to a Sessions, and are to be
hang'd if they be found faulty.
2 _Hunt_. What Dogges are they?
_Clown_. A packe of the bravest _Spartan_ Dogges in the world; if they
do but once open and spend[151] there gabble, gabble, gabble it will
make the Forest ecchoe as if a Ring of Bells were in it; admirably
flewd[152], by their eares you would take 'em to be singing boyes; and
for Dewlaps they are as bigge as Vintners bags in which they straine
Ipocras.
_Omnes_. There, boy.
_Clown_. And hunt so close and so round together that you may cover
'em all with
