I had skill To call the winged musitians of the aire Into these roomes! they all should play to thee Till golden slumbers danc'd upon thy browes, Watching to close thine eye-lids. _Ang_. These Starres must shine no more; soule, flye away. Tyrant, enioy but a cold lumpe of clay. _King_. My charmes worke; shee sleepes, And lookes more lovely now she sleepes. Against she wakes, Invention, grow thou poore, Studying to finde a banquet which the gods Might be invited to. I need not court her now For a poor kisse; her lips are friendly now, And with the warme breath sweeting all the Aire, Draw mee thus to them.--Ha! the lips of Winter Are not so cold. _Anton_. She's dead, Sir. _King_. Dead? _Dam_. As frozen as if the North-winde had in spight Snatcht her hence from you. _King_. Oh; I have murthered her! Perfumes some creature kill: she has so long In that darke Dungeon suck't pestiferous breath, The sweete has stifled her. Take hence the body, Since me it hated it shall feele my hate: Cast her into the fire; I have lost her, And for her sake all Christians shall be lost That subjects are to me: massacre all, But thou, _Eugenius_, art the last shall fall This day; and in mine eye, though it nere see more, Call on thy helper which thou dost adore. _A Thunder-bolt strikes him_. _Omnes_.

Bellina and a company of Souldiers with him_. _Hub_. What meanes this cry, 'a Hubert'? Where's your King? _Omnes_. Strucke dead by thunder. _Hub_. So I heare; you see, then, There is an arme more rigorous than your _Iove_, An arme stretcht from above to beate down Gyants, The mightiest Kings on _Earth_, for all their shoulders Carry _Colossi_ heads: the memory Of _Genzericks_ name dyes here: _Henricke_ gives buriall To the successive glory of that race Who had both voyce and title to the Crowne, And meanes to guard it.--Who must now be King? _Anton_. We know not till we call the Lords together. _Hub_. What Lords? _Cosmo_. Our selves and others. _Hub_. Who makes you Lords? The Tree upon whose boughs your honours grew, Your Lordships and your lives, is falne to th'ground. _Dam_. We stand
