ng,
Draw out the full design; which if effected,
I am as I profess.

Gonzalo:

O I applaud
Your ready care, and secresie.

Erota:

_Gonzalo_,
There is a bar yet, 'twixt our hopes and us,
And that must be remov'd.

Gonzalo:

What is't?

Erota:

Old _Cassilane_.

Gonzalo:

Ha? fear not him: I build upon his ruines
Already.

Erota:

I would find a smoother course
To shift him off.

Gonzalo:

As how?

Erota:

We'l talk in private,
I have a ready plot.

Gonzalo:

I shall adore you.

[Exeunt.

[Enter _Fernando_, a[n]d _Annophel_]

Fernando:

Madam, although I hate unnoble practices,
And therefore have perform'd no more than what
I ought, for honours safety: yet _Annophel_,
Thy love hath been the spur, to urge me forward
For speedier diligence.

Annophel:

Sir your own fame
And memory will best reward themselves.

Fernando:

All gain is loss (sweet beauty) if I miss
My comforts here: The Brother and the Sister
Have double conquer'd me, but thou maist triumph.

Annophel:

Good Sir, I have a Father.

Fernando:

Yes, a brave one;
Could'st thou obscure thy beauty, yet the happiness
Of being but his Daughter, were a dower
Fit for a Prince: what say ye?

Annophel:

You have deserv'd
As much as I should grant.

Fernando:

By this fair hand
I take possession.

Annophel:

What in words I dare not,
Imagine in my silence.

Fernando:

Thou art all vertue.

[Enter _Cassilanes_, and _Arcanes_]

Cassilanes:

I'le tell thee how: _Baldwin_ the Emperour,
Pretending title, more through tyranny,
Than right of conquest, or descent, usurp'd
The stile of Lord o're all the _Grecian_ Islands,
And under colour of an amity
With _Creet_, prefer'd the Marquess _Mountferato_
To be our Governor; the _Cretians_ vex'd
By the ambitious _Turks_, in hope of aid
From the Emperour, receiv'd for General,
This _Mountferato_; he (the wars appeased)
Plots with the state of _Venice_ and takes money
Of them for _Candy_: they paid well, he steals
Away in secret; since which time, that right
The
