Though I were Empresse of the spacious world Ide lay my selfe and kingdome at thy feet. Live, noble Philip, joy some happy match; Tis my unworthinesse makes me deny thee. _Phil_. Thinkst thou, because thy face is spotted, so Thou art not worthy of thy Philips love? Thy face to me was but a Mar[e]s[c]hall To lodge thy sacred person in my mind, Which long agoe is surely chambred there. And now what needs an outward Harbinger? I doe affect, not superficially: My love extendeth further than the skin. The inward Bellamira tis I seeke, And unto her will Philip be espousde. _Nav_. Oh admirable love! _Lew_. O my deare sonne, Thou makest me famous by thy loyalty. _Rod_. I never heard the like. _Pem_. Pen never writ A worthyer Story to posterity. _Ferd_.--Pen never writ of a more treacherous friend Then, Pembrooke, thou hast prov'd to Ferdinand. _Phil_. Sweet Love, prepare thee to be Philips Bryde; For heere I sweare, as I am royall borne, Ile marry thee before the mornings Sunne Hath runne the third part of his glorious course. Father, good night; deare friends, deare Love, good night: Mariage, I hope, will make my spirits more light. [_Exit_. _Nav_. Good night, sweet son. King Lewes, stay with me; Be thou my comforter, Ile comfort thee. [_Exeunt kings_. _Ferd_. Pembrook, remember that thou faile me not. [_Exit_. _Pem_. O God, what may these moody lookes intend? Me thinks, I should have better from my friend. [_Exit_. _Bel_. Now, Bellamira, thou hast time to thinke Upon these troublous matters. Should I suffer So brave a Gentleman as Philip is To wed himselfe to my unworthy selfe, It would be counted vertue in the Prince But I were worthy of a world of blame. No, Philip, no; thou shalt not wrong thine honour Nor be impeacht by Bellamiraes spots. In some disguise Ile steale away to-night And ne're appeare more in my Philips sight. [_Exit_. _Actus Tertius_. [SCENE 1.] _Enter Dicke Bowyer_. _Bow_. There is no toyle to this walkinge of the Round. S'hart, I have been stumbling up and downe all this night like a Brewers horse that has ne're a good eye in his head. Tis as darke as Pitch: I can resemble our Campe to nothing better then hell, save that in hell they are always waking and heere the villaynes are as drowsie as swyne. Lieutenant
