home
As never man went.

_Mar_.

Shall he goe on's head?

_Arb_.

He shall have Chariots easier than ayre
That I will have invented; and nere thinke
He shall pay any ransome; and thy selfe
That art the Messenger shall ride before him
On a Horse cut out of an entire Diamond,
That shall be made to goe with golden wheeles,
I know not how yet.

_Lig_.

Why I shall be made
For ever, they belied this King with us
And sayd he was unkind.

_Arb_.

And then thy daughter,
She shall have some strange thinke, wele have the Kingdome
Sold utterly, and put into a toy.
Which she shall weare about her carelesly
Some where or other.
See the vertuous Queene.

_Enter Pan_.

Behold the humblest subject that you have
Kneele here before you. _Pan_. Why kneele you
To me that am your vassall?

_Arb_.

Grant me one request.

_Pan_.

Alas, what can I grant you?
What I can I will.

_Arb_.

That you will please to marry me,
If I can prove it lawfull.

_Pan_.

Is that all?
More willingly, then I would draw this ayre.

_Arb_.

Ile kisse this hand in earnest.

_Mar_.

Sir, _Tigranes_ is comming though he made it strange
To see the Princesse any more.

_Arb_.

The Queene,

_Enter Tig. and Spa_.

Thou meanest: O my Tigranes pardon me,
Tread on my necke I freely offer it,
And if thou beest so given; take revenge,
For I have injur'd thee.

_Tig_.

No, I forgive,
And rejoice more that you have found repentance,
Then I my libertie.

_Arb_.

Maist thou be happie
In thy faire choice; for thou art temperate:
You owe no ransome to the state, know that;
I have a thousand joyes to tell you of,
Which yet I dare not utter, till I pay
My thankes to Heaven for um: will you goe
With me, and helpe me; pray you doe.

_Tig_.

I will.

_Arb_.

Take then your faire one with you and your Queene
Of goodnesse, and of us; O give me leave
To take your arme in mine: Come every one
That takes delight in goodnesse, helpe to sing
Loude thankes for me, that I am prov'd no King.
