e me a place, and my Lieutenant make
The filler of it!

_Renel._ I should never looke
For better of him; never trust a man 5
For any justice, that is rapt with pleasure;
To order armes well, that makes smockes his ensignes,
And his whole governments sayles: you heard of late
Hee had the foure and twenty wayes of venerie
Done all before him.

_Bal._ Twas abhorr'd and beastly. 10

_Ren._ Tis more then natures mightie hand can doe
To make one humane and a letcher too.
Looke how a wolfe doth like a dogge appeare,
So like a friend is an adulterer;
Voluptuaries, and these belly-gods, 15
No more true men are then so many toads.
A good man happy is a common good;
Vile men advanc'd live of the common bloud.

_Bal._ Give, and then take, like children!

_Ren._ Bounties are
As soone repented as they happen rare. 20

_Bal._ What should Kings doe, and men of eminent places,
But, as they gather, sow gifts to the graces?
And where they have given, rather give againe
(Being given for vertue) then, like babes and fooles,
Take and repent gifts? why are wealth and power? 25

_Ren._ Power and wealth move to tyranny, not bountie;
The merchant for his wealth is swolne in minde,
When yet the chiefe lord of it is the winde.

_Bal._ That may so chance to our state-merchants too;
Something performed, that hath not farre to goe. 30

_Ren._ That's the maine point, my lord; insist on that.

_Bal._ But doth this fire rage further? hath it taken
The tender tynder of my wifes sere bloud?
Is shee so passionate?

_Ren._ So wilde, so mad,
Shee cannot live and this unwreakt sustaine. 35
The woes are bloudy that in women raigne.
The Sicile gulfe keepes feare in lesse degree;
There is no tyger not more tame then shee.

_Bal._ There is no looking home, then?

_Ren._ Home! Medea
With all her hearbs, charmes, thunders, lightning, 40
Made not her presence and blacke hants more dreadfull.

_Bal._ Come, to the King; if he reforme not all,
Marke the event, none stand where that must fall. _Exeunt._
