my Daughter. _Gal_. And, Sir, remember that I am your Daughter. _Org_. And shall the Traitor live that murder'd her? _Gal_. And will you by his Death, Sir, murder me? In dear _Erminia's_ Death too much is done; If you revenge that Death, 'tis two for one. _Org_. Ah, Sir, to let him live's unjust in you. _Gal_. And killing me, you more injustice do. _Org. Alcippus_, Madam, merits not your Love, That could so cruel to _Erminia_ prove. _Gal_. If Lovers could be rul'd by Reason's Laws, For this complaint on him we'ad had no cause. 'Twas Love that made him this rash act commit; Had she been kind, 't had taught him to submit. --But might it not your present Griefs augment, I'd say that you deserve this punishment, By forcing her to marry with the General; By which you have destroy'd _Philander_ too, And now you would _Alcippus'_ Life undo. _Org_. That was a fault of duty to your Majesty. _King_. Though that were honest, 'twere not wisely done; For had I known the passion of my Son, And how essential 'twas to his content I willingly had granted my consent; Her Worth and Beauty had sufficient been T'ave rais'd her to the Title of a Queen. Did not my glorious Father, great _Gonzal_, Marry the Daughter of his Admiral? And I might to my Son have been as kind, As then my Father did my Grandsire find. _Org_. You once believ'd that I had guilty been, And had the Punishment, but not the Sin; I suffer'd when 'twas thought I did aspire, And should by this have rais'd my crimes yet higher. _King_. How did _Philander_ take _Erminia's_ death? _Gal_. My own surprize and grief was so extream, I know not what effects it had in him; But this account of him, I'm forc'd to give, Since she is dead, I know he cannot live. _King_. I'll know _Philander's_ fate e'er I proceed; And if he die, _Alcippus_ too shall bleed. [_Exeunt_. SCENE VIII. _The Gallery_. _Enter_ Falatius _and_ Labree. _Fal_. Wert thou never valiant, _Labree_? _Lab_. Yes, Sir, before I serv'd you, and since too: I Am provok'd to give you proofs on't sometimes; For when I am angry I am a very Hector. _Fal_. Ay, the Devil when a body's angry, but that's Not the Valour in mode; Men fight now a-days Without that, and even embrace whilst they draw Their Swords on one another. _Lab_. Ay, Sir, those are Men that despise their lives. _Fal_. Why, that's it, _Labree_, that I would learn
