_Thes._ Lo, where our Sister is in expectation, Yet quaking, and unsetled: fairest _Emilia_, The gods by their Divine arbitrament Have given you this Knight, he is a good one As ever struck at head: Give me your hands; Receive you her, you him, be plighted with A love that grows, as you decay.

_Arcite. Emily._ To buy you I have lost what's dearest to me, Save what is bought, and yet I purchase cheaply, As I do rate your value.

_Thes._ Oh loved Sister, He speaks now of as brave a Knight as e'er Did spur a noble Steed: surely the gods Would have him die a batchelor, lest his race Should show i'th' world too godlike: his behaviour So charm'd me, that methought _Alcides_ was To him a Sow of Lead: if I could praise Each part of him to th' all I have spoke, your _Arcite_ Did not lose by't; for he that was thus good Encountred yet his Better, I have heard Two emulous Philomels, beat the ear o'th' night With their contentious throats, now on[e] the higher, Anon the other, then again the first, And by and by out-breasted, that the sense Could not be judge between 'em: so it far'd Good space between these kinsmen; till heavens did Make hardly one the winner: wear the Garland With joy that you have won: for the subdu'd, Give them our present Justice, since I know Their lives but pinch 'em, let it here be done: The Scene's not for our seeing, goe we hence, Right joyful, with some sorrow. Arm your prize, I know you will not lose her: _Hippolita_ I see one eye of yours conceives a tear The which it will deliver. [_Florish._

_Emil._ Is this winning? Oh all you heavenly powers, where is your mercy? But that your wills have said it must be so, And charge me live to comfort this unfriended, This miserable Prince that cuts away A life more worthy from him, than all women; I should, and would die too.

_Hip._ Infinite pity That four such eyes should be so fix'd on one That two must needs be blind for't.

_Thes._ So it is. [_Exeunt._

_Scena Quarta._

_Enter_ Palamon _and his Knights pinion'd: Jailor_ _Executioner_, &c. _Gard._

[_Pal._] There's many a man alive that hath out-liv'd The love o' th' people, yea, i'th' self-same state Stands many a Father with his child; some comfort We have by so considering: we expire And not without mens pity. To live still, Have their good wishes, we prevent The lothsome misery of age, beguile The Gout and Rheum, that in lag hours attend For grey approachers; we come towards the gods Young, and unwapper'd, not halting under Crimes Many and stale: that sure shall please the gods Sooner than such, to give us Nectar with 'em, For we are more clear Spirits. My dear kinsmen. Whose lives (for this poor comfort) are laid down, You have sold 'em too too cheap.

_1 K._ What ending could be Of more content? o'er us the victors have Fortune, whose Title is as momentary, As to us death is certain: a grain of honor They not o'er-weigh us.

_2 K._ Let us bid farewel; And, with our patience, anger tott'ring Fortune, Who at her certain'st reels.

_3 K._ Come: who begins?

_Pal._ Ev'n he that led you to this Banquet, shall Taste to you all: ah ha my Friend, my Friend, Your gentle daughter gave me freedom once; You'll see't done now for ever: pray how does she? I heard she was not well; her kind of ill Gave me some sorrow.

_Jail._ Sir, she's well restor'd, And to be married shortly.

_Pal._ By my short life I am most glad on't; 'tis the latest thing I shall be glad of, prethee tell her so: Commend me to her, and to piece her portion Tender her this.

_1 K._ Nay, let's be offerers all.

_2 K._ Is it a maid?

_Pal._ Verily I think so, A right good creature, more to me deserving Than I can quight or speak of.

_All K._ Commend us to her. [_They give their purses._

_Jail._ The gods requite you all, And make her thankful.

_Pal._ Adieu; and let my life be now as short, As my leave taking. [_Lies on the Block._

_1 K._ Lead courageous Cosin.

_1, 2 K._ We'll follow cheerfully.

[_A great noise within, crying, run, save, hold._

_Enter in haste a Messenger._

_Mess._ Hold, hold, oh hold, hold, hold.

_Enter_ Pirithous _in haste_.

_Pir._. Hold, hoa: It is a cursed haste you made If you have done so quickly: noble _Palamon_, The gods will shew their glory in a life That thou art yet to lead.

_Pal._ Can that be, When _Venus_ I have said is false? How do things fare?

_Pir._ Arise great Sir, and give the tidings ear That are most early sweet, and bitter.

_Pal._ What Hath wak't us from our dream?

_Pir._ List then: your Cosin Mounted upon a Steed that _Emily_ Did first bestow on him, a black one, owing Not a hayr worth of white, which some will say Weakens his price, and many will not buy His goodness with this note: Which superstition Hear finds allowance: On this horse is _Arcite_ Trotting the stones of _Athens_, which the _Calkins_ Did rather tell, than trample; For the horse Would make his length a mile, if't pleas'd his Rider To put pride in him: as he thus went counting The flinty pavement, dancing as t'were to'th' Musick His own hoofs made; (For as they say from iron Came Musicks origen) what envious Flint, Cold as old _Saturne_, and like him possest With fire malevolent, darted a Spark, Or what feirce sulphur else, to this end made, I comment not; The hot horse, hot as fire, Took Toy at this, and fell to what disorder His power could give his will, bounds, comes on end, Forgets school dooing, being therein train'd, And of kind mannage, pig-like he whines At the sharp Rowell, which he frets at rather Than any jot obeyes; Seeks all foul means Of boystrous and rough Jad'rie, to dis-seat His Lord, that kept it bravely: When nought serv'd, When neither Curb would crack, girth break, nor diff'ring plunges Dis-root his Rider whence he grew, but that He kept him 'tween his legs, on his hind hoofs on end he stands That _Arcites_ legs being higher than his head Seem'd with strange art to hang: His victors wreath Even then fell off his head: And presently Backward the jade comes o'er, and his full poyze Becomes the Riders load: Yet is he living, But such a vessell 'tis that floats but for The surge that next approaches: He much desires To have some speech with you: Loe he appears.

_Enter Theseus, Hippolita, Emilia, Arcite, in a chair._

_Pal._ O miserable end of our alliance The gods are mightie _Arcite_, if thy heart, Thy worthie, manly heart be yet unbroken: Give me thy last words, I'm _Palamon_, One that yet loves thee dying.

_Arc._ Take _Emilia_ And with her, all the worlds joy: Reach thy hand, Farewell: I have told my last hour; I was false, Yet never treacherous: Forgive me Cosen: One kiss from fair _Emilia_: 'Tis done: Take her: I die.

_Pal._ Thy brave soul seek _Elizium_.

_Emil._ I'll close thine eyes, Prince; Blessed souls be with thee Thou art a right good man, and while I live, This day I give to tears.

_Pal._ And I to honor.

_These._ In this place first you fought: Even very here I sundred you, acknowledg to the gods Our thanks that you are living: His part is play'd, and though it were too short He did it well: your day is length'ned, and The blissfull dew of heaven do's arowze you: The powerfull _Venus_, well hath grac'd her Altar, And given you your love: Our Master _Mars_, Hast vouch'd his Oracle, and to _Arcite_, gave The grace of the Contention: So the Deities Have shew'd due justice: Bear this hence.

_Pal._ O Cosen, That we should things desire, which doe cost us The loss of our desire; That nought could buy Dear love, but loss of dear love.

_Thes._ Never Fortune Did play a subtler Game: The conquer'd triumphs, The victor has the Loss: yet in the passage, The gods have been most equall: _Palamon_, Your kinsman hath confest the right o'th' Lady Did lye in you, for you first saw her, and Even then proclaim'd your fancie: He restor'd her As your stolen Jewell, and desir'd your spirit To send him hence forgiven; The gods my justice Take from my hand, and they themselves become The Executioners: Lead your Lady off; And call your Lovers from the stage of death, Whom I adopt my Friends. A day or two Let us look sadly, and give grace unto The Funerall of _Arcite_, in whose end The visages of Bridegroomes we'll put on And smile with _Palamon_; For whom an hour, But one hour since, I was as dearly sorry, As glad of _Arcite_: And am now as glad, As for him sorry. O you heavenly Charmers, What things you make of us? For what we lack We laugh, for what we have, are sorry still, Are children in some kind. Let us be thankefull For that which is, and with you leave dispute That are above our question: Let's goe off, And bear us like the time. [_Florish. Exeunt._

EPILOGUE.

_I would now aske ye how ye like the Play,_ _But as it is with School Boys, cannot say,_ _I 'm cruell fearefull: pray yet stay a while,_ _And let me look upon ye: No man smile?_ _Then it goes hard I see; He that has_ _Lov'd a young hansome wench then, show his face:_ _'Tis strange if none be here, and if he will_ _Against his Conscience let him hiss and kill_ _Our Market: 'Tis in vain, I see to stay ye,_ _Have at the worst can come, then; Now what say ye?_ _And yet mistake me not: I am not bold_ _We have no such cause. If th' tale we have told_ _(For 'tis no other) any way content ye_ _(For to that honest purpose it was ment ye)_ _We have our end; And ye shall have ere long_ _I dare say many a better, to prolong_ _Your old loves to us: We, and all our might,_ _Rest at your service, Gentlemen, good night._

[Florish.

APPENDIX.

_In the following references to the text the lines are numbered from the top of the page, including titles, acts, stage directions, &c., but not, of course, the headline or mere 'rules.' Where, as in the lists of Persons Represented,_ _there are double columns, the right-hand column is numbered after the left._

It has not been thought necessary to record the correction of every turned letter nor the substitution of marks of interrogation for marks of exclamation and _vice versâ_. Full-stops have been silently inserted at the ends of speeches and each fresh speaker has been given the dignity of a fresh line: in the double-columned folio the speeches are frequently run on. Misprints in the Quartos and the First Folio are recorded when they appear to be interesting. A word or two from the printed text is attached to the variants recorded below in cases where the variant, by itself, would not be sufficiently clear. Altered punctuation is shown, usually, by printing the old punctuation.

CUPID'S REVENGE.

=A= = the 1615 quarto. =B= = the 1630 quarto. =C= = the 1635 quarto. =D= = the 2nd folio.

Mrs Arnold Glover has kindly collated the three quartos in the Dyce collection, for the purpose of the following notes; and Mr R.F. Towndrow has kindly collated the three in the Bodleian.

The _Printer_ to the _Reader_.

_It is a custome used by some Writers in this Age to Dedicate their Playes to worthy persons, as well as their other works; and there is reason for it, because they are the best Minervaes of their braine, and expresse more puritie of conceit in the ingenious circle of an Act or Scæne, then is to be found in the vast circumference of larger Volumnes; and therefore worthy an answerable Mecænas, to honour and bee honoured by them. But not [h]aving any such Epistle from the Authour (in regard I am not acquainted with him) I have made bolde my_ _selfe, without his consent to dedicate this Play to the Juditious in generall, of what degree soever; not insinuating herein with any, be they never so great, that want judgement, for to them it belongs not, though they pay for it, more then in this respect, that like_ Æsops _Cocke, having met with a precious Stone by accident, they knew not the true use thereof, but had rather have a Barlie-corne to their humour, then a perfect Diamond. But leaving them to their ignorance_, I _once againe dedicate this Booke to the Juditious, some whereof_ I _have heard commend it to be excellent, who, because they saw it Acted, and knew what they spake, are the better to be beleeved: and for my part I censure it thus, That_ I _never red a better_.
