Chapter 10

PHI. Royall Sir, Receive into your bosome your desired peace, Those discontented mutineares be appeasde, And this fortaigne Prince in safety.

K. How happie am I in thee _Phylaster_? Whose excellent vertues begets a world of love, I am indebted to thee for a Kingdome. I here surrender up all Soveraignetie, Raigne peacefully with thy espoused Bride,

[_Delivers his Crowne to him_.

Ashume my Son to take what is thy due.

PHA. How Sir, yer son, what am I then, your Daughter you gave to me.

KIN. But heaven hath made asignement unto him, And brought your contract to anullity: Sir, your entertainment hath beene most faire, Had not your hell-bred lust dride up the spring, From whence flow'd forth those favours that you found: I am glad to see you safe, let this suffice, Your selfe hath crost your selfe.

LEON. They are married sir.

PHAR. How married? I hope your highnesse will not use me so, I came not to be disgraced, and returne alone.

KING. I cannot helpe it sir.

LEON. To returne alone, you neede not sir, Here is one will beare you company. You know this Ladies proofe, if you Fail'd not in the say-taging.

ME. I hold your scoffes in vildest base contempt, Or is there said or done, ought I repent, But can retort even to your grinning teeths, Your worst of spights, tho Princesse lofty steps May not be tract, yet may they tread awry, That boy there--

BEL. If to me ye speake Lady, I must tell you, you have lost your selfe In your too much forwardnesse, and hath forgot Both modesty and truth, with what impudence You have throwne most damnable aspertions On that noble Princesse and my selfe: witnesse the world; Behold me sir. [_Kneeles to_ LEON, _and discovers her haire_.

LEON. I should know this face; my daughter.

BEL. The same sir.

PRIN. How, our sometime Page, _Bellario_, turn'd woman?

BEL. Madame, the cause induc't me to transforme my selfe, Proceeded from a respective modest Affection I bare to my my Lord, The Prince _Phylaster_, to do him service, As farre from any lacivious thought, As that Lady is farre from goodnesse, And if my true intents may be beleeved, And from your Highnesse Madame, pardon finde, You have the truth.

PRIN. I doe beleeve thee, _Bellario_ I shall call thee still.

PHI. The faithfullest servant that ever gave attendance.

LEON. Now Lady lust, what say you to'th boy now; Doe you hang the head, do ye, shame would steale Into your face, if ye had grace to entertaine it, Do ye slinke away?

[ _Exit_ MEGRA _hiding her face_,

KING. Give present order she be banisht the Court, And straightly confinde till our further Pleasure is knowne.

PHAR. Heres such an age of transformation, that I doe not know how to trust my selfe, I'le get me gone to: Sir, the disparagement you have done, must be cald in question. I have power to right my selfe, and will.

[ _Exit_ PHARAMONT.

KING. We feare ye not Sir.

PHI. Let a strong convoy guard him through the Kingdome, With him, let's part with all our cares and feare, And Crowne with joy our happy loves successe.

KING. Which to make more full, Lady _Gallatea_, Let honour'd _Clerimont_ acceptance finde In your chast thoughts.

PHI. Tis my sute too.

PRIN. Such royall spokes-men must not be deni'd.

GAL. Nor shall not, Madame.

KING. Then thus I joyne your hands.

GAL. Our hearts were knit before. [ _They kisse_.

PHI. But tis you Lady, must make all compleat, And gives a full perod to content, Let your loves cordiall againe revive, The drooping spirits of noble _Trasiline_. What saies Lord _Leon_ to it?

LEON. Marry my Lord I say, I know she once lov'd him. At least made shew she did, But since tis my Lord _Phylasters_ desire, I'le make a surrender of all the right A father has in her; here take her sir, With all my heart, and heaven give you joy.

KING. Then let us in these nuptuall feastes to hold, Heaven hath decreed, and Fate stands uncontrold.

FINIS.
