No knees to me.
88: What woman I may steed that is distrest,
89: Does bind me to her.
90:
Thes.
What's your request? Deliver you for all.
91:
92:
93: The Beakes of Ravens, Tallents of the Kights,
94: And pecks of Crowes, in the fowle feilds of Thebs,
95: He will not suffer us to burne their bones,
96: To urne their ashes, nor to take th' offence
97: Of mortall loathsomenes from the blest eye
98: Of holy Phaebus, but infects the windes
99: With stench of our slaine Lords. O pitty Duke,
100: Thou purger of the earth, draw thy feard Sword
101: That does good turnes to'th world; give us the Bones
102: Of our dead Kings, that we may Chappell them;
103: And of thy boundles goodnes take some note
104: That for our crowned heades we have no roofe,
105: Save this which is the Lyons, and the Beares,
106: And vault to every thing.
107:
Thes.
Pray you kneele not,
108: I was transported with your Speech, and suffer'd
109:
110:
111: As wakes my vengeance, and revenge for 'em.
112: King Capaneus, was your Lord the day
113: That he should marry you, at such a season,
114: As now it is with me, I met your Groome,
115: By Marsis Altar, you were that time faire;
116: Not Iunos Mantle fairer then your Tresses,
117: Nor in more bounty spread her. Your wheaten wreathe
118: Was then nor threashd, nor blasted; Fortune at you
119:
120:
121: He tumbled downe upon his Nenuan hide
122: And swore his sinews thawd: O greife, and time,
123: Fearefull consumers, you will all devoure.
124:
1. Qu.
O I hope some God,
125: Some God hath put his mercy in your manhood
126: Whereto meel infuse powre, and presse you forth
127: Our undertaker.
128:
Thes.
O no knees, none Widdow,
129: Vnto the Helmeted-Belona use them,
130: And pray for me you Souldier.

132:
2. Qu.
Honoured Hypolita
133: Most dreaded Amazonian, that ha'st slaine
134: The Sith-tuskd-Bore; that with thy Arme as strong
135: As it is white, wast neere to make the male
136: To thy sex captive; but that this thy Lord
137: Borne to uphold Creation, in that honour
138: First nature stilde it in, shrunke thee into
139: The bownd thou wast ore-flowing; at once subduing
140: Thy force, and thy affection: Soldiresse
141: That equally canst poize sternenes with pitty,
142: Whom now I know hast much more power on him
143: Then ever he had on thee, who ow'st his strength,
144: And his, Love too: who is a Servant for
145: The Tenour of the Speech. Deere Glasse of Ladies
146: Bid him that we whom flaming war doth scortch,
147: Vnder the shaddow of his Sword, may coole us:
148: Require him he advance it ore our heades;
149: Speak't in a womans key: like such a woman
150: As any of us three; weepe ere you faile; lend us a knee;
151: But touch the ground for us no longer time
152: Then a Doves motion, when the head's pluckt off:
153: Tell him if he i'th blood cizd field, lay swolne
154: Showing the Sun his Teeth; grinning at the Moone
155: What you would doe.
156:
Hip.
Poore Lady, say no more:
157: I had as leife trace this good action with you
158: As that whereto I am going, and never yet
159: Went I so willing, way. My Lord is taken
160: Hart deepe with your distresse: Let him consider:
161: Ile speake anon.
162:
3. Qu.
O my petition was [ kneele to Emilia.]
163: Set downe in yce, which by hot greefe uncandied
164: Melts into drops, so sorrow wanting forme
165: Is prest with deeper matter.
166:
Emilia.
Pray stand up,
167: Your greefe is written in your cheeke.
168:
3. Qu.
O woe,
169: You cannot reade it there; there through my teares,
170: Like wrinckled peobles in a glasse streame
171: You may behold 'em (Lady, Lady, alacke)
172: He that will all the Treasure know o'th earth
173: Must know the Center too; he that will fish
174: For my least minnow, let him lead his line
175: To catch one at my heart. O pardon me,
176: Extremity that sharpens sundry wits
177: Makes me a Foole.
178:
Emili.
Pray you say nothing, pray you,
179: Who cannot feele, nor see the raine being in't,
180: Knowes neither wet, nor dry, if that you were
181: The ground-peece of some Painter, I would buy you
182: T' instruct me gainst a Capitall greefe indeed
183: Such heart peirc'd demonstration; but alas
184: Being a naturall Sister of our Sex
185: Your sorrow beates so ardently upon me,
186: That it shall make a counter reflect gainst
187: My Brothers heart, and warme it to some pitty
188: Though it were made of stone: pray have good comfort.
189:
Thes.
Forward to'th Temple, leave not out a Iot
190: O'th sacred Ceremony.
191:
1. Qu.
O This Celebration
192: Will long last, and be more costly then,
193: Your Suppliants war: Remember that your Fame
194: Knowles in the eare, o'th world: what you doe quickly,
195: Is not done rashly; your first thought is more.
196: Then others laboured meditance: your premeditating
197: More then their actions: But oh Iove, your actions
198: Soone as they mooves as Asprayes doe the fish,
199: Subdue before they touch, thinke, deere Duke thinke
200: What beds our slaine Kings have.
201:
2. Qu.
What greifes our beds
202: That our deere Lords have none.
203:
3. Qu.
None fit for'th dead:
204: Those that with Cordes, Knives, drams precipitance,
205: Weary of this worlds light, have to themselves
206: Beene deathes most horrid Agents, humaine grace
207: Affords them dust and shaddow.
208:
1. Qu.
But our Lords
209: Ly blistring fore the visitating Sunne,
210: And were good Kings, when living.
211:
Thes:
It is true, and I will give you comfort,
212: To give your dead Lords graves:
213: The which to doe, must make some worke with Creon;
214:
1. Qu.
And that worke presents it selfe to'th doing:
215: Now twill take forme, the heates are gone to morrow.
216: Then, booteles toyle must recompence it selfe,
217: With it's owne sweat; Now he's secure,
218: Not dreames, we stand before your puissance
219: Wrinching our holy begging in our eyes
220: To make petition cleere.
221:
2. Qu.
Now you may take him,
222: Drunke with his victory.
223:
3. Qu.
And his Army full
224: Of Bread, and sloth.
225:
Thes.
Artesius that best knowest
226: How to draw out fit to this enterprise,
227: The prim'st for this proceeding, and the number
228: To carry such a businesse, forth and levy
229: Our worthiest Instruments, whilst we despatch
230: This grand act of our life, this daring deede
231: Of Fate in wedlocke.
232:
1. Qu.
Dowagers, take hands
233: Let us be Widdowes to our woes, delay
234: Commends us to a famishing hope.
235:
All.
Farewell.
236:
237:
238: For best solicitation.
239:
Thes.
Why good Ladies,
240: This is a service, whereto I am going,
241: Greater then any was; it more imports me
242: Then all the actions that I have foregone,
243: Or futurely can cope.
244:
1. Qu.
The more proclaiming
245: Our suit shall be neglected, when her Armes
246: Able to locke Iove from a Synod, shall
247: By warranting Moone-light corslet thee, oh when
248: Her twyning Cherries shall their sweetnes fall
249: Vpon thy tastefull lips, what wilt thou thinke
250: Of rotten Kings or blubberd Queenes, what care
251: For what thou feelst not? what thou feelst being able
252: To make Mars spurne his Drom. O if thou couch
253: But one night with her, every howre in't will
254: Take hostage of thee for a hundred, and
255: Thou shalt remember nothing more, then what
256: That Banket bids thee too.
257:
Hip.
Though much unlike
258: You should be so transported, as much sorry
259: I should be such a Suitour; yet I thinke
260: Did I not by th' abstayning of my joy
261: Which breeds a deeper longing, cure their surfeit
262: That craves a present medcine, I should plucke
263: All Ladies scandall on me. Therefore Sir
264: As I shall here make tryall of my prayres,
265: Either presuming them to have some force,
266: Or sentencing for ay their vigour dombe,
267: Prorogue this busines, we are going about, and hang
268: Your Sheild afore your Heart, about that necke
269: Which is my Fee, and which I freely lend
270: To doe these poore Queenes service.
271:
All Queens.
Oh helpe now
272: Our Cause cries for your knee.
273:
Emil.
If you grant not
274: My Sister her petition in that force,
275: With that Celerity, and nature which
276: Shee makes it in: from henceforth ile not dare
277: To aske you any thing, nor be so hardy
278: Ever to take a Husband.
279:
Thes.
Pray stand up.
280: I am entreating of my selfe to doe
281: That which you kneele to have me; Pyrithous
282: Leade on the Bride; get you and pray the Gods
283: For successe, and returne, omit not any thing
284: In the pretended Celebration: Queenes
285: Follow your Soldier (as before) hence you
286: And at the banckes of Anly meete us with
287: The forces you can raise, where we shall finde
288: The moytie of a number, for a busines,
289: More bigger look't; since that our Theame is haste
290: I stamp this kisse upon thy currant lippe,
291: Sweete keepe it as my Token; Set you forward
292: For I will see you gone. [ Exeunt towards the Temple.]
293: Farewell my beauteous Sister: Pyrithous
294: Keepe the feast full, bate not an howre on't.
295:
Pirithous.
Sir
296: Ile follow you at heeles; The Feasts solempnity
297: Shall want till your returne.
298:
Thes.
Cosen I charge you
299: Boudge not from Athens; We shall be returning
300: Ere you can end this Feast; of which I pray you
301: Make no abatement; once more farewell all.
302: o'th (world.
303:
304:
3. Qu.
If not above him, for
305: Thou being but mortall makest affections bend
306: To Godlike honours; they themselves some say
307: Grone under such a Mastry.
308:
Thes.
As we are men
309: Thus should we doe, being sensually subdude
310: We loose our humane tytle; good cheere Ladies. [ Florish.]
311: Now turne we towards your Comforts. [ Exeunt.]
Scene ii
312: Scaena 2. Enter Palamon, and Arcite.
313:
Arcite.
Deere Palamon, deerer in love then Blood
314: And our prime Cosen, yet unhardned in
315: The Crimes of nature; Let us leave the Citty
316: Thebs, and the temptings in't, before we further
317: Sully our glosse of youth,
318: And here to keepe in abstinence we shame
319: As in Incontinence; for not to swim
320: I'th aide o'th Current, were almost to sincke,
321: At least to frustrate striving, and to follow
322: The common Streame, twold bring us to an Edy
323: Where we should turne or drowne; if labour through,
324: Our gaine but life, and weakenes.
325:
Pal.
Your advice
326: Is cride up with example; what strange ruins
327: Since first we went to Schoole, may we perceive
328: Walking in Thebs? Skars, and bare weedes
329: The gaine o'th Martialist, who did propound
330: To his bold ends, honour, and golden Ingots,
331: Which though he won, he had not, and now flurted
332: By peace for whom he fought, who then shall offer
333: To Marsis so scornd Altar? I doe bleede
334: When such I meete, and with great Iuno would
335: Resume her ancient fit of Ielouzie
336: To get the Soldier worke, that peace might purge
337: For her repletion, and retaine anew
338: Her charitable heart now hard, and harsher
339: Then strife, or war could be.
340:
Arcite.
Are you not out?
341: Meete you no ruine, but the Soldier in
342: The Cranckes, and turnes of Thebs? you did begin
343: As if you met decaies of many kindes:
344: Perceive you none, that doe arowse your pitty
345: But th' un-considerd Soldier?
346:
Pal.
Yes, I pitty
347: Decaies where ere I finde them, but such most
348: That sweating in an honourable Toyle
349: Are paide with yce to coole 'em.
350:
Arcite.
Tis not this
351: I did begin to speake of: This is vertue
352: Of no respect in Thebs, I spake of Thebs
353: How dangerous if we will keepe our Honours,
354: It is for our resyding, where every evill
355: Hath a good cullor; where eve'ry seeming good's
356: A certaine evill, where not to be ev'n Iumpe
357: As they are, here were to be strangers, and
358: Such things to be meere Monsters.
359:
Pal.
Tis in our power,
360: (Vnlesse we feare that Apes can Tutor's) to
361: Be Masters of our manners: what neede I
362: Affect anothers gate, which is not catching
363: Where there is faith, or to be fond upon
364: Anothers way of speech, when by mine owne
365: I may be reasonably conceiv'd; sav'd too,
366: Speaking it truly; why am I bound
367: By any generous bond to follow him
368: Followes his Taylor, haply so long untill
369: The follow'd, make pursuit? or let me know,
370: Why mine owne Barber is unblest, with him
371: My poore Chinne too, for tis not Cizard iust
372: To such a Favorites glasse: What Cannon is there
373: That does command my Rapier from my hip
374: To dangle't in my hand, or to go tip toe
375: Before the streete be foule? Either I am
376: The fore-horse in the Teame, or I am none
377: That draw i'th sequent trace: these poore sleight sores,
378: Neede not a plantin; That which tips my bosome
379: Almost to'th heart's,
380:
Arcite.
Our Vncle Creon.
381:
Pal.
He,
382: A most unbounded Tyrant, whose successes
383: Makes heaven unfeard, and villany assured
384: Beyond its power: there's nothing, almost puts
385: Faith in a feavour, and deifies alone
386: Voluble chance, who onely attributes
387: The faculties of other Instruments
388: To his owne Nerves and act; Commands men service,
389: And what they winne in't, boot and glory on;
390: That feares not to do harm; good, dares not; Let
391: The blood of mine that's sibbe to him, be suckt
392: From me with Leeches, Let them breake and fall
393: Off me with that corruption.
394:
Arc.
Cleere spirited Cozen
395: Lets leave his Court, that we may nothing share,
396: Of his lowd infamy: for our milke,
397: Will relish of the pasture, and we must
398: Be vile, or disobedient, not his kinesmen
399: In blood, unlesse in quality.
400:
Pal.
Nothing truer:
401: I thinke the Ecchoes of his shames have dea'ft
402: The eares of heav'nly Iustice: widdows cryes
403: [ Enter Valerius.]
404:
405:
Val.
The King cals for you; yet be leaden footed
406: Till his great rage be off him. Phebus when
407: He broke his whipstocke and exclaimd against
408: The Horses of the Sun, but whisperd too
409: The lowdenesse of his Fury.
410:
Pal.
Small windes shake him,
411: But whats the matter?
412:
413:
414: Ruine to Thebs, who is at hand to seale
415: The promise of his wrath.
416:
Arc.
Let him approach;
417: But that we feare the Gods in him, he brings not
418: A jot of terrour to us; Yet what man
419: Thirds his owne worth (the case is each of ours)
420: When that his actions dregd, with minde assurd
421: Tis bad he goes about.
422:
Pal.
Leave that unreasond.
423: Our services stand now for Thebs, not Creon,
424: Yet to be neutrall to him, were dishonour;
425: Rebellious to oppose: therefore we must
426: With him stand to the mercy of our Fate,
427: Who hath bounded our last minute.
428:
Arc.
So we must;
429: Ist sed this warres afoote? or shall it be
430: On faile of some condition.
431:
Val.
Tis in motion
432: The intelligence of state came in the instant
433: With the defier.
434:
Pal.
Lets to the king, who, were he
435: A quarter carrier of that honour, which
436: His Enemy come in, the blood we venture
437: Should be as for our health, which were not spent,
438: Rather laide out for purchase: but alas
439: Our hands advanc'd before our hearts, what will
440: The fall o'th stroke doe damage?
441:
Arci.
Let th' event,
442: That never erring Arbitratour, tell us
443: When we know all our selves, and let us follow
444: The becking of our chance. [ Exeunt.]
Scene iii
445: Scaena 3. Enter Pirithous, Hipolita, Emilia.
446:
Pir.
No further.
447:
Hip.
Sir farewell; repeat my wishes
448: To our great Lord, of whose succes I dare not
449: Make any timerous question, yet I wish him
450: Exces, and overflow of power, and't might be
451: To dure ill-dealing fortune; speede to him,
452: Store never hurtes good Gouernours.
453:
Pir.
Though I know
454: His Ocean needes not my poore drops, yet they
455: Must yeild their tribute there: My precious Maide,
456: Those best affections, that the heavens infuse
457: In their best temperd peices, keepe enthroand
458: In your deare heart.
459:
Emil.
Thanckes Sir; Remember me
460: To our all royall Brother, for whose speede
461: The great Bellona ile sollicite; and
462: Since in our terrene State petitions are not
463: Without giftes understood: Ile offer to her
464: What I shall be advised she likes, our hearts
465: Are in his Army, in his Tent.
466:
Hip.
In's bosome:
467: We have bin Soldiers, and wee cannot weepe
468: When our Friends don their helmes, or put to sea,
469: Or tell of Babes broachd on the Launce, or women
470: That have sod their Infants in (and after eate them)
471: The brine, they wept at killing 'em; Then if
472: You stay to see of us such Spincsters, we
473: Should hold you here for ever.
474:
Pir.
Peace be to you
475: As I pursue this war, which shall be then
476: Beyond further requiring. [ Exit Pir.]
477:
Emil.
How his longing
478: Followes his Friend; since his depart, his sportes
479: Though craving seriousnes, and skill, past slightly
480: His careles execution, where nor gaine
481: Made him regard, or losse consider, but
482: Playing ore busines in his hand, another
483: Directing in his head, his minde, nurse equall
484: To these so diffring Twyns; have you observ'd him,
485: Since our great Lord departed?
486:
Hip.
With much labour:
487: And I did love him fort, they two have Cabind
488: In many as dangerous, as poore a Corner,
489: Perill and want contending, they have swift
490: Torrents whose roring tyranny and power
491: I'th least of these was dreadfull, and they have
492: Fought out together, where Deaths-selfe was lodgd,
493: Yet fate hath brought them off: Their knot of love
494: Tide, weau'd, intangled, with so true, so long,
495: And with a finger of so deepe a cunning
496: May be outworne, never undone. I thinke
497: Theseus cannot be umpire to himselfe
498: Cleaving his conscience into twaine, and doing
499: Each side like Iustice, which he loves best.
500:
Emil.
Doubtlesse
501: There is a best, and reason has no manners
502: To say it is not you: I was acquainted
503: Once with a time, when I enjoyd a Play-fellow;
504: You were at wars, when she the grave enrichd,
505: Who made too proud the Bed, tooke leave o'th Moone
506: (Which then lookt pale at parting) when our count
507: Was each a eleven.
508:
Hip.
Twas Flauia.,
509:

579:
Thes.
By'th Helme of Mars, I saw them in the war,

596: Convent in their behoofe, our richest balmes
597: Rather then niggard wast, their lives concerne us,
598: Much more then Thebs is worth, rather then have 'em
599: Freed of this plight, and in their morning state
600: (Sound and at liberty) I would 'em dead,
601: But forty thousand fold, we had rather have 'em
602: Prisoners to us, then death; Beare 'em speedily
603: From our kinde aire, to them unkinde, and minister
604: What man to man may doe for our sake more,
605: Since I have knowne frights, fury, friends, beheastes,

609: Without some imposition, sicknes in will
610: Or wrastling strength in reason, for our Love
611: And great Appollos mercy, all our best,
612: Their best skill tender. Leade into the Citty,

621: Balmes, and Gummes, and heavy cheeres,
622: Sacred vials fill'd with teares,
623: And clamors through the wild ayre flying.
624: Come all sad, and solempne Showes,
625: That are quick-eyd pleasures foes;
