893Ol. Laf They say miracles are past, and we haue our

894Philosophicall persons, to make moderne and familiar

895things supernaturall and causelesse. Hence is it, that we

896make trifles of terrours, ensconcing our selues into see-

897ming knowledge, when we should submit our selues to

898an vnknowne feare.

899Par Why 'tis the rarest argument of wonder, that

900hath shot out in our latter times.

901Ros And so 'tis.

902Ol. Laf To be relinquisht of the Artists.

903Par So I say both of Galen and Paracelsus

904Ol. Laf Of all the learned and authenticke fellowes.

905Par Right so I say.

906Ol. Laf That gaue him out incureable.

910Ol. Laf Vncertaine life, and sure death.

911Par Iust, you say well: so would I haue said.

912Ol. Laf I may truly say, it is a noueltie to the world.

913Par It is indeede if you will haue it in shewing, you

914shall reade it in what do ye call there.

915Ol. Laf A shewing of a heauenly effect in an earth-

916ly Actor.

917Par That's it, I would haue said, the verie same.

918Ol. Laf Why your Dolphin is not lustier: fore mee

927cendence, which should indeede giue vs a further vse to

928be made, then alone the recou'ry of the king, as to bee

929Old Laf Generally thankfull.

931Par I would haue said it, you say well: heere comes

932the King.

933Ol. Laf Lustique, as the Dutchman saies: Ile like a

934maide the Better whil'st I haue a tooth in my head: why

935he's able to leade her a Carranto.

936Par Mor du vinager is not this Helen

937Ol. Laf Fore God I thinke so.

938King Goe call before mee all the Lords in Court,

939Sit my preseruer by thy patients side,

940And with this healthfull hand whose banisht sence

943Which but attends thy naming.

945Faire Maide send forth thine eye, this youthfull parcell

946Of Noble Batchellors, stand at my bestowing,

947Ore whom both Soueraigne power, and fathers voice

948I haue to vse; thy franke election make,

949Thou hast power to choose, and they none to forsake.

950Hel To each of you, one faire and vertuous Mistris;

951Fall when loue please, marry to each but one.

952Old Laf I'de giue bay curtall, and his furniture

953My mouth no more were broken then these boyes,

954And writ as little beard.

956Not one of those, but had a Noble father.

958Hel Gentlemen, heauen hath through me, restor'd

959the king to health.

960All We vnderstand it, and thanke heauen for you.

963Please it your Maiestie, I haue done already:

964The blushes in my cheekes thus whisper mee,

965We blush that thou shouldst choose, but be refused;

966Let the white death sit on thy cheeke for euer,

967Wee'l nere come there againe.

972Do my sighes streame: Sir, wil you heare my suite?

9731. Lo And grant it.

974Hel Thankes sir, all the rest is mute.

975Ol. Laf I had rather be in this choise, then throw

978Before I speake too threatningly replies:

979Loue make your fortunes twentie times aboue

980Her that so vvishes, and her humble loue.

9812. Lo No better if you please.

982Hel My wish receiue,

983Which great loue grant, and so I take my leaue.

984Ol. Laf Do all they denie her? And they were sons

985of mine, I'de haue them whip'd, or I would send them

986to'th Turke to make Eunuches of.

987Hel Be not afraid that I your hand should take,

988Ile neuer do you wrong for your owne sake:

989Blessing vpon your vowes, and in your bed

990Finde fairer fortune, if you euer wed.

991Old Laf These boyes are boyes of Ice, they'le none
