597King Farewell yong Lords, these warlike principles

598Doe not throw from you, and you my Lords farewell:

599Share the aduice betwixt you, if both gaine, all

600The guift doth stretch it selfe as 'tis receiu'd,

601And is enough for both.

602Lord. G 'Tis our hope sir,

603After well entred souldiers, to returne

604And finde your grace in health.

605King No, no, it cannot be; and yet my heart

606Will not confesse he owes the mallady

607That doth my life besiege: farwell yong Lords,

608Whether I liue or die, be you the sonnes

609Of worthy French men: let higher Italy

610(Those bated that inherit but the fall

611Of the last Monarchy) see that you come

612Not to wooe honour, but to wed it, when

613The brauest questant shrinkes: finde what you seeke,

614That fame may cry you loud: I say farewell.

615L. G Health at your bidding serue your Maiesty.

616King Those girles of Italy, take heed of them,

617They say our French, lacke language to deny

618If they demand: beware of being Captiues

619Before you serue.

620Bo Our hearts receiue your warnings.

621King Farewell, come hether to me.

6221. Lo. G Oh my sweet Lord CyC you wil stay behind vs.

623Parr 'Tis not his fault the spark.

6242. Lo. E Oh 'tis braue warres.

625Parr Most admirable, I haue seene those warres.

626Rossill I am commanded here, and kept a coyle with,

627Too young, and the next yeere, and 'tis too early.

628Parr And thy minde stand too't boy,

629Steale away brauely.

630Rossill I shal stay here the for-horse to a smocke,

631Creeking my shooes on the plaine Masonry,

632Till honour be bought vp, and no sword worne

633But one to dance with: by heauen, Ile steale away.

6341. Lo. G There's honour in the theft.

635Parr Commit it Count.

6362. Lo. E I am your accessary, and so farewell.

637Ros I grow to you, & our parting is a tortur'd body.

6381. Lo. G Farewell Captaine.

6392. Lo. E Sweet Mounsier Parolles

640Parr Noble Heroes my sword and yours are kinne,

641good sparkes and lustrous, a word good mettals. You

642shall finde in the Regiment of the Spinij, one Captaine

643Spuriohis sicatrice, with an Embleme of warre heere on

644his sinister cheeke; it was this very sword entrench'd it:

645say to him I liue, and obserue his reports for me.

646Lo. G We shall noble Captaine.

647Parr Marsdoate on you for his nouices, what will

648ye doe?

649Ross. Stay the King.

650Parr Vse a more spacious ceremonie to the Noble

651Lords, you haue restrain'd your selfe within the List of

652too cold an adieu: be more expressiue to them; for they

653weare themselues in the cap of the time, there do muster

654true gate; eat, speake, and moue vnder the influence of

655the most receiu'd starre, and though the deuill leade the

656measure, such are to be followed: after them, and take a

657more dilated farewell.

658Ros And I will doe so.

659Parr Worthy fellowes, and like to prooue most si-

660newie sword-men. Exeunt

662L. Laf Pardon my Lord for mee and for my tidings.

663King Ile see thee to stand vp.

664L. Laf Then heres a man stands that has brought his (pardon,

665I would you had kneel'd my Lord to aske me mercy,

666And that at my bidding you could so stand vp.

667King I would I had, so I had broke thy pate

668And askt thee mercy for't.

669Laf Goodfaith a-crosse, but my good Lord 'tis thus,

670Will you be cur'd of your infirmitie?

671King No.

672Laf O will you eat no grapes my royall foxe?

673Yes but you will, my noble grapes, and if

674My royall foxe could reach them: I haue seen a medicine

675That's able to breath life into a stone,

676Quicken a rocke, and make you dance Canari

677With sprightly fire and motion, whose simple touch

678Is powerfull to arayse King Pippen nay

679To giue great Charlemainea pen in's hand

680And write to her a loue-line.

681King What her is this?

682Laf Why doctor she: my Lord, there's one arriu'd,

683If you will see her: now by my faith and honour,

684If seriously I may conuay my thoughts

685In this my light deliuerance, I haue spoke

686With one, that in her sexe, her yeeres, profession,

687Wisedome and constancy, hath amaz'd mee more

688Then I dare blame my weakenesse: will you see her?

689For that is her demand, and know her businesse?

690That done, laugh well at me.

691King Now good Lafew

692Bring in the admiration, that we with thee

693May spend our wonder too, or take off thine

694By wondring how thou tookst it.

695Laf Nay, Ile fit you,

696And not be all day neither.

697King Thus he his speciall nothing euer prologues.

698Laf Nay, come your waies.

700King This haste hath wings indeed.

701Laf Nay, come your waies,

702This is his Maiestie, say your minde to him,

703A Traitor you doe looke like, but such traitors

704His Maiesty seldome feares, I am CressedsVncle,

705That dare leaue two together, far you well. Exit

706King Now faire one, do's your busines follow vs?

707Hel I my good Lord,

708Gerard de Narbonwas my father,

709In what he did professe, well found.

710King I knew him.

711Hel The rather will I spare my praises towards him,

712Knowing him is enough: on's bed of death,

713Many receits he gaue me, chieflie one,

714Which as the dearest issue of his practice

715And of his olde experience, th' onlie darling,

716He bad me store vp, as a triple eye,

717Safer then mine owne two: more deare I haue so,

718And hearing your high Maiestie is toucht

719With that malignant cause, wherein the honour

720Of my deare fathers gift, stands cheefe in power,

721I come to tender it, and my appliance,

722With all bound humblenesse.

723King We thanke you maiden,

724But may not be so credulous of cure,

725When our most learned Doctors leaue vs, and

726The congregated Colledge haue concluded,

727That labouring Art can neuer ransome nature

728From her inaydible estate: I say we must not

729So staine our iudgement, or corrupt our hope,

730To prostitute our past-cure malladie

731To empericks, or to disseuer so

732Our great selfe and our credit, to esteeme

733A sencelesse helpe, when helpe past sence we deeme.

734Hell My dutie then shall pay me for my paines:

735I will no more enforce mine office on you,

736Humbly intreating from your royall thoughts,

737A modest one to beare me backe againe.

738King I cannot giue thee lesse to be cal'd gratefull:

739Thou thoughtst to helpe me, and such thankes I giue,

740As one neere death to those that wish him liue:

741But what at full I know, thou knowst no part,

742I knowing all my perill, thou no Art.

743Hell What I can doe, can doe no hurt to try,

744Since you set vp your rest 'gainst remedie:

745He that of greatest workes is finisher,

746Oft does them by the weakest minister:

747So holy Writ, in babes hath iudgement showne,

748When Iudges haue bin babes; great flouds haue flowne

749From simple sources: and great Seas haue dried

750When Miracles haue by the great'st beene denied.

751Oft expectation failes, and most oft there

752Where most it promises: and oft it hits,

753Where hope is coldest, and despaire most shifts.

754King I must not heare thee, fare thee wel kind maide,

755Thy paines not vs'd, must by thy selfe be paid,

756Proffers not tooke, reape thanks for their reward.

757Hel Inspired Merit so by breath is bard,

758It is not so with him that all things knowes

759As 'tis with vs, that square our guesse by showes:

760But most it is presumption in vs, when

761The help of heauen we count the act of men.

762Deare sir, to my endeauors giue consent,

763Of heauen, not me, make an experiment.

764I am not an Impostrue, that proclaime

765My selfe against the leuill of mine aime,

766But know I thinke, and thinke I know most sure,

767My Art is not past power, nor you past cure.

768King Art thou so confident? Within what space

769Hop'st thou my cure?

770Hel The greatest grace lending grace,

771Ere twice the horses of the sunne shall bring

772Their fiery torcher his diurnall ring,

773Ere twice in murke and occidentall dampe

774Moist Hesperushath quench'd her sleepy Lampe:

775Or foure and twenty times the Pylots glasse

776Hath told the theeuish minutes, how they passe:

777What is infirme, from your sound parts shall flie,

778Health shall liue free, and sickenesse freely dye.

779King Vpon thy certainty and confidence,

780What dar'st thou venter?

781Hell Taxe of impudence,

782A strumpets boldnesse, a divulged shame

783Traduc'd by odious ballads: my maidens name

784Seard otherwise, ne worse of worst extended

785With vildest torture, let my life be ended.

786Kin Methinks in thee some blessed spirit doth speak

787His powerfull sound, within an organ weake:

788And what impossibility would slay

789In common sence, sence saues another way:

790Thy life is deere, for all that life can rate

791Worth name of life, in thee hath estimate:

792Youth, beauty, wisedome, courage, all

793That happines and prime, can happy call:

794Thou this to hazard, needs must intimate

795Skill infinite, or monstrous desperate,

796Sweet practiser, thy Physicke I will try,

797That ministers thine owne death if I die.

798Hel If I breake time, or flinch in property

799Of what I spoke, vnpittied let me die,

800And well deseru'd: not helping, death's my fee,

801But if I helpe, what doe you promise me.

802Kin Make thy demand.

803Hel But will you make it euen?

804Kin I by my Scepter, and my hopes of helpe.

805Hel Then shalt thou giue me with thy kingly hand

806What husband in thy power I will command:

807Exempted be from me the arrogance

808To choose from forth the royall bloud of France,

809My low and humble name to propagate

810With any branch or image of thy state:

811But such a one thy vassall, whom I know

812Is free for me to aske, thee to bestow.

813Kin Heere is my hand, the premises obseru'd,

814Thy will by my performance shall be seru'd:

815So make the choice of thy owne time, for I

816Thy resolv'd Patient, on thee still relye:

817More should I question thee, and more I must,

818Though more to know, could not be more to trust:

819From whence thou cam'st, how tended on, but rest

820Vnquestion'd welcome, and vndoubted blest.

821Giue me some helpe heere hoa, if thou proceed,

822As high as word, my deed shall match thy deed.
