149Which of you three do beare most loue to him,

150And on your loues he so extremely dotes,

151As neuer any did, I thinke, before.

152He presently doth meane to send for you,

153To be resolu'd of this tormenting doubt:

154And looke, whose answere pleaseth him the best,

155They shall haue most vnto their marriages.

156Ra. O that I had some pleasing Mermayds voyce,

157For to inchaunt his sencelesse sences with!

158Skal. For he supposeth that Cordella will

159 (Striuing to go beyond you in her loue)

160Promise to do what euer he desires:

161Then will he straight enioyne her for his sake,

162The Hibernian King in marriage for to take.

163This is the summe of all I haue to say;

164Which being done, I humbly take my leaue,

165Not doubting but your wisdomes will foresee,

166What course will best vnto your good agree.

167Gon. Thanks, gentle Skalliger, thy kindnes vndeserued,

168Shall not be vnrequited, if we liue. Exit Skalliger.

169Ra. Now haue we fit occasion offred vs,

170To be reueng'd vpon her vnperceyu'd.

171Gon. Nay, our reuenge we will inflIct on her,

172Shall be accounted piety in vs:

173I will so flatter with my doting father,

174As he was ne're so flattred in his life.

175Nay, I will say, that if it be his pleasure,

176To match me to a begger, I will yeeld:

177For why, I know what euer I do say,

178He meanes to match me with the Cornwall King.

179Ra. Ile say the like: for I am well assured;

180What e're I say to please the old mans mind,

181Who dotes, as if he were a child agayne,

182I shall inioy the noble Cambrian Prince:

183Only, to feed his humour, will suffice, [two illegible letters?]

184To say, I am content with any one

185Whom heele appoynt me; this will please him more,

186Then e're Apolloes musike pleased Ioue.
