1424Dion. Thy oath remember, thou hast sworne to doo't,

1425tis but a blowe which neuer shall bee knowne , thou

1426canst not doe a thing in the worlde so soone to yeelde

1427thee so much profite: let not conscience which is but

1428cold, in flaming, thy loue bosome, enflame too nicelie,

1429nor let pittie which euen women haue cast off, melt thee,

1430but be a souldier to thy purpose.

1431Leon. I will doo't, but yet she is a goodly creature.

1432Dion. The fitter then the Gods should haue her.

1433Here she comes weeping for her onely Mistresse death,

1434Thou art resolude.

1435Leon. I am resolude.

1437Mari. No: I will rob Tellus of her weede to strowe

1438thy greene with Flowers, the yellowes, blewes, the purple

1439Violets, and Marigolds, shall as a Carpet hang vpon thy

1440graue, while Sommer dayes doth last: Aye me poore maid,

1441borne in a tempest, when my mother dide, this world to me

1442is a lasting storme, whirring me from my friends.

1443Dion. How now Marina, why doe yow keep alone?

1444How chaunce my daughter is not with you?

1445Doe not consume your bloud with sorrowing,

1446Haue you a nurse of me? Lord how your fauours

1447Changd with this vnprofitable woe:

1448Come giue me your flowers, ere the sea marre it,

1449Walke with Leonine, the ayre is quicke there,

1450And it perces and sharpens the stomacke,

1451Come Leonine take her by the arme, walke with her.

1452Mari. No I pray you, Ile not bereaue you of your seruañt .

1453Dion. Come, come, I loue the king your father, and your

1454selfe, with more then forraine heart, wee euery day expect

1455him here, when he shall come and find our Paragon to all

1456reports thus blasted,

1457He will repent the breadth of his great voyage, blame both

1458my Lord and me, that we haue taken no care to your best

1459courses, go I pray you, walke and be chearfull once againe,

1460reserue that excellent complexion, which did steale the

1461eyes of yong and old. Care not for me, I can goe home a-

1462lone.

1463Mari. Well, I will goe, but yet I haue no desire too it.

1464Dion. Come, come, I know tis good for you, walke halfe

1465an houre Leonine, at the least, remember what I haue sed.

1466Leon. I warrant you Madam.

1467Dion. Ile leaue you my sweete Ladie, for a while, pray

1468walke softly, doe not heate your bloud, what, I must haue

1469care of you.

1470Mari. My thanks sweete Madame, Is this wind Westerlie

1471that blowes?

1472Leon. Southwest.

1473Mari.When I was borne the wind was North.

1474LeonWast so?

1475Mari. My father, as nurse ses, did neuer feare, but cryed

1476good sea-men to the Saylers, galling his kingly hands ha-

1477ling ropes, and clasping to the Mast, endured a sea that al-

1478most burst the decke.

1479Leon. When was this?

1480Mari. When I was borne, neuer was waues nor winde

1481more violent, and from the ladder tackle, washes off a can-

1482uas clymer, ha ses one, wolt out? and with a dropping in-

1483dustrie they skip from sterne to sterne , the Boatswaine

1484whistles, and the Maister calles and trebles their confusion.

1485Leon. Come say your prayers.

1486Mari. What meane you?

1487Leon. If you require a little space for praier, I graunt it,

1488pray, but bee not tedious, for the Gods are quicke of eare,

1489and I am sworne to do my worke with haste.

1490Mari. Why will you kill me?

1491Leon. To satisfie my Ladie.

1492Mari. Why would shee haue mee kild now? as I can re-

1493member by my troth, I neuer did her hurt in all my life, I

1494neuer spake bad worde, nor did ill turne to anie liuing crea-

1495ture: Beleeue me law, I neuer killd a Mouse, nor hurt a Fly:

1496I trode vpon a worme against my will, but I wept fort. How

1497haue I offended, wherein my death might yeeld her anie

1498profit, or my life imply her any danger?

1499Leon. My Commission is not to reason of the deed, but

1500doo't.

1501Mari. You will not doo't for all the world I hope: you

1502are well fauoured, and your lookes foreshew you haue a

1503gentle heart, I saw you latelie when you caught hurt in par-

1504ting two that fought: good sooth it shewde well in you, do

1505so now, your Ladie seekes my life Come, you betweene, and

1506saue poore mee the weaker.

1507Leon. I am sworne and will dispatch. Enter Pirats.

1508Pirat.1. Hold villaine.

1509Pira.2. A prize, a prize.

1510Pirat.3. Halfe part mates, halfe part. Come lets haue

1511her aboord sodainly.

1514Leon. These rogueing theeues serue the great Pyrato

1515Valdes, and they haue seizd Marina, let her goe, ther's no

1516hope shee will returne, Ile sweare shees dead, and throwne

1517into the Sea, but ile see further: perhappes they will but

1518please themselues vpon her, not carrie her aboord, if shee

1519remaine

1520Whome they haue rauisht, must by mee be slaine.
