1938Pal. Looke to thine owne well Arcite.

1941 Theseus. What ignorant and mad malicious Traitors,

1942Are you? That gainst the tenor of my Lawes

1943Are making Battaile, thus like Knights appointed,

1944Without my leave, and Officers of Armes?

1945By Castor both shall dye.

1946Pal. Hold thy word Theseus,

1947We are certainly both Traitors, both despisers

1948Of thee, and of thy goodnesse: I am Palamon

1949That cannot love thee, he that broke thy Prison,

1950Thinke well, what that deserves; and this is Arcite

1951A bolder Traytor never trod thy ground

1952A Falser neu'r seem'd friend: This is the man

1953Was begd and banish'd, this is he contemnes thee

1954And what thou dar'st doe; and in this disguise

1955Against this owne Edict followes thy Sister,

1956That fortunate bright Star, the faire Emilia

1957Whose servant, (if there be a right in seeing,

1958And first bequeathing of the soule to) justly

1959I am, and which is more, dares thinke her his.

1960This treacherie like a most trusty Lover,

1961I call'd him now to answer; if thou bee'st

1962As thou art spoken, great and vertuous,

1963The true descider of all injuries,

1964Say, Fight againe, and thou shalt see me Theseus

1965Doe such a Iustice, thou thy selfe wilt envie,

1966Then take my life, Ile wooe thee too't.

1967Per. O heaven,

1968What more then man is this!

1969Thes. I have sworne.

1970Arc. We seeke not

1971Thy breath of mercy Theseus, Tis to me

1972A thing as soone to dye, as thee to say it,

1973And no more mov'd: where this man calls me Traitor,

1974Let me say thus much; if in love be Treason,

1975In service of so excellent a Beutie,
