ull any way. _Ara_. It is sufficient recompence to me If that my silly helpe have pleasurde thee; If you enioy your Love and hearts desire It is enough, nor doo I more require. _Phoe_. Grave _Aramanthus_, now I see thy face, I call to minde how tedious a long space Thou hast frequented these sad desarts here; Thy time imployed in heedful minde I bear, The patient sufferance of thy former wrong, Thy poore estate and sharpe exile so long, The honourable port thou bor'st some time Till wrongd thou wast with undeserved crime By them whom thou to honour didst advaunce: The memory of which thy heavy chaunce Provokes my minde to take remorse on thee. Father, henceforth my clyent shalt thou bee And passe the remnant of thy fleeting time With Lawrell wreath among the Muses nine; And, when thy age hath given place to fate, Thou shalt exchange thy former mortall state And after death a palme of fame shalt weare, Amongst the rest that live in honor here. And, lastly, know that faire _Eurymine_, Redeemed now from former miserie, Thy daughter is, whom I for that intent Did hide from thee in this thy banishment That so she might the greater scourge sustaine In putting _Phoebus_ to so great a paine.

So great a tyde of comfort overflowes As what to say my faltering tongue scarse knowes, But only this, vnperfect though it bee;-- Immortall thankes, great _Phoebus_, unto thee. _Phoe_. Well, Lady, you are retransformed now, But I am sure you did repent your vow. _Eury_. Bright Lampe of glory, pardon my rashenesse past. _Phoe_. The penance was your owne though I did fast. _Enter Phylander and Ioculo_. _Asca_. Behold, deare Love, to make your ioyes abound, Yonder _Phylander_ comes. _Io_. Oh, sir, well found; But most especially it glads my minde To see my mistresse restorde to kinde. _Phy_. My Lord & Madame, to requite your pa
