_Ptol_. What will this mean? _Dem_. Thou hast won it, bear it off, And draw thy men home whilest we wait upon thee. _Sel_. You shall have all our Countries. _Lysi. Ptol_. All by Heaven, Sir. _Dem_. I will not have a stone, a bush, a bramble, No, in the way of courtesie, I'le start ye; Draw off, and make a lane through all the Army, That these that have subdu'd us, may march through us. _Sel_. Sir, do not make me surfeit with such goodness, I'le bear your Standard for ye; follow ye. _Dem_. I swear it shall be so, march through me fairly, And thine be this days honour, great _Seleucus_. _Ptol_. Mirrour of noble minds. _Dem_. Nay then ye hate me. _Leo_. I cannot speak now: _ [Ex. with Drums, and Shouts._ Well, go thy wayes; at a sure piece of bravery Thou art the best, these men are won by th' necks now: I'le send a Post away. _ACTUS QUARTUS. SCENA PRIMA._ _Enter Antigonus, and Menippus._ _Ant_. No aptness in her? _Men_. Not an immodest motion, And yet when she is courted, Makes as wild witty answers. _Ant_. This more fires me, I must not have her thus. _Men_. We cannot alter her. _Ant_. Have ye put the youths upon her? _Men_. All that know any thing, And have been studied how to catch a beauty, But like so many whelps about an Elephant-- The Prince is coming home, Sir. _Ant_. I hear that too, But that's no matter; am I alter'd well? _Men_. Not to be known I think, Sir. _Ant_. I must see her. _Enter 2 Gentlemen, or Lords._ _1 Gent_. I offered all I had, all I could think of, I tri'd her through all the points o'th' compass, I think. _2 Gent_. She studies to undo the Court, to plant here The Enemy to our Age, Chastity; She is the first, that e're bauk'd a close Arbour, And the sweet contents within: She hates curl'd heads too, And setting up of beards she swears is Idolatry. _1 Gent_. I never knew so fair a face so froze; Yet she would make one think-- _2 Gent_. True by her carriage, For she's as wanton as a Kid to th' out side, As full of Mocks and Taunts: I kiss'd her hand too, Walkt with her half an hour. _1 Gent_. She heard me sing, And sung her self too; she sings admirably; But still when any hope was, as 'tis her trick To minister enough of those, then presently With some new flam or other, nothing to the matter, And such a frown, as would sink all before her, She takes her Chamber; come, we shall not be the last fools. _2 Gent_. No
