d things possible and honest.
_King_. Things possible and honest! Hear me, thou,
Thou Traytor, that darest confine thy King to things
Possible and honest; shew her me,
Or let me perish, if I cover not all _Cicily_ with bloud.
_Di_. Indeed I cannot, unless you tell me where she is.
_King_. You have betray'd me, y'have, let me lose
The Jewel of my life, go; bring her me,
And set her before me; 'tis the King
Will have it so, whose breath can still the winds,
Uncloud the Sun, charm down the swelling Sea,
And stop the Flouds of Heaven; speak, can it not?

He gallopt empty by: there's some Treason;
You _Galatea_ rode with her into the wood; why left

_Gal_. She did command me.
_King_. Command! you should not.
_Gal_. 'Twould ill become my Fortunes and my Birth
To disobey the Daughter of my King.
_King_. Y'are all cunning to obey us for our hurt,
But I will have her.
_Pha_. If I have her not,
By this hand there shall be no more _Cicily_.
