leeping was
nothing but lying down and winking: Answers more direct
I could not get: in short Sir, I think she is not there.
_King_. 'Tis then no time to dally: you o'th' Guard,
Wait at the back door of the Princes lodging,
And see that none pass thence upon your lives.
Knock Gentlemen: knock loud: louder yet:
What, has their pleasure taken off their hearing?
I'le break your meditations: knock again:
Not yet? I do not think he sleeps, having this
Larum by him; once more, _Pharamond_, Prince.
[Pharamond _above_.
_Pha_. What sawcy groom knocks at this dead of night?
Where be our waiters? By my vexed soul,
He meets his death, that meets me, for this boldness.
_K_. Prince, you wrong your thoughts, we are your friends,
Come down.
_Pha_. The King?
_King_. The same Sir, come down,
We have cause of present Counsel with you.
_Pha_. If your Grace please to use me, I'le attend you
To your Chamber.
[Pha. _below_.
_King_. No, 'tis too late Prince, I'le make bold with yours.
_Pha_. I have some private reasons to my self,
Makes me unmannerly, and say you cannot;
Nay, press not forward Gentlemen, he must come
Through my life, that comes here.
_King_. Sir be resolv'd, I must and will come. Enter.
_Pha_. I will not be dishonour'd;
He that enters, enters upon his death;
Sir, 'tis a sign you make no stranger of me,
To bring these Renegados to my Chamber,
At these unseason'd hours.
_King_. Why do you
Chafe your self so? you are not wrong'd, nor shall be;
Onely I'le search your lodging, for some cause
To our self known: Enter I say.
_Pha_. I say no.
[_Meg. Above_.
_Meg_. Let 'em enter Prince,
Let 'em enter, I am up, and ready; I know their business,
'Tis the poor breaking of a Ladies honour,
They hunt so hotly after; let 'em enjoy it.
