turn'd me my full due.

Cassilanes:

_Erota_? why
Should she do this?

Gonzalo:

You must ask her the cause,
She knows it best.

Cassilanes:

So ho, _Arcanes_, none
But women pity us? soft-hearted women?
I am become a brave fellow now, _Arcanes_,
Am I not?

Arcanes:

Why Sir, if the gracious Princess
Have took more special notice of your services,
And means to be more thankfull than some others,
It were an injury to gratitude,
To disesteem her favours.

Annophel:

Sir she ever
For your sake most respectively lov'd me.

Cassilanes:

Are herein (let me speak it without arrogance)
Beholding to her: I will thank her for it;
And if she have reserv'd a means whereby
I may repay this bounty with some service,
She shall be then my Patroness: come Sirs,
We'I taste a cup of wine together now.

Gonzalo:

Fernando:

You shall--Now _Gaspero_, all's well.

Gaspero:

You must be acquainted with.
Come, there is no master-piece in Art, like Policie.

Fernando:

The Senate is inform'd at full.

Michael:

He fats himself with hopes of Crowns, and Kingdoms,
286] And laughs securely, to imagine how
He means to gull all but himself: when truly,
None is so grosly gull'd as he.

Michael:

There was never
A more arch villain.

Fernando:

Peace, the Senate comes.

[Enter _Porphicio_, _Pos._ Senators, and _Gaspero_, Attend]

Porphycio:

How closely Treason cloaks it self in forms
Of Civil honesty!

Possenne:

And yet how palpably
Does heaven reveal it!

Fernando:

Gracious Lords.

Gaspero:

The Embassadour,
Lord _Paulo Michael_, Advocate
To the great Duke of _Venice_.

Porphycio:

You are most welcome,
Your Master is a just and noble Prince.

Michael:

My Lords, he bad me say, that you may know
How m
