ey needed not the helpe of Art. _Flo_. My Lord, you see all sorts of Jewells heere, I will not tire your grace with view of them; Ile onely shew you one faire Aggat more, Commended chiefely for the workmanship. _Alber_. O excellent! this is the very face Of _Cassimeere_: by viewing both at once, Either I thinke that both of them do live Or both of them are Images and dead. _Flo_. My Lord, I feare I trouble you too long: Wilt please your Lordships taste th[e]is homely cates? _Corn_. First (if it please you) give me leave to greete Your Princely hand with this unworthy gift, Yet woorthy since it represents your selfe. _Alber_. What? my selfe, Lady? trust me it is pittie So faire a Jemme should hold so rude a picture. _Cor_. My Lord, 'tis made a Jewell in your picture, Which otherwise had not deserv'd the name. _Alber_. Kinde mistresse, kindly I accept your favor. _Enter Lassingbergh, Haunce and Lucilia_. _Flo_. Heere, you young gentleman; do you know this man? [_Exit Han_. _Mot_. Yes, signior _Flores_, 'tis Earle _Lassingbergh_.--My lord, what meane you to come this disguisd? _Lu_. Aye me! _Lass_. The foolish boye is mad; I am _Cornelius_. Earle _Lassingbergh_? I never heard of him. _Flo_. O _Lassingbergh_, we know your villainie, And thy dishonour (fond _Lucilia_). Asse that I was, dull, sencelesse, grosse braynd fool That dayly saw so many evident signes Of their close dealings, winckings, becks and touches, And what not? To enforce me to discerne, Had I not been effatuate even by Fate. Your presence, noble Lords (in my disgrace) Doth deepely moove mee, and I heere protest Most solemnly (in sight of heaven and you) That if Earle _Lassingbergh_ this day refuse To make faire mends for this fowle trespasse done, I will revenge me on his treacherous heart Though I sustaine for him a thousand deaths. _Cass_. This action (traitour _Lassingbergh_) deserves Great satisfaction or else great revenge. _Alber_. Beleeve me, gallant Earle, your choice is faire. And worthy your most honourable love. _Lassin_. My Lord, it greeves me to be thus unmaskt And made ridiculous in the stealth of love; But (for _Lucilias_ honour) I protest (Not for the desperate vowe that _Flores_ made) She was my wife before she knew my love, By secret promise made in sight of heaven. The marriage which he urgeth I accept, But this compulsion and unkinde disgrace
