Reft of all power and thoughts of their returne.
_Enter the Duke and Hardenbergh_.
_Lean_. Be silent, heere's the Duke.
_Alp_. Aye me beholde
Your sonne, Lord _Hardenbergh_, courting _Hyanthe_.
_Har_. If he be courting tis for you, my liege.
_Alph_. No, _Hardenbergh_; he loves my sonne too well
--My faire _Hyanthie_, what discourse is it
Wherewith _Leander_ holdes you this [thus?] attentive?
Would I could thinke upon the like for you.
_Hya_. You should but speake and passe the time, my lord.
_Alp_. Passe-time that pleaseth you is the use of time:
Had I the ordering of his winged wheele
It onely should serve your desires and mine.
What should it do if you did governe it.
_Hya_. It should go backe againe and make you yong.
_Alph_. Swounds, _Hardenbergh_.
_Hard_. To her againe, my Lord.
_Alp_. _Hyanthe_, wouldst thou love me, I would use thee

She hath enchanted my deere _Alderbure_
With crafts and treasons and most villanous Arts
Are meanes by which shee seekes to murder him.
_Hardenbergh_, take her and imprison her

For all the wealth the Loves of heaven embrace.
_Hya_. What meanes your grace by this?
_Alp_. Away with her!
_Hya_. You offer me intolerable wrong.
_Alp_. Away with her, I say.
_Har_. Come Ladie, feare not, Ile entreate you well.
