eed 'twere well for you if you might be a little less obey'd.
_Arb_.
One call the Queen.
_Mar_.
Why she is there.
_Arb_.
The Queen _Mardonius_, _Panthea_ is the Queen and I am plain
_Arbaces_; go some one, she is in _Gobrias_ house, since I saw
you there are a thousand things delivered to me, you little dream
of.
[_Exit a Gent_.
_Mar_.
So it should seem my Lord, what fury's this?
_Gob_.
Believe me 'tis no fury, all that he saies is truth.
_Mar_.
'Tis very strange.
_Arb_.
Why do you keep your hats off Gentlemen? is it to me? I swear it
must not be; nay, trust me, in good faith it must not be; I
cannot now command you, but I pray you for the respect you bare
me, when you took me for your King, each man clap on his hat at
my desire.
_Mar_.
We will, you are not found so mean a man, but that you may be
cover'd as well as we, may you not?
_Arb_.
O not here, you may, but not I, for here is my Father in
presence.
_Mar_.
Where?
_Arb_.
Why there: O the whole story would be a wilderness to lose thy
self for ever: O pardon me dear Father for all the idle and
unreverent words that I have spoke in idle moods to you: I am
_Arbaces_, we all fellow-subjects, nor is the Queen _Panthea_ now
my Sister.
_Bes_.
Why if you remember fellow-subject _Arbaces_; I told you once
she was not your sister: I, and she lookt nothing like you.
_Arb_.
I think you did, good Captain _Bessus_.
_Bes_.
Here will arise another question now amongst the Sword-men,
whether I be to call him to account for beating me, now he is
proved no King.
_Enter_ Lygones.
_Mar_.
Sir here's Lygones, the agent for the Armenian_ State.
_Arb_.
Where is he? I know your business good Lygones.
_Lyg_.
We must have our King again, and will.
_Arb_.
I knew that was your business: you shall have your King again,
and have him so again as never King was had, go one of you and
bid _Bacurius_ bring _Tigranes_ hither; and bring the Lady with
him, that _Panthea_, the Queen _Panthea_ sent me word this
[morning], was brave _Tigranes_ mistress.
[_Ex. two Gent_.
_Lyg_.
'Tis _Spaconia_.
_Arb_.
I, I, _Spaconia_.
_Lyg_.
She is my Daughter.
_Arb_.
She is so: I could now tell any thing I never heard: your King
shall go so home, as never man
