her close, I shall not shame to say I sorrow for her.

_Gob_.

So do I my Lord; I sorrow for her, that so little grace doth
govern her: that she should stretch her arm against her King, so
little womanhood and natural goodness, as to think the death of
her own Son.

_ Ara_.

Thou knowst the reason why, dissembling as thou art, and wilt not
speak.

_Gob_.

There is a Lady takes not after you,
Her Father is within her, that good man
Whose tears weigh'd down his sins, mark how she weeps,
How well it does become her, and if you
Can find no disposition in your self
To sorrow, yet by gracefulness in her
Find out the way, and by your reason weep:
All this she does for you, and more she needs
When for your self you will not lose a tear,
Think how this want of grief discredits you,
And you will weep, because you cannot weep.

_Ara_.

You talk to me as having got a time fit for your purpose; but you
should be urg'd know I know you speak not what you think.

_Pan_.

I would my heart were Stone, before my softness
Against my mother, a more troubled thought
No Virgin bears about; should I excuse
My Mothers fault, I should set light a life
In losing which, a brother and a King
Were taken from me, if I seek to save
That life so lov'd, I lose another life
That gave me being, I shall lose a Mother,
A word of such a sound in a childs ears
That it strikes reverence through it; may the will
Of heaven be done, and if one needs must fall,
Take a poor Virgins life to answer all.

_ Ara_.

But _Gobrias_ let us talk, you know this fault
Is not in me as in another Mother.

_Gob_.

I know it is not.

_ Ara_.

Yet you make it so.

_Gob_.

Why, is not all that's past beyond your help?

_ Ara_.

I know it is.

_Gob_.

Nay should you publish it before the world,
Think you 'twould be believ'd?

_ Ara_.

I know it would not.

_Gob_.

Nay should I joyn with you, should we not both be torn and yet
both die uncredited?

_ Ara_.

I think we should.
_Gob_.

Why then take you such violent courses? As for me I do but right
in saving of the King from all your plots.

_ Ara_.

The King?

_Gob_.

I bad you rest with patience, and a time
Would come for me to reconcile all to
Your own content, but by this way you take
Away my power, and what was done unknown,
Was not by me but you: your urging be
