Of Marriage bed, and frown not, I am forc't
In answer of such noble tears as those,
To weep upon my Wedding day.
_Mel_. I fear thou art grown too sick; for I hear
A Lady mourns for thee, men say to death,
Forsaken of thee, on what terms I know not.
_Amin_. She had my promise, but the King forbad it,
And made me make this worthy change, thy Sister
Accompanied with graces above her,
With whom I long to lose my lusty youth,
And grow old in her arms.
_Mel_. Be prosperous.
[_Enter Messenger_.
_Messen_. My Lord, the Maskers rage for you.
_Lys_. We are gone. _Cleon, Strata, Diphilus_.
_Amin_. Wee'l all attend you, we shall trouble you
With our solemnities.
_Mel_. Not so _Amintor_.
But if you laugh at my rude carriage
In peace, I'le do as much for you in War
When you come thither: yet I have a Mistress
To bring to your delights; rough though I am,
I have a Mistress, and she has a heart,
She saies, but trust me, it is stone, no better,
There is no place that I can challenge in't.
But you stand still, and here my way lies.
[_Exit_.
_Enter Calianax with Diagoras_.
_Cal_. _Diagoras_, look to the doors better for shame, you let
in all the world, and anon the King will rail at me; why
very well said, by _Jove_ the King will have the show
i'th' Court.
_Diag_. Why do you swear so my Lord?
You know he'l have it here.
_Cal_. By this light if he be wise he will not.
_Diag_. And if he will not be wise, you are forsworn.
_Cal_. One may wear his heart out with swearing, and get
thanks on no side, I'le be gone, look to't who will.
_Diag_. My Lord, I will never keep them out.
Pray stay, your looks will terrifie them.
_Cal_. My looks terrifie them, you Coxcombly Ass you!
I'le be judg'd by all the company whether thou hast not a
worse face than I--
_Diag_. I mean, because they know you
