e honour; for which (King)
I am come to kill thee.

_King_. No.

_Evad_. I am.

_King_. Thou art not.
I prethee speak not these things; thou art gentle,
And wert not meant thus rugged.

_Evad_. Peace and hear me.
Stir nothing but your tongue, and that for mercy
To those above us; by whose lights I vow,
Those blessed fires that shot to see our sin,
If thy hot soul had substance with thy blood,
I would kill that too, which being past my steel,
My tongue shall teach: Thou art a shameless Villain,
A thing out of the overchange of Nature;
Sent like a thick cloud to disperse a plague
Upon weak catching women; such a tyrant
That for his Lust would sell away his Subjects,
I, all his heaven hereafter.

_King_. Hear _Evadne_,
Thou soul of sweetness! hear, I am thy King.

_Evad_. Thou art my shame; lie still, there's none about you,
Within your cries; all promises of safety
Are but deluding dreams: thus, thus, thou foul man,
Thus I begin my vengeance.

[_Stabs him_.

_King_. Hold _Evadne_!
I do command thee hold.

_Evad_. I do not mean Sir,
To part so fairly with you; we must change
More of these love-tricks yet.

_King_. What bloody villain
Provok't thee to this murther?

_Evad_. Thou, thou monster.

_King_. Oh!

_Evad_. Thou kept'st me brave at Court, and Whor'd me;
Then married me to a young noble Gentleman;
And Whor'd me still.

_King_. _Evadne_, pity me.

_Evad_. Hell take me then; this for my Lord _Amintor_;
This for my noble brother: and this stroke
For the most wrong'd of women.

[_Kills him_.

_King_. Oh! I die.

_Evad_. Die all our faults together; I forgive thee.

[_Exit_.

_Enter two of the Bed-Chamber_.
