You shall have your horses, and two dozen of staves. [_Exit_ PISTON. ERASTUS. Wish me good hap, Perseda, and I'll win Such glory, as no time shall e'er rase out; Or end the period of my youth in blood. PERSEDA. Such fortune as the good Andromache Wish'd valiant Hector, 'rounded[387] with the Greeks, I wish Erastus in his maiden wars: O'ercome with valour these high-minded knights, As with thy virtue thou hast conquer'd me. Heav'ns hear my hearty prayer, and it effect. [_Exeunt._ _Enter_ PHILIPPO, _the_ PRINCE OF CYPRUS, BASILISCO, _and all the_ KNIGHTS. PHILIPPO. Brave knights of Christendom, and Turkish both, Assembled here in thirsty honour's cause, To be enrolled in the brass-leav'd book Of never-wasting perpetuity, Put lamblike mildness to your lion's strength, And be our tilting like two brothers' sports, That exercise their war with friendly blows. Brave prince of Cyprus and our son-in-law, Welcome these worthies by their sev'ral countries; For in thy honour hither are they come, To grace thy nuptials with their deeds at arms. CYPRUS. First, welcome, thrice renowned Englishman, Graced by thy country, but ten times more By thy approved valour in the field; Upon the onset of the enemy, What is thy motto, when thou spurr'st thy horse? ENGLISHMAN. In Scotland was I made a knight-at-arms, Where for my country's cause I charg'd my lance: In France I took the standard from the king, And gave the flower of Gallia in my crest: Against the light-foot Irish have I serv'd, And in my skin bear tokens of their Kerns. Our word of courage all the world hath heard, Saint George for England, and Saint George for me! CYPRUS. Like welcome unto thee, fair knight of France, Well-fam'd thou art for discipline in war: Upon th' encounter of thine enemy, What is thy mot, renowned knight of France? FRENCHMAN. In Italy I put my knighthood on, Where in my shirt but with a single rapier I combated a Roman much renown'd, His weapon's point empoison'd for my bane, And yet my stars did bode my victory. Saint Denis is for France, and that for me! CYPRUS. Welcome, Castilian, too, amongst the rest; For fame doth sound thy valour with the best:[388] Upon the first encounter of thy foe, What is thy word of courage, brave man of Spain? SPANIARD.
