But I that have power in earth and heav'n above, Stang them both with never-failing love. DEATH. But I bereft them both of love and life. LOVE. Of life, but not of love; for ev'n in death Their souls are knit, though bodies be disjoin'd: Thou didst but wound their flesh, their minds are free, Their bodies buried, yet they honour me. DEATH. Hence, foolish Fortune! and thou, wanton Love! Your deeds are trifles, mine of consequence. FORTUNE. I give world's happiness and woe's increase. LOVE. By joining persons, I increase the world. DEATH. By wasting all I conquer all the world: And now, to end our difference at last, In this last act note but the deeds of Death. Where is Erastus now, but in my triumph? Where are the murtherers, but in my triumph? Where's judge and witness, but in my triumph? Where's false Lucina, but in my triumph? Where's fair Perseda, but in my triumph? Where's Basilisco, but in my triumph? Where's faithful Piston, but in my triumph? Where's valiant Brusor, but in my triumph? And where's great Soliman, but in my triumph? Their loves and fortune ended with their lives, And they must wait upon the car of death. Pack, Love and Fortune! play in comedies: For powerful Death best fitteth tragedies. LOVE. I go, yet Love shall never yield to Death. [_Exit_ LOVE. DEATH. But Fortune shall; for when I waste the world, Then times' and kingdoms' fortunes shall decay. FORTUNE. Meantime will Fortune govern, as she may. [_Exit_ FORTUNE. DEATH. Ay, now will Death, in his most haughty pride, Fetch his imperial car from deepest hell, And ride in triumph through the wicked world; Sparing none but sacred Cynthia's friend,[432] Whom death did fear, before her life began: For holy fates have grav'n it in their tables, That Death shall die, if he attempt her end, Whose life is heav'n's delight, and Cynthia's friend.
