COLLEN. Thou sot, the King means to make thee a gentleman. CLOWN. Why, I shall want 'pparel. KING. Thou shalt want for nothing. CLOWN. Then stand away; trick[196] up thyself; here they come. _Enter_ SEGASTO, MUCEDORUS, _and_ AMADINE. AMADINE. My gracious father, pardon thy disloyal daughter. KING. What, do mine eyes behold my daughter Amadin? Rise up, dear daughter, And let these my embracing arms show some Token of thy father's joy, which, ever since Thy departure, hath languished in sorrow. AMADINE. Dear father, Never were your sorrows greater than my griefs: Never you so desolate as I comfortless. Yet, nevertheless, acknowledging myself To be the cause of both, on bended knees I humbly crave your pardon. KING. I'll pardon thee, dear daughter, but as for Him---- AMADINE. Ah, father! what of him? KING. As sure as I am king, and wear the crown, I will revenge on that accursed wretch. MUCEDORUS. Yet, worthy prince, work not thy will in wrath: Show favour. KING. Ay, such favour as thou deservest. MUCEDORUS. I do deserve the daughter of a king. KING. O, impudent! a shepherd and so insolent? MUCEDORUS. No shepherd [am] I, but a worthy prince. KING. In fair conceit, not princely born. MUCEDORUS. Yes, princely born; my father is a king, My mother queen, and of Valentia both. KING. What, Mucedorus? welcome to our court! What cause hadst thou to come to me disguis'd? MUCEDORUS. No cause to fear; I caused no offence, But this--desiring thy daughter's virtues for to see, Disguis'd myself from out my father's court, Unknown to any. In secret I did rest, And passed many troubles near to death; So hath your daughter my partaker been, As you shall know hereafter more at large, Desiring you, you will give her to me, Even as mine own, and sovereign of my life, Then shall I think my travels are well spent. KING. With all my heart, but this-- Segasto claims my promise made tofore, That he should have her as his only wife, Before my council, when we came from war. Segasto, may I crave thee let it pass, And give Amadine as wife to Mucedorus. SEGASTO. With all my heart, were it a far greater thing, And what I may to furnish up their rites, With pleasing sports and pastimes you shall see. KING. Thanks, good Segasto; I will think of this. MUCEDORUS. Thanks, good my lord; and while I live, Account of me in what I can or may. AMADINE. And, good Segasto, these great courtesies Shall not be forgot. CLOWN. Why, hark you, master! bones, what have you done? What, given away the wench you made me take such pains for? you are wise indeed; mass, and I had known of that, I would have had her myself. Faith, master, now we may go to breakfast with a woodcock-pie. SEGASTO. Go, sir; you were best leave this knavery. KING. Come on, my lords, let's now to court, Where we may finish up the joyfullest day That ever happ'd to a distressed king.[197] With mirth and joy and great solemnity We'll finish up these Hymen's rites most pleasantly.
