DEL. His griefs have made him wild. [_Aside._ I have no time Left me to use persuasions, or to make This truth apparent to you; on my word, You shall be safe; and if you dare believe me, I'll bring you where your love is; follow me. THYR. Why should I doubt, or fear to go with her? Ill does he call for physic whom the law Has doom'd to die. There's no condition Can prove worse to me than my present one. Pray, lead me where you please; I'm sure of this: To one that's desperate no way's amiss. [_Exeunt._ SCENA II. EUARCHUS, EUBULUS, CLEANDER, _Attendants_. All leave the room. Eubulus, I'm resolv'd To hold an easier hand over my daughter Than I was wont: therefore I sent Cleander To bring her to my presence. Though she have Wrong'd her great birth and breeding by her follies, Yet I consider that she is my daughter, And this restraint cannot but harden her In her fond resolutions. Have you sought By all the means you can to sift the cause Of her departure? EUB. Sir, I have tried By all the ways that fit a subject, to Inquire a truth of one that is his princess. EUAR. And what have you discover'd? EUB. Nothing more Than what my son Cleander did before. EUAR. I have heard his relation: but [I] wonder How for a whole month's time she should abide Within our confines, when so great a search Through all our countries, and loud proclamations, Were made for her recovery. EUB. 'Tis true. She herein was ingenuous, and confess'd That she foresaw what search would be made for her: Therefore with some about her she had plotted To hire a bark that might convey her hence In a disguise to Smyrna, where she stay'd Till time did fit her, that with safety She might return in habit of a nymph Unto the place where then Cleander found her: But why she left the court she will not tell. EUAR. I will not force her to't: some little time Perhaps may make discovery of that secret. But unto thee, my faithful councillor (As unto one my heart hath still been open), I will discover what my purpose is In sending for these shepherds to my court. EUB. I should believe they're sent for to delight Your majesty, as they were wont. EUAR. No, Eubulus; But for a greater end: I fear my daughter, And therefore I have sent for her to see These sports with purpose to observe her looks. For I suspect she loves some shepherd there. EUB. It cannot be: she will not stain her birth With such ignoble love; yet I confess, Revolving all the causes of her strange Departure, I could fix on none but that.
