Fletcher, John
English drama
_Gen._ I am gone
Too far now to dissemble: rise, or sure
I must kneel with you too: let this one kiss
Speak the rest for me: 'tis too much I do,
And yet, if chastity would, I could wish more.
_Luc._ In overjoying me, you are grown sad;
What is it Madam? by ----
There's nothing that's within my nerves (and yet
Favour'd by you, I should as much as man)
But when you please, now or on all occasions
You can think of hereafter, but you may
Dispose of at your pleasure.
_Gen._ If you break
That oath again, you loose me. Yet so well
I love you, I shall never put you to't;
And yet forget it not: rest satisfied
With that you have receiv'd now: there are eyes
May be upon us, till the difference
Between our friends are ended: I would not
Be seen so private with you.
_Luc._ I obey you.
_Gen._ But let me hear oft from you, and remember
I am _Vitellies_ Sister.
_Luc._ What's that Madam?
_Gen._ Nay nothing, fare you well: who feels loves fire,
Would ever ask to have means to desire. [_Exeunt._
_Scæna Tertia._
_Enter_ Assistente, Sayavedra, Anastro, Herald,
Attendants.
_Assist._ Are they come in?
_H[e]r._ Yes.
_Assist._ Read the Proclamation,
That all the people here assembled may
Have satisfaction, what the Kings dear love,
In care of the Republick, hath ordained;
Attend with silence: read aloud.
Herald Reads.
