Fletcher, John
English drama
_Ti._ No, I shall be too kind, that's the devil on't;
I have had store of good wine: and when I am drunk,
_Joan_ is a Lady to me, and I shall
Lay about me like a Lord: I feel strange motions:
Avoid me temptation.
_Cro._ Come Sir, I'll help ye in. [_Exeunt._
_Enter_ Sebastian _and_ Nicusa.
_Nicu._ What may that be
That moves upon the Lake?
_Sebast._ Still it draws nearer,
And now I plainly can discern it.
'Tis the _French_ Ship.
_Nicu._ In it a woman,
Who seems to invite us to her.
_Sebast._ Still she calls with signs of Love to hasten to her;
So lovely hope doth still appear:
I feel nor age, nor weakness.
_Nicu._ Though it bring death,
To us 'tis comfort: and deserves a meeting.
Or else fortune tyr'd with what we have suffer'd,
And in it overcome, as it may be,
Now sets a period to our misery. [_Exeunt._ [_Horid Musick._
_Enter severally_, Raymond, Albert, Aminta.
_Ray._ What dreadful sounds are these?
_Amint._ Infernal Musick,
Fit for a bloody Feast.
_Alb._ It seems prepar'd
To kill our courages e'r they divorce
Our souls and bodies.
_Ray._ But they that fearless fall,
Deprive them of their triumph.
[_An Altar prepar'd._
_Enter_ Rossillia, Clarinda, Juletta, Hippolita, &c.
_Amin._ See the furies,
In their full trym of cruelty.
