_Bell_. I have been often told In Court, of one _Euphrasia,_ a Lady And Daughter to you; betwixt whom and me (They that would flatter my bad face would swear) There was such strange resemblance, that we two Could not be known asunder, drest alike. _Di_. By Heaven and so there is. _Bell_. For her fair sake, Who now doth spend the spring time of her life In holy Pilgrimage, move to the King, That I may scape this Torture. _Di_. But thou speak'st As like _Euphrasia_ as thou dost look, How came it to thy knowledge that she lives in Pilgrimage? _Bell_. I know it not my Lord, But I have heard it, and do scarce believe it. _Di_. Oh my shame, is't possible? Draw near, That I may gaze upon thee, art thou she? Or else her Murderer? where wert thou born? _Bell_. In _Siracusa_. _Di_. What's thy name? _Bell. Euphrasia_. _Di_. O 'tis just, 'tis she now, I do know thee, Oh that thou hadst died And I had never seen thee nor my shame, How shall I own thee? shall this tongue of mine E're call thee Daughter more? _Bell_. Would I had died indeed, I wish it too, And so I must have done by vow, e're published What I have told, but that there was no means To hide it longer, yet I joy in this, The Princess is all clear. _King_. What have you done? _Di_. All is discovered. _Phi_. Why then hold you me? _Di_. All is discovered, pray you let me go. [He offers to stab himself_.] _King_. Stay him. _Are_. What is discovered? _Di_. Why my shame, it is a woman, let her speak the rest. _Phi_. How! that again. _Di_. It is a woman. _Phi_. Blest be you powers that favour innocence. _King_. Lay hold upon that Lady. _Phi_. It is a woman Sir, hark Gentlemen! It is a woman. _Arethusa_ take My soul into thy breast, that would be gone With joy: it is a woman, thou art fair, And vertuous still to ages, in despight of malice. _King_. Speak you, where lies his shame? _Bell_. I am his Daughter. _Phi_. The Gods are just. _Di_. I dare accuse none, but before you two The vertue of our age, I bend my knee For mercy. _Phi_. Take it freely; for I know, Though what thou didst were undiscreetly done, 'Twas meant well. _Are_. And for me, I have a power to pardon sins as oft As any man has power to wrong me. _Cle_. Noble and worthy.
