_Are_. And not a little fearful? _La_. Fear Madam? sure he knows not what it is. _Are_. You are all of his Faction; the whole Court Is bold in praise of him, whilst I May live neglected: and do noble things, As fools in strife throw gold into the Sea, Drown'd in the doing: but I know he fears. _La_. Fear? Madam (me thought) his looks hid more Of love than fear. _Are_. Of love? To whom? to you? Did you deliver those plain words I sent, With such a winning gesture, and quick look That you have caught him? _La_. Madam, I mean to you. _Are_. Of love to me? Alas! thy ignorance Lets thee not see the crosses of our births: Nature, that loves not to be questioned Why she did this, or that, but has her ends, And knows she does well; never gave the world Two things so opposite, so contrary, As he and I am: If a bowl of blood Drawn from this arm of mine, would poyson thee, A draught of his would cure thee. Of love to me? _La_. Madam, I think I hear him. _Are_. Bring him in: You gods that would not have your dooms withstood, Whose holy wisdoms at this time it is, To make the passion of a feeble maid The way unto your justice, I obey. [ _Enter_ Phil. _La_. Here is my Lord _Philaster_. _Are_. Oh! 'tis well: Withdraw your self. _Phi_. Madam, your messenger Made me believe, you wisht to speak with me. _Are_. 'Tis true _Philaster,_ but the words are such, I have to say, and do so ill beseem The mouth of woman, that I wish them said, And yet am loth to speak them. Have you known That I have ought detracted from your worth? Have I in person wrong'd you? or have set My baser instruments to throw disgrace Upon your vertues? _Phi_. Never Madam you. _Are_. Why then should you in such a publick place, Injure a Princess and a scandal lay Upon my fortunes, fam'd to be so great: Calling a great part of my dowry in question. _Phi_. Madam, this truth which I shall speak, will be Foolish: but for your fair and vertuous self, I could afford my self to have no right To any thing you wish'd. _Are. Philaster,_ know I must enjoy these Kingdoms. _Phi_. Madam, both? _Are_. Both or I die: by Fate I die _Philaster,_ If I not calmly may enjoy them both.
