_Rom._ May it please your Lordships, reade it, And you shall finde there, with what vehemency He did sollicite _Beaumelle_, how he had got A promise from her to inioy his wishes, 185 How after he abiur’d her company, And yet, but that ’tis fit I spare the dead, Like a damnd villaine, assoone as recorded, He brake that oath, to make this manifest Produce his bands and hers. _Enter Aymer_, _Florimell_, _Bellapert_. _Charmi._ Haue they tooke their oathes? 190 _Rom._ They haue; and rather then indure the racke, Confesse the time, the meeting, nay the act; What would you more? onely this matron made A free discouery to a good end; And therefore I sue to the Court, she may not 195 Be plac’d in the blacke list of the delinquents. _Pont._ I see by this, Nouals reuenge needs me, And I shall doe. _Charmi._ ’Tis euident. _Nou. se._ That I Till now was neuer wretched, here’s no place To curse him or my stars. _Exit Nouall senior._ _Charmi._ Lord _Charalois_, 200 The iniurie: you haue sustain’d, appeare So worthy of the mercy of the Court, That notwithstanding you haue gone beyond The letter of the Law, they yet acquit you. _Pont._ But in Nouall, I doe condemne him thus. 205 _Cha._ I am slayne. _Rom._ Can I looke on? Oh murderous wretch, Thy challenge now I answere. So die with him. _Charmi._ A guard: disarme him. _Rom._ I yeeld vp my sword Vnforc’d. Oh _Charaloys_. _Cha._ For shame, _Romont_, Mourne not for him that dies as he hath liu’d, 210 Still constant and vnmou’d: what’s falne vpon me, Is by Heauens will, because I made my selfe A Iudge in my owne cause without their warrant: But he that lets me know thus much in death, With all good men forgiue mee. _Pont._ I receiue 215 The vengeance, which my loue not built on vertue, Has made me worthy, worthy of. _Charmi._ We are taught By this sad president, how iust foeuer Our reasons are to remedy our wrongs, We are yet to leaue them to their will and power, 220 That to that purpose haue authority. For you, _Romont_, although in your excuse You may plead, what you did, was in reuenge Of the dishonour done vnto the Court: Yet since from vs you had not warrant for it, 225 We banish you the State: for these, they shall, As they are found guilty or innocent, Be set free, or suffer punishment. _Exeunt omnes._ _FINIS_ First Song.
