_Amin_. I am now dissolved: My frozen soul melts: may each sin thou hast, Find a new mercy: Rise, I am at peace: Hadst thou been thus, thus excellently good, Before that devil King tempted thy frailty, Sure thou hadst made a star: give me thy hand; From this time I will know thee, and as far As honour gives me leave, be thy _Amintor_: When we meet next, I will salute thee fairly, And pray the gods to give thee happy dayes: My charity shall go along with thee, Though my embraces must be far from thee. I should ha' kill'd thee, but this sweet repentance Locks up my vengeance, for which thus I kiss thee, The last kiss we must take; and would to heaven The holy Priest that gave our hands together, Had given us equal Vertues: go _Evadne_, The gods thus part our bodies, have a care My honour falls no farther, I am well then. _Evad_. All the dear joyes here, and above hereafter Crown thy fair soul: thus I take leave my Lord, And never shall you see the foul _Evadne_ Till sh'ave tryed all honoured means that may Set her in rest, and wash her stains away. [_Exeunt_. _Banquet. Enter King, Calianax. Hoboyes play within_. _King_. I cannot tell how I should credit this From you that are his enemy. _Cal_. I am sure he said it to me, and I'le justifie it What way he dares oppose, but with my sword. _King_. But did he break without all circumstance To you his foe, that he would have the Fort To kill me, and then escape? _Cal_. If he deny it, I'le make him blush. _King_. It sounds incredibly. _Cal_. I, so does every thing I say of late. _King_. Not so _Calianax_. _Cal_. Yes, I should sit Mute, whilst a Rogue with strong arms cuts your throat. _King_. Well, I will try him, and if this be true I'le pawn my life I'le find it; if't be false, And that you clothe your hate in such a lie, You shall hereafter doat in your own house, not in the Court. _Cal_. Why if it be a lie, Mine ears are false; for I'le be sworn I heard it: Old men are good for nothing; you were best Put me to death for hearing, and free him For meaning of it; you would ha' trusted me Once, but the time is altered. _King_. And will still where I may do with justice to the world; You have no witness. _Cal_. Yes, my self.
