PATRICK. Luis, though a low position Mine is here, and I observe thee Raised to fortune's highest summit, Yet I feel more grief than envy At thy rise. Thou art a Christian; Show thyself one now in earnest. LUIS. Patrick, let me now enjoy The first favours fate has sent me After so much sad misfortune. PATRICK. One word, then (if thou wilt let me So presume), I ask of thee. LUIS. What is that? PATRICK. Upon this earth here, Once again, alive or dead, That we two shall meet together. LUIS. Such a word dost ask me? PATRICK. Yes. LUIS. Then I give it. PATRICK. I accept it. [Exeunt. * * * * * SCENE IV. A HAMLET NEAR THE COURT OF EGERIUS. PHILIP and LUCY. LUCY. Pardon, if I have not known How to serve you as I ought. PHILIP. For much more than you have thought Must you my forgiveness own. For when I your kind face view, Pain and pleasure being at war, I have much to thank you for, And have much to pardon too. Thanks, with which my heart is rife, Are for life restored and breath; Pardon, for you give me death, As before you gave me life. LUCY. For such flattering declarations Rude and ignorant am I, So my arms will give reply; Which gets rid of explanations. Let their silent interfacing Figure what my words should be. * * * * * SCENE V. PAUL. -- THE SAME. PAUL [aside]. Eh, sirs! what is this I see? Some one here my wife's embracing. What's to do? I burn, I burst. Kill her? Yes. 'Twas fortune sent me. One thing only doth prevent me, Which is, she might kill me first. PHILIP. For your hospitable care, Beauteous mountaineer, I would That this ring's bright diamond could Far outshine a star of air. LUCY. Think me not a woman who Lives intent her gain to make; But I take it for your sake. PAUL. [aside'. What I wonder should I do? But if I'm her husband, then, As I saw him give the ring, Silence is the proper thing. LUCY. In these arms I once again Give to you my soul, for I Have no other ring or chain. PHILIP. Where I ever could remain:-- For such sweet captivity Lures me from the miseries Of remembering my sad fate, Caused, as you have seen, so late, By these crystalline blue seas. PAUL [aside[. What! a new embrace! Halloo! Don't you see, sir, Od's my life, That this woman is my wife? PHILIP. Here's your husband full in view; He has seen us. I must straight Leave you and return -- [Aside.} Ah, me! Couldst thou this, Polonia, see, Thou mightst mourn, perhaps, the state Unto which I see me doomed. And. O heaven-aspiring sea, Say in what vast depths can be All the lives thou hast entombed? [Exit. * * * * * SCENE VI. PAUL and LUCY; afterwards PHILIP. PAUL [aside]. As he's gone, I'll louder speak.-- This time, Lucy mine, I've caught you, So a present I have brought you: See this window-bar, 'twill wreak My revenge. LUCY. Oh, how malicious! Bless me, grumbler, what grimaces!
