"The Spanish Tragedie"


Come in, old man; thou shalt to Izabell.
Leane on my arme; I thee, thou me shalt stay;
And thou and I and she will sing a song,
Three parts in one, but all of discords fram'd, --
Talke not of cords! -- but let vs now be gone, --
For with a cord Horatio was slaine.
Exeunt.

[ACT III. SCENE 14.]
[The Spanish court.]
Enter KING OF SPAINE, the DUKE, VICE-ROY, and
LORENZO, BALTHAZAR, DON PEDRO, and BELIMPERIA.
KING. Go, brother, it is the Duke of Castiles cause;
Salute the vice-roy in our name.
CASTILE. I go.
VICE. Go forth, Don Pedro, for they nephews sake,
And greet the Duke of Castile.
PEDRO. It shall be so.
KING. And now to meet these Portaguise;
For, as we now are, so sometimes were these,
Kings and commanders of the westerne Indies.
Welcome, braue vice-roy, to the court of Spaine!
And welcome, all his honorable traine!
Tis not vnknowne to vs for why you come,
Or haue so kingly crost the seas.
Suffiseth it, in this we note the troth
And more then common loue you lend to vs.
