true
TRAGEDY
OF
HEROD
AND
ANTIPATER

Actus

Scoena
1.
Enter
at
one
dore
Alexandra
in
her
petticoate
;
at
another
,
Aristobulus
the
high
Priest
in
his
wastcoate
or
shirt
,
both
amazedly
.
Qu.
Alexandra
.
O
My
thrice
Princely
Sonne
;
thou
hast
forgot
That
Time
's
our
Maister
,
and
wee
can
dispose
But
meerely
of
the
instant
.
Eld.
Arist.
Madam
true
:
Nor
haue
I
lost
a
moment
;
yet
I
know
,
No
diligence
appeares
to
those
,
whose
hearts
Doe
both
desire
and
waite
.
Q.
Alex.
Enough
,
enough
;
Come
let
's
away
,
my
heart
is
wing'd
with
haste
That
out-flies
thought
or
motion
;
Aegypt
(
sweete
)
Hath
safety
in
it
,
not
Ierusalem
.
Eld.
Arist.
I
doe
confesse
it
;
yet
this
dangerous
way
Of
our
escape
,
hath
many
feares
about
it
.
Q.
Alex.
There
's
pregnant
reason
for
it
,
and
our
liues
Are
markes
that
Herod
shoots
at
:
Who
but
sees
The
wofull
state
of
sad
Ierusalem
,
And
how
this
Tyrant
(
like
an
angry
Boare
)
Roots
vp
the
goodly
Pines
should
couer
him
?
Hath
he
not
slaine
Antigonus
,
destroyd
Thy
Father
and
thy
Grandsire
:
(
O
my
Lords
,
My
deare
lou'd
Lords
,
my
Father
and
my
Husband
;
)
Worthy
Hircanus
,
noble
Alexander
;
And
at
this
instant
lies
hee
not
in
waite
For
our
destructions
?
Beldame
that
I
am
To
prate
at
such
a
season
;
(
holy
Sweete
)
Come
let
's
away
,
our
flight
is
so
secure
,
No
Art
can
vndermine
it
;
any
pause
Opens
our
graues
before
vs
:
flye
,
O
flye
.
Eld.
Arist.
I
doe
attend
your
Highnesse
.
Q.
Alex.
Harke
,
I
heare
The
steps
of
some
pursues
vs
;
prethee
come
,
Let
Aegypt
and
not
Iuda
be
our
Tombe
.
Exeunt
.
Enter
at
one
dore
Antipater
at
another
Animis
,
with
a
band
of
Soldiers
.
Antip.
Is
this
the
diligence
your
duty
shewes
,
To
runne
this
slothfull
pace
?
By
all
I
loue
,
Y'
are
worthy
of
blame
in
high
termes
.
Anim.
Princely
Antipater
Ant.
Y'
are
too
improuident
,
and
this
neglect
Will
draw
your
life
in
hazard
;
vnderstand
,
Th'
are
Lyons
and
not
Lambs
you
cope
withall
:
The
Mother-Queene
is
subtile
,
and
her
Sonne
Of
high
and
noble
spirit
;
should
they
scape
,
You
fixe
a
Ramme
to
batter
downe
the
life
Both
of
the
King
and
Kingdome
.
Ani.
Gracious
Sir
,
Feare
not
my
care
;
for
nothing
you
can
wish
Is
able
to
outstrip
my
diligence
.
Antip.
I
but
awake
the
duty
which
you
owe
Vnto
your
King
and
Countrey
;
when
that
moues
,
Children
are
strangers
,
Fathers
are
vnknowne
,
And
where
our
Princes
health
is
questioned
,
The
liues
we
either
borrow
or
doe
lend
Must
bee
forgot
and
made
ridiculous
:
You
vnderstand
me
,
goe
,
dispatch
,
away
.
Ani.
With
faith
great
as
your
longings
.
Exit
Animis
&
Soldiers
.
Ant.
So
,
why
so
;
Thus
haue
I
started
brauely
,
and
maintain'd
My
race
with
full
speed
to
ambition
;
Much
of
my
way
is
smoothed
by
the
deaths
Of
proud
Antigonus
and
Alexander
,
But
chiefly
of
Hircanus
,
till
hee
went
My
torch
could
neuer
kindle
;
could
I
now
But
dampe
the
high
Priest
Aristobulus
,
(
As
there
's
much
water
towards
)
and
in
it
Drowne
his
old
politique
Mother
,
halfe
my
way
Lies
as
my
thoughts
would
wish
it
;
and
how ere
By
birth
I
am
a
Bastard
,
yet
my
wit
Shall
beare
me
'boue
the
true-borne
;
for
't
is
found
,
Power
makes
all
things
lawfull
,
all
things
sound
.
Exit
.
Cornets
:
and
,
Enter
Herod
,
Marriam
,
Kiparim
,
Alexander
,
Aristobulus
,
Salumith
,
Pheroas
,
Ioseph
and
Attendants
.
Her.
Who
sits
on
the
Tribunall
,
sits
on
thorne
,
And
dangers
doe
surround
him
;
for
at
it
Enuy
stands
euer
gazing
,
and
with
darts
Headed
with
lightning
strikes
vnto
the
heart
Of
euery
noble
action
:
What
can
Kings
Doe
,
that
the
rude
not
censure
and
peruert
To
vilde
interpretations
?
Nay
,
although
Iustice
and
mercy
guard
them
;
though
mens
faults
Are
growne
so
odious
,
that
euen
Cruelty
Is
a
commended
goodnesse
,
meere
Distrust
A
reasonable
vertue
;
Secrecie
,
Important
and
most
needfull
;
and
Suspect
,
A
worthy
truth
,
which
needs
no
witnesses
:
Yet
,
in
this
case
,
(
where
men
cannot
erre
twice
)
What
shall
we
doe
,
that
shall
scape
Infamie
?
Ant.
Fine
dissimulation
!
Her.
O
't
is
a
hell
to
thinke
on
,
that
how ere
Our
natures
are
inclin'd
to
pitty
,
yet
Our
actions
must
be
cruell
(
or
so
thought
)
To
guard
our
liues
from
danger
;
wicked
men
With
their
sinnes
so
transforme
vs
.
O
my
Loue
,
This
vnto
thee
I
speake
,
whose
tender
heart
I
know
hath
bitter
thoughts
,
when
it
records
Thy
Fathers
and
thy
Grand-fathers
mishaps
:
'T
is
true
,
I
caus'd
them
dye
;
but
(
gentle
Sweete
)
Necessity
,
thy
safety
,
mine
,
nay
all
the
Lands
,
Were
my
most
iust
assistants
;
and
the
act
Was
noble
,
how ere
blam'd
of
Cruelty
.
Mar.
My
dearest
Lord
,
doe
not
mistake
my
temper
,
My
Grand-father
,
and
Father
,
when
they
fell
,
How euer
Nature
taught
mine
eyes
to
weepe
,
Yet
in
my
loue
to
you
I
buried
them
;
They
were
rich
Iewels
once
,
but
,
set
by
you
,
They
haue
nor
price
,
nor
lustre
;
't
is
mine
eye
That
pitties
them
,
my
heart
doth
honour
you
.
Ant.
O
y'
are
a
goodnesse
past
equality
,
And
all
the
blessed
times
which
are
to
come
Shall
with
more
admiration
then
beleefe
Receiue
th'
incredible
,
but
vndoubted
truth
,
Of
your
rare
mildnesse
,
faith
and
temperance
.
Her.
It
shall
indeed
;
and
be
this
kisse
a
seale
Of
our
perpetuall
loue-knot
;
yet
(
my
Queene
)
There
are
new
Treasons
hatching
,
which
(
beleeu
't
)
Wil
stretch
thy
patience
higher
:
Ioseph
,
reade
That
strange
and
cunning
Letter
.
Ioseph
reads
.
I
write
short
ALEXANDRA
,
for
feare
of
interception
;
that
Herods
cruelty
extendeth
to
the
death
of
thy
Husband
,
and
imprisonment
of
thy selfe
,
I
lament
:
ayd
I
cannot
send
thee
;
but
if
by
flight
thou
canst
escape
,
Aegypt
shall
receiue
thee
:
I
am
glad
thy
Sonne
Aristobulus
is
high
Priest
,
let
him
accompany
thy
Iourney
:
If
I
should
deale
for
thee
by
force
,
I
raise
two
mighty
enemies
,
Rome
and
Iuda
;
thou
art
wise
,
fare
as
my selfe
:
Thine
CLEOPATRA
,
Q.
of
Aegypt
.
Kip.
These
are
miraculous
Treasons
.
Sal.
Subtile
plots
.
Phe.
Strange
interwinding
mischiefes
,
Mar.
Say
not
so
,
Giue
them
a
gentler
title
;
nothings
read
That
doth
accuse
my
Mother
or
my
Brother
.
P.
Alex.
Indeed
't
is
but
an
inuitation
Of
others
Loue
,
not
their
confederacy
.
Y.
Ari.
Th'
Aegyptian
Queen
perswades
,
but
their
consent
Is
not
conceiued
heere
.
Her.
Deere
wife
and
Sonnes
,
Loue
hath
a
blindfold
iudgement
;
would
their
hearts
Were
harmelesse
as
your
wishes
;
but
heere
comes
The
man
will
reconcile
vs
:
Captaine
,
speake
,
Where
's
Alexandra
?
Where
's
Aristobulus
?
Enter
Animis
with
Soldiers
,
bringing
two
Trunks
.
Ani.
Sir
,
they
are
fled
.
Her.
Fled
!
do
not
speake
it
;
better
thou
hadst
sunke
To
hell
,
then
bring
that
mischiefe
.
Antip.
O
the
Diuell
!
This
was
your
hackney
pace
Ani.
By
all
that
's
true
,
I
haue
not
slackt
a
minute
;
they
were
gone
Ere
I
had
my
commission
,
and
so
fast
,
My
speed
could
not
outstrip
them
;
yet
I
tooke
This
luggage
and
their
Seruants
,
whence
(
no
doubt
)
Your
Maiesty
may
gather
new
instructions
.
Her.
Whence
I
may
gather
my
despaire
and
griefe
;
Villaine
,
thou
hast
betray'd
me
;
in
their
losse
,
I
'm
lost
to
fate
an
danger
:
Silly
Snaile
;
Could
Sloth
haue
crept
so
slowly
?
Why
,
thy
way
Was
smooth
as
glasse
,
and
thou
mightst
haue
surpriz'd
Them
easier
then
to
speake
it
.
O
you
Gods
,
What
plummets
hang
at
Vassals
heeles
;
and
how
Doth
sleepe
and
dulnesse
ceaze
them
!
But
I
vow
,
Thy
life
shall
pay
thy
forfait
.
Ani.
Gracious
Sir
:
Her.
Talk'st
thou
of
grace
;
and
in
this
act
hast
lost
,
All
things
that
's
like
,
or
neare
it
?
Did
not
scorne
Hold
me
,
my
hand
should
kill
thee
.
P.
Alex.
Good
Sir
,
thinke
—
Her.
That
y'
are
too
rude
to
offer
thus
to
thrust
'Twixt
me
and
my
resolution
.
Antip.
Not
a
word
;
'T
is
death
t'
outface
this
lightening
.
Her.
Lost
,
and
fled
,
and
gone
,
and
all
my
hope
Turn'd
topsie
turuie
downward
?
Ioseph
,
harke
.
Herod
whispers
with
Ioseph
,
and
beckens
all
the
rest
vnto
them
,
but
Marriam
,
and
Antipater
.
Mar.
Blest
be
the
God
of
Iuda
,
which
hath
brought
My
royall
Mother
,
and
my
Brother
safe
,
Out
of
the
hands
of
sad
Captiuity
.
O
,
I
will
offer
Sacrifice
each
day
,
And
make
that
houre
a
Sabbath
,
which
doth
bring
Them
safe
from
threatning
danger
.
Antip.
Madam
,
Amen
;
With
that
prayer
I
le
ioyne
euer
,
and
inuoke
Prosperity
to
guard
them
;
—
but
(
in
heart
)
Wish
that
damnation
,
like
a
Thunder-bolt
,
Would
beat
them
into
cynders
.
Her.
'T
is
resolu'd
,
Force
shall
compell
what
vertuously
I
would
Haue
sought
from
milde
intreaty
;
for
those
Trunks
,
Goe
throw
them
into
Silo
,
let
that
Lake
Deuoure
them
and
their
treasures
.
Ios.
Not
so
good
,
You
may
,
by
that
meanes
,
blind-fold
cast
away
What
you
would
after
purchase
with
your
blood
;
But
cannot
then
recall
it
:
Sir
,
conceiue
;
There
may
be
Complots
,
Letters
,
Stratagems
,
And
things
we
cannot
dreame
of
.
Kip.
Nay
,
perhaps
Some
new
negotiations
.
Sal.
Paper
tongues
,
That
may
discouer
strange
dissemblers
.
Her.
True
,
You
haue
preuail'd
,
breake
vp
those
rotten
Tombes
,
Le
ts
see
what
Ghosts
they
harbor
.
Ha
,
what
's
this
?
Here
they
breake
open
the
trunks
,
and
finde
Alexandra
,
and
Aristobulus
the
elder
.
Mar.
O
me
,
my
Mother
and
my
Brother
!
Eyes
Drop
out
and
see
not
their
destruction
.
Antip.
Vnhappy
chance
.
Ios.
Vnfortunate
young-man
.
Y.
Arist.
'T
is
fate
not
to
be
shunned
.
P.
Alex.
Woe
the
time
.
Her.
What
's
heere
:
the
high
Priest
like
a
Iuggler
?
Are
these
his
holy
Garments
;
this
his
Roabe
,
His
Brest-plate
and
his
Ephod
,
his
rich
Coate
,
His
Miter
and
his
Girdle
?
Can
it
be
,
That
this
was
once
Queene
of
Ierusalem
?
O
you
immortall
Gods
,
to
what
disguise
Will
Treachery
transforme
vs
!
Q.
Alex.
Rather
thinke
,
How
sharpe
a
plague
is
Tyrannie
:
O
King
,
Remember
't
is
the
fiercest
Beast
,
of
all
That
are
accounted
sauage
;
yet
delights
In
Flattery
,
which
is
the
worst
of
them
That
are
tame
and
domestique
:
With
these
Fiends
My
life
can
finde
no
pleasure
;
doe
not
then
Blame
me
to
seeke
my
freedome
.
Eld.
Arist.
Mighty
Sir
,
If
Life
bee
th'
onely
Iewell
Heauen
can
lend
,
And
that
in
the
Creation
was
not
made
A
thing
of
equall
purchase
;
how
can
wee
Offend
,
that
but
preserue
it
?
You
may
say
,
It
hath
deceiu'd
vs
;
yet
Sir
,
I
will
thinke
How ere
it
finish
heere
,
't
is
but
a
stroke
To
draw
it
forth
vnto
eternity
.
Her.
'T
is
a
good
resolution
;
for
(
beleeu
't
)
Your
dayes
on
earth
are
finisht
;
treacherous
plots
Like
these
,
shall
not
ore
take
me
.
Q.
Alex.
But
your
Tyrannie
Shall
out-runne
all
example
:
Sir
,
Despaire
Armes
me
with
truth
and
boldnesse
;
I
dare
now
Tell
you
,
of
Kings
,
you
are
the
wickedest
;
And
I
,
that
in
the
ruines
of
my
blood
,
Read
your
destroying
nature
,
and
collect
Into
a
short
briefe
many
Tragedies
,
Acted
vpon
our
family
;
what
hope
Is
left
,
that
can
assist
vs
?
Her.
You
are
plaine
.
Q.
Alex.
Truth
hath
no
need
of
figures
:
was
't
not
you
That
did
betray
Hircanus
in
his
flight
To
the
Arabian
Monarch
;
and
when
laid
In
harmelesse
sleepe
then
slew
him
?
Did
not
you
Hire
the
bloody
Cassius
to
cut
off
My
fathers
head
,
(
the
lou'd
Antigonus
?
)
Haue
you
not
kild
my
Husband
,
troad
my
Sonnes
Into
the
mire
,
that
you
might
safely
walke
Ouer
their
heads
vnto
Ambition
?
And
can
you
hope
,
that
wee
haue
any
hope
In
you
,
but
desolation
?
Her.
Your
despaire
Turne
temperance
into
folly
;
Charity
Would
more
become
the
dying
.
E.
Arist.
T
is
confest
;
Nor
is
it
lost
in
this
sad
Argument
:
We
know
our
liues
are
forfeyt
,
take
them
Sir
;
To
dye
,
is
the
first
contract
that
was
made
Twixt
Mankinde
and
the
World
;
t
is
a
debt
,
For
which
there
's
no
forgiuenesse
,
th'
onely
cause
For
which
we
were
created
;
and
,
indeed
,
To
die's
mans
nature
,
not
his
punishment
;
What
folly
then
would
shun
it
?
Boldly
Sir
,
Vse
what
your
power
hath
conquer'd
.
Her.
So
I
will
;
Your
owne
lips
are
your
Iudges
;
and
these
hands
,
Arm'd
with
these
two
Stillettoes
at
one
blow
,
Shall
thus
driue
all
feares
from
me
;
but
vnite
Offers
to
stab
,
le
ts
the
poniard
fal
,
&
imbraces
Ari.
&
Alex.
Two
friends
in
mine
imbraces
;
happy
ones
,
Exceediug
happy
ones
;
let
not
your
feares
Draw
to
your
eyes
false
figures
,
or
make
me
Appeare
that
which
I
am
not
:
come
,
I
loue
you
,
Dearely
I
loue
you
;
all
that
I
haue
done
Constraint
,
and
not
my
nature
perfitted
:
Be
henceforth
free
for
euer
;
Aegypt
,
nor
The
World
shall
safelier

The

The

Low

To

To

Augustus

Lies
buried
in

his

Strucke
from

Her.
Thou

Much
sorrow

Soone
as

Anthony

Hee
viewes
his

Now

Bends
his

and
protests
,
That
Iuda

curse
They
euer

And

Vnto

Where

Princely

Of

Thy

Imbarque

Wer
't
not

But
t

now
No

onely
,
I
must
leaue
Two
sad
commandments
with
thee

Ant.
Speak
them
Sir

Without
exception
,
you
cannot
deuise
What
I

Her.
T
is
nobly
said
:
Thou

the
high
Priest
Aristobulus
,
And
knowst
how
like
a
heauy
waight
he
hangs
,
Pressing
our

downeward
;
if
hee
liue
Our
liues
haue
no
assurance
.
Ant.
T
is
resolu'd
,
Hee
neuer
sees
to morrow
;
soone
at
night
,
When
we
doe
swim
our
wager
,
I
le
so
teach
His
Holinesse
to
diue
,
that
on
the
earth
He
nere
shall
tread
to

Her.
Thou
hast
hit
The
obiect
that
I
lookt

Ios.
(
But
shot
wide
Of
goodnes

and
all

)
Her.
This
performd
,
There
yet
remaines
another
thing
to
doe
,
Which
neerelier
doth
concerne
me
.
Ant.
Speake
it
Sir
;
Your
pleasure
is
mine
Armour
.
Her.
Briefly
thus
,
If
through
my
fortune
,
or
Augustus
wrath
,
I
perish
in
this
Iourney
;
by
that
loue
,
Which
nature
,
fauour
,
or
my
best
deserts
Can
kindle
in
thy
bosome
;
I
coniure
And
binde
thee
on
the
first
intelligence
,
By
poyson
,
sword
,
or
any
violent
meanes
,
To
kill
my
Wife
Marriam

But
Herod

her
sweetnesse
;
which
perform'd
,
My
soule
in
death
shall
loue
thee
.
Ant.
Thinke
t
is
done
;
By
heauen
the
houre
which
tells
me
of
your
death
,
Is
th'
oure
of
her
destruction
;
I
haue
sworne
,
And
there
's
no
fate
can
change
me
.
Her.
Be
thy selfe

Constant
and
vnremoued

Ios.
Two
fiends
like
these

Exeunt

Ant.
Goe
Herod

happy
King
;
nay
Herod
,
goe
,
Vnhappy
,
cause
so
happy
;
happy
King
,
Whilst
th'
art
a
King
;
vnhappy
when
no
King
:
Hangs
then
mishap
or
hap
vpon
a
King
,
or
no
King
?
Then
Herod
,
be
no
King
;
Antipater
be
King
:
And
what
's
a
King
?
a
God
:
and
what
are
Gods
,
but
Kings
?
Ioue
,
Prince
of
Gods
,
was
petty
King
of
paltry
Creete
;
Men
subiect
are
to
Kings
and
Gods
;
but
of
the
twaine
,
Their
Gods
than
Kings
commands
,
they
rather
disobay
;
Kings
greater
then
;
nay
,
better
then
,
then
Gods
:
Then
but
a
King
or
God
,
naught
with
Antipater
;
And
rather
King
then
God
;
no
God
;
a
King
,
a
King
.
When
I
complaine
to
Eccho
but
head-aking
;
it
cries
,
a
King
:
When
I
,
in
mirth
,
am
musique
making
;
it
sounds
,
a
King
:
Each
sight
,
when
I
am
waking
;
presents
a
King
:
When
I
my
rest
am
taking
;
I
see
a
King
.
Last
night
I
saw
,
or
seem'd
to
see
;
nay
,
sure
I
saw
A
Crown
hang
ore
my
head
;
&
throgh
the
Crown
a
Sword
:
I
saw
,
I
sigh'd
,
I
cryed
,
O
when
?
O
when
?
Fall
Crowne
;
yea
fall
with
Sword
;
fall
both
,
so
one
may
fall
:
But
why
dreame
I
of
falling
,
that
must
rise
;
Nay
runne
,
nay
leape
,
nay
flie
vnto
a
Crowne
?
Gyants

on

,
to

high
Heauen
;
I
,
heads
on

,
to

a
Kingdomes
Skye
:
But
oh
,
I
am
a
Sonne
;
a
Sunne
,
O
happy
name
;
A
Sunne
must
shine
alone
,
obscuring
Moone
,
and
Starres
:
I
,
but
I
am
a
Bastard
;
what
of
that
?
Men
base
by
birth
,
in
worth
are
seldome
base
;
And
Natures
Out-casts
,
still
are
Fortunes
Darlings
:
Bacchus
,
Apollo
,
Mercury
;
Bastards
,
yet
brauest
Gods
:
Then
,
why
not
I
a
God
,
a
Demi-God
,
or
Worthy
?
You
Gods
,
you
Demi-Gods
,
you
Worthies
then
assist
me
;
That
,
as
our
birth
was
like
,
our
worth
may
beare
like
price
:
If
they
refuse
;
come
Deuils
,
and
befriend
me
;
My
breast
lies
open
;
come
;
come
Furies
and
possesse
it
;
Hatch
heere
some
monstrous
brood
,
worthy
of
you
and
me
;
Which
all
Posterities
may
know
,
but
none
beleeue
;
Whereat
the
Sunne
may
not
goe
backe
,
as
once
it
did
,
At
Atreus
tyrannie
;
but
fall
and
dye
for
euer
:
Wherat
the
Heau'ns
may
quake
,
Hell
blush
,
&
Nature
tremble
;
And
men
(
halfe
mad
)
may
stand
amaz'd
.
So
,
so
,
it
works
,
it
works
;
My
breast
swels
to
a
Mountaine
;
and
I
breed
A
Monster
,
past
description
;
to
whose
birth
,
Come
Furies

and

Mid-wiues

Musique

and
,
Enter
Egystus
and
Clitemnestra
dancing
a
Curranto
,
which
is
broken
off
by
the
sound
of
Trumpets
:
then
,
enter
Agamemnon
,
and
diuers
Noblemen
in
Triumph
:
Egystus
whispers
with
Clitemnestra
,
and
deliuers
her
a
sleeuelesse
shirt
;
then
slips
aside
:
Clitemnestra
imbraces
Agamemnon
,
he
dismisses
his
Traine
;
shee
offers
him
the
shirt
,
he
offers
to
put
it
on
,
and
being
intangled
,
Egystus
and
she
kils
him
;
then
departs
,
leauing
at
Antipaters
feete
two
Scrowles
of

.
Ant.
So
shall
it
be
;
shall
it
?
no
shalls
;
t
is
done
,
dispatcht
:
Who
can
resolue
,
can
doe
;
who
can
dispose
,
can
better
:
My
way
,
seauen
single
persons
,
and
two
houses
crosse
;
Supported
by
a
many
headed
beast
:
O
,
had
they
all
one
head
,
or
all
their
heads
one
necke
,
Or
all
their
necks
one
body
,
which
one
blow
might
broach
;
But
had
they
Hydra's
heads
,
Gerions
bodies
;
Hercules
,
By
making
them
away
,
would
make
his
way
to
Heauen
:
But
as
an
hunger-starued
Tyger
,
betweene
two
Heifers
,
Here
yawnes
,
there
gapes
,
in
doubt
where
first
to
fasten
;
So
doubt
I
where
to
set
my
pawes
,
but
care
not
where
;
My
Father
shall
be
first
,
that
order
be
obseru'd
;
Whose
death
I
wish
,
not
worke
,
lest
piety
be
wanting
;
Rome
will
I
hope
ease
me
of
that
disturbance
:
Herod
is
come
Augustus
,
friend
to
thy
foe
,
and
so
thy
foe
;
Keep
him
Augustus
,
nay
kill
him
Augustus
,
or
Ioue
kill
him
&
thee
;
Passe
he
by
Land
or
Sea
,
or
Hell
,
or
vnder
Heauen
:
O
Earth
;
food
vnto
him
,
or
none
,
or
noysome
giue
:
O
Sea
;
his
ships
or
sinke
in
sands
,
or
drinke
in
waues
:
O
Heauen
;
or
stop
his
breath
,
or
lend
contagious
breath
:
O
Hell
;
for
kindnesse
,
call
him
in
thy
wombe
:
In
summe
,
Gape
Earth
,
swell
Seas
,
fall
Heauen
,
Hell
swallow
him
:
But
,
let
me
see
;
what
say
my
hellish
Counsellors
?
Egystus
wooes
,
and
winnes
,
and
weares
a
Crowne
:
a
Queene
Receiues
with
loue
(
false
loue
)
the
Victor
King
;
vnam'd
,
She
cloaths
him
in
her
handi-worke
,
a
shirt
,
Which
had
no
head
or
armes
to
issue
out
;
Intangled
thus
they
slew
him
:
let
me
see
,
What
haue
they
left
?
thus
Clitemnestra
writes
;
Per
scelera
semper
sceleribus
tutum
est
iter
;
Fond
is
the
stay
of
sinne
;
sinne
safest
way
to
sinne
;
Egystus
leaues
this
axiome
;
Nec
regna
scotium
ferre
,
nec
tedae
sciunt
;
None
,
or
alone
;
Kings
can
indure
no
Riuals
;
I
vnderstand
you
well
;
and
so
will
worke
;
Whetting
against
my
Father
both
his
Wife
,
His
Sister
and
her
Husband
;
some
by
Feare
,
Some
by
Beleefe
,
and
some
by
Iealousie
:
Thus
rise
I
on
their
heads
,
and
with
their
hands
Rip
vp
their
naturall
Bowels
:
T
is
decreed
,
The
Plot
is
laid
,
Parts
must
bee
playd
,
No
time

Exit

Enter
Lime

Handsaw
the

and
Durt

Han.
T
is
a
good

Plot
,
and
full
of
Art
;
But
how
like
you
my
Modell
for

Timber-worke

Pretty

No

Thrust

Thus

And

In

Of

Two

Gracious

Th'
vnfortunate
destruction
of

The

Priest
Aristobulus
(
late
drownd
Within
the
Riuer
Rigill

so
takes
vp
Their

with
powerfull

Are

I
feare
too
weake

Royall
Sir

you
are
abus'd
in
your
credulity
;
It
is
not
griefe
but
malice
,
bitter
spleene
,
An
anger
I
may
call
Treason
,
which
keepes
backe
These
two
from
noble
duties
:
Sir
,
they
say
You
doe
vsurpe
,
and
are
a
Murderer
,
And
teach
all
yours
to
murder
;
that
you
are
No
lawfull
King
of

but
a
Greeke
Descended
basely

drawne
from
polluted

:
Prophane

what

That
Rancor

Sir

I
feare
Your

a

like

So

Is

Ant.
Brauely

Good

Will

Alas

what

Sal.
Desperate

Things

The

Your

Well

Affection

Almost
the
whole

finds
out

and
a
truth
,
Not
hidden
,
but
apparant
;
pray
you
Sir

Speake

what

reported
.
Ant.
T
is
not
fit
,
Nor
dare
I
credit
Rumor
,
chiefly
when
It
speakes
of
such
great
persons
;
yet
t
is
true
,
Many
vilde
things
are
vtterd

nay

Some

but
alas

Who

Slander

Sal.
Doe

It

Th

Patriarchs

Lodg'd

Bookes
of

Come
forth
and
tell

message
,
I
would
stand
Boldly
and
interpose

for
I

There

no

no

O

Torne

By

But

Q.
Alex.
You

Cannot

Her.
Say

You

Q.
Alex.
Of

of

Massacre

Murder
beyond

but
there

A
Hell
to

.
Her.
Good

no

Let

Mine

I
vow
,
Neuer
came
death
so
neare
me
;
or
did
force
My
teares
in
such
aboundance
;
but
you
know
,
Earth
must
not
question
Heauen
:
Yet
to
shew
My
faire
affection
to
your
Princely
Sonne
;
Within
an
Vrne
of
Gold
,
I
le
lodge
his
bones
;
And
to
his
Funerall
Rites
,
adde
such
a
Pompe
,
As
shall
amaze
Inuention
;
and
besides
,
There
's
not
an
eye
in
all
Ierusalem
,
But
shall
drop
sorrow
for
him
.
Q.
Alex.
Funerals
are
But
wretched
satisfactions
.
Kip.
Note

pride
.
Sal.
Yes

Daughters
fullennesse

Her.
Why
looks
my
louely
Marriam
downward
,
&
deiects
The
glory
of
her

?
I
had
thought
My
safe
returne
(
which
strikes
a
generall
ioy
Through
Iuda
and
Ierusalem
,
and
makes
Mount
Sion
so
triumphant
)
had
not
had
The
power
to
kill
her
comforts
:
Louely
one
;
How
haue
I
lost
thy
friendship
;
or
,
what
Fiend
Sends
this
Diuorce
betwixt

Mar.
Your

Dissimulation
.
Cruell
Sir

Y

and
prophan'd
A
Temple
held
you

.
Her.
What

your selfe
?
O
doe
not
speake
it
;
for
to
that
blest
Shrine
I
haue
beene
so
religious
,
that
the
world
Hath
oft
condemnd
me
of
Idolatry
:
And
can
you
then
accuse
me
?
Mar.
Yes

and
call
Your

heart
to
be
witnesse
.
Her.
Let
me
then
Be
strucke
with
fearefull
Thunder
.
Mar.
Sir

take
heed
;
Vengeance

Her.
Let
it
come
:
You
call
a
Loue
in

,
that
's
as
iust
As
Equity
or
Goodnesse
;
by
that
power
—
Mar.
Come
,
you
will
now
be
periur'd
;
but
I
le
stay
That
imputation
from
you
:
What
became
Of
your

,
when
you
bound
that
man
;
If
you
miscarried
in
your
worke
at
Rome
,
That
he
should
see
me
poyson'd
?
Start
you
now
?
O

a

Complot
.
Her.
Sir

Y'

The

Ant.
By

Hopes

I

As
Innocent

if
my

Ere
open'd

let
me
feele
Some
sodaine
fatall
iudgement
:
Gracious

Search
out
this

further

't
will
be
found
There

more
Treason
breeding
.
Her.
I

resolu'd
.
Madam

you

accus'd
me
;
and
I
stand
So
strongly
on
mine

,
that
you

Discouer

Informers
:
By
that

Once

did
faine
to

me
;
by
that
faith
Which
should
linke
married
couples

So

In

O

It

No

And

Haue

Within

And

Treachery

Ceaze

Stand

Against

Great

Nay

How

what
tumult
's
that
?
Phe.
O
my
dread
Lord
,
Grant
me
your
gracious
pardon
;
I
must
tell
A
sad
and
heauy
Story
;
yet
most
true
:
And
yet
'gainst
such
a
person
,
as
I
feare
Your
eare
will
not
receiue
it
.
Her.
Speake
;
'gainst
whom
?
Phe.
Against
the
Queene
.
Mar.
O
sacred
Truth
,
but
thee
,
I
haue
nor
sword
,
nor
armour
.
Her.
Vtter
it
.
Phe.
Since
your
departure
,
to
my
hands
she
brought
This
fatall
Violl
;
saying
,
Pheroas
,
Thou
art
the
Kings
Cup-bearer
;
by
my
loue
I
charge
thee
,
when
his
Maiesty
shall
call
For
wine
,
giue
him
this
Potion
;
t
is
a
draught
Shall
crowne
thee
with
great
fortunes
:
I
desir'd
To
know
the
nature
;
shee
,
with
solemne
oathes
,
Swore
it
was
nothing
but
a
wholsome
drinke
,
Compounded
with
such
Art
;
that
,
tasting
it
,
You
would
doate
of
her
beauty
,
and
become
A
very
Slaue
to
her
perfections
:
I
promis'd
to
performe
it
;
yet
my
feare
Arguing
with
my
Iudgement
,
made
me
try
The
vertue
on
a
Spaniel
;
and
I
found
It
was
an
odious
poyson
.
Omnes
.
Wonderfull
!
Phe.
After
this
triall
,
I
demanded
then
,
From
whom
her
Highnesse
had
it
:
she
affirm'd
,
From
the
Lord
Ioseph
;
but
by
stricter
search
,
I
found
this
Iew
was
he
compounded
it
.
Ach.
I
doe
confesse
the
Queene
of
Israel
Commanded
me
to
try
my
vtmost
skill
In
this
most
strong
Confection
;
said
it
was
To
proue
the
force
of
Simples
:
I
,
her
Slaue
,
Durst
not
to
disobay
her
;
yet
suspect
Made
me
reueale
it
to
this
Noble-man
.
Her.
How
answer
you
this
Treason
?
Mar.
Silently
.
Her.
That
's
a
confession
.
Mar.
Why
,
as
good
be
dumbe
,
As
speake
to
eares
are
glewd
vp
;
or
a
faith
That
's
arm'd
against
beleeuing
:
but
(
great
Sir

If
either
of
these
open
;
then

beleeu

,
Was

a

Ios.
Malice

Hell

Is

Nothing

To

Ha!

Hath

then
t

To

Those

P.

And

On

Vnlesse

Q.

Impudent

Is
that
all

canst
vtter
?
Haue
I
liu'd
To
see
thee
grow
thus
odious
,
to
forsake
The
chast
imbracements
of
a

,
For
an
incestuous
Letcher
;
to
become
The
Peoples
scorne
,
the

curse
,
The

disgrace
,
and
Israels
obloquy
;
Nay

O

Kip.
Heere

A

Q.

Packe

Runne
to
thine

:
What

a

A

Whore

a

Murderesse

Nay

a

O

Lightning

Destroy

Can

Q.

Is

Then

Be

Both

And

Betoken

Let

You

There

true
Iudge
ouer

And

Her.
T

the
Plea
Of

Conuay
those
wicked
creatures
,
with
your
Guard

Vnto
the
market-place

there
in

Of

Their

P.

Stay

The
Innocent

Blast

No

Should

Mighty

The

Compassion

To

A

.
Her.
Once

I

P.

How

The
chast
wombe
which

Which

Can

A

Y.
Arist.
Nay

Can

From

And

The

Did

The

I

Ant.
Sir

I
know
Your
wisedome
such
,
as
can
discerne
what
t
is
At
once
to
feare
,
to
suffer
,
and
to
dye
,
By
th'
hand
of
sterne
ambition
;
which
,
i
th'
end
,
Makes
still
her
habitation
like
the
place
Where
poyson
growes
,
so
naked
and
so
bare
That
dust
disdaines
t'
abide
there
.
Her.
Passing
true

But
I
le
root
out
that
vengeance
:
yet
againe
,
When
I
awake
my
memory
,
to
looke
Vpon
her
sweetnesse
,
goodnesse
,
and
conceiue
,
That
no
affaire
,
no
wisedome
,
or
fond
zeale
,
Which
oft
attainteth
others
,
could
touch
her
;
O
then
,
me thinkes
,
I
might
at

haue
breath'd
,
Before
I
had
condemn'd
her
;
Iustice
should
i
th
darke
of
these
confusions
,
borne
a
Torch
Before
Truth
and
mine
anger
:
but
alas
,
Folly
and
Rashnesse
led
me
;
and
I
'ue
lost
All
my
delight
at

throw

Antipater

Goe

O

stay
the
Execution
.
Ant.
Willingly
.
Yet
please
you
first
to
thinke
Whether
the
act
hurt
not
your
Maiestie
;
Kings
,
in
these
waighty
causes
,
must
not
play
At
fast
and
loose
;
their
wordes
are
Oracles
;
And
iudgement
should
pursue
them
.
Her.
Good
,
no
more
;
goe
stay
the
Execution
.
Ant.
Not
on
earth
is
there
a
man
more
willing
;
Yet
,
when
Kings
condemne
themselues
of

,
Who
can
blame
contempt
to
follow
after
?
Her.
Lord
to

how

lost
with

.
Antip.
I

Offers

Yet

beleeu

the
Maiesty
which

Against
contempt
shall

recouer
it

Her.
Yet
againe

Ant,
Sir
,
I
can
vanish
quickly
;
yet

behold
,
Heere
's
one

saue
my
labour
.
Enter
Pheroas
,
Her.
Speake
my
Lord
;
where
is
my
Queene
?
O
,
where
's
my
Marriam
?
Phe.
Sir

she
is
dead
.
Her.
Dead
?
Be
the
world
dead
with
her
;
for
on
earth
There
's
no
life
but
her
glory
:
yet
declare
How
dyed
the
wofull
Lady
?
Phe.
Like
a
Saint
.
Like
did
I
say
?
O
Sir
,
so
farre
beyond
,
That
neuer
Saint
came
neere
her
president
:
She
did
not
goe
,
as
one
that
had
beene
led
To
take
a
violent
parting
;
but
as
Fate
Had
in
her
owne
hands
thrust
her
Destiny
,
Saying
,
or
liue
or
dye
:
whilst
she
,
that
knew
The
one
and
th'
others
goodnesse
,
did
agree
Onely
to
dye
as
th'
act
most
excellent
.
Her
Mothers
bitter
railings
,
all
the
cries
Of
the
amazed
People
,
mou'd
not
her
;
No
not
one
poore
small
twinckle
of
her
eye
:
But
,
with
a
constancie
,
that
would
outface
The
brazen
front
of
terror
;
she
assends
Vp
to
the
fatall
Scaffold
;
and
but
once
Lookt
round
about
the
people
:
then
lifts
vp
Her
snow-white
hands
to
Heauen
;
Talkes
to
it
as
if
she
had
beene
in
it
:
then
fals
downe
Vpon
her
humble
knees
;
which
,
as
they
bent
,
You
might
behold
humility
retire
Downe
to
her
heart
;
and
left
within
her
eyes
Nothing
but
sweetnesse
flaming
:
whilst
vpon
And
round
about
her
,
Maiestie
did
hang
,
And
cloath
her
as
a
garment
:
to
be
briefe
,
Shee
tooke
the
stroke
,
not
as
a
punishment
;
But
a
reward
;
so
Saint-like
hence
she
went
.
Her.
Enough
,
too
much
;
th'
ast
slaine
me
Pheroas
;
O
,
I
haue
lost
in
her
death
more
true
ioyes
,
Then
Heauen
can
giue
or
,
earth

I
am
a
Traitor
to
my selfe
and

;
To
Nature
,
Vertue
,
Beauty
,
Excellence
;
I
haue
destroy'd
the
whole

;
for

her
,
It
had
no
Soule
,
nor
mouing
;
no
delight
,
No
triumph
,
glory
,
or
continuance
:
I
cannot
liue
to
lose
her
;
call
her
backe
,
Or
I
shall
dye
complaining
.
Ant.
This

Lose

And

if

Plead

Eue.
Madam

Nor

euer
since
his
Banishment
Cast
vp
his

count'nance

Q.
Alex.
T
is
most
strange
;
But
iudgement
still
pursues
him
;
yet
I
le
call
And
visit
his

His

How

Ad.
Desperately
ill

His

Madam
rageth
like
a
Plague

Once
spotted

t

That
doth
afflict
his

and
that
warre
Quickly
brings

destruction
.
Q.
Alex.
Whence
should
proceed
these
Passions
?
Ad
All
I
can
gather
is
his
Banishment
,
Which
,
drawing
something
to
his
Conscience
,
Makes
euery
thing
more
mortall
.
Q.
Alex.
Aduice
and
sufferance
is
a

cure
For
these
distempered
passions

But

Ad.

To

O

what
a

Whose

To

Q.

O

Q.
Alex.
Why

call

Phe.
Nothing

Was

that

Indeed

Phe.
O

Q.

Let
not
her
name
offend
you
;
she
deseru'd
A
death
more
horrid

and

end
vvas
iust
:
O
Pheroas
,
I
hated
her
for
that
Act
More
then
the
Scriech-Owle
day
;
and
vvould
my selfe
Haue

Executioner

Stept

Phe.

O

Nor

Phe.

Come

Truth

obscur'd

All

And

Pleaders

Makes

Ad.
Let

Q.
Alex.
Giue

Passion
abates

Eue.
This
is
strange
meditation
.
Phe.
I
doe
confesse
before
the
Mercy-seate
Of
Men
and
Angels
,
I
slew
Marriam
;
'T

I

falsly

Strucke

Slander

Shall

Hubbub

And
ouertakes

downe

In
Hell
amongst

Q.

Gentle

Name

which
thus
seduc'd
you

Phe.
Pardon
mee

I
dare
not

nor
I

you

guesse

Their
Characters
are

for

Let

all

all
vertuous

Q.
Alex.
But

Phe.
So

Left

To

Q.
Alex.
You

divulg'd
a
Mystery

O

Looke

Is

I

A

Not

Madam

Q.

If

The

By

But

And

And
on

Altar
lay
my
bleeding

;
Where
I

That

For

Q.

The

Briefly

The

In

of
the
God
of
Israel
,
(
Being
by

Is

The

,
In

,
in

,
in

,
is
euery

Fully
an
hundred
Cubits

and
besides
,
Twenty

Foundation
:
The
matter
is
white
Marble
;
euery
Stone
Twelue
Cubits
broad
,
and
eight
i
th'
outward
part
;
So
curiously
contriu'd
,
that
not
a
hayre
Differs
in
all
the
Building
:
euery
Gate
Is
clos'd
in
gold
,
and
so
enchast
and
set
With
precious
Stones
;
that

and

Barre
Studded

Diamonds

Close

,
stands
a
Court
Of

euery

stretcht

Seauen
hundred

all
the

Is
made
of

adornd
With
Pillars
of

Marble
;
from
whose
base
Toth
'
top
are
forty

and
thereon
Mounted
such
curious
Walkes
and

,
That

Within

Of

the
Body
and
large
Armes
,
Of

brought

:
The
Sprayes
and
lesser
Branches

are
compact
Of
Ophyr
Gold
;
more

and
radiant
:
The
Tops
and
Twines
,
whereon
the
Clusters
hang
,
Are
yellow
Gold
;
wrought
in
Assyria
:
The
Fruit
it selfe
is
Christall
;
and
so
ioynd
,
That
when
the
Sunne
looks
on
them
,
they
reflect
And
vary
in
their
colours
seuerall
wayes
,
According
to
their
Obiects

To

;
Such
Art

such
Wealth

and
Wonder
in
the
Frame
Is
ioynd
and
wed
together
;
that
the
World
Shall

but
this
Truth
Shall
still
hang
on

as
a
Prophesie
:
Blush
Art
and
Nature
;
none
below

Sunne
Shall
euer
doe
what
Herod
now

done
.
Her.
Enough

In

Why

Sal.
Belonging

Her.
Let

speake
freely
.
Eu.
It
pleas'd
my
Lady
Sir
,
this
other
day
,
(
Hearing
how
desperately
strong
sicknesse
rag'd
Vpon
Prince
Pheroas
)
for
some
speciall
cause
To
goe
and
visite
him
;
she
found
him
pain'd
,
Both
in
his
minde
and
body
;
vttering
forth
Many
distracted
Speeches
;
some
against
Your
Highnesse
person
,
most
against
himselfe
;
Saying
,
he
had
maliciously
accus'd
The
late
Queene
most
vniustly
:
in
the
end
,
He
makes
his
Lady
from
his
Study
bring
A
Violl
fild
with
Poyson
;
saying
,
this
Was
for
the
King
prepared
;
and
by
those
That
had
least
cause
to
hurt
him
:
vvhen
he
had
View'd
it
,
and
shew'd
the
venome
;
he
bequeathes
The
Violl
to
his
Lady
;
giues
her
charge
Of
safe
and
curious
keeping
,
till
his
eyes
Were
clos'd
in
death
for
euer
;
but
,
that
done
,
To
cast
it
forth
and
spill
it
on
the
ground
,
Where
none
that
liues
might
know
it
:
this
scarse
spoke
,
His
Soule
forsakes
his
Body
;
but
the
Glasse
My
Lady
,
and
his
sad
Wife
doth
preserue
,
I
feare
,
for
your
destruction
;
Marriams
Soule
Hath
strong
reuengement
promis'd
.
Her.
T
is
enough
;
Th'
ast
told
me
likely
danger
:
Hillus
with
Your
Guard
attach
the
Wife
of
Pheroas
;
Then
search
the
house
;
and
whatsoere
you
finde
Like
Poyson
,
see
you
bring
me
:
Animis
,
With
your
Guard
ceaze
my
Mother
;
goe
,
away
;
Be
carefull
,
&
be
happy
.
An.
Doubt

Ex.
An.
&
Hil.
Her.
Still
shall
I
thus
be
hunted
,
and
compel'd
To
turne
head
on
mine
owne
blood
?
Is
there
left
Nothing
to
guard
me
but
my
Cruelty
?
Then
let
my
Passion
conquer
and
keepe
downe
All
Mercy
from
appearing
.
Sal.
Sir
,
t
will
be
A
royall
Iustice
in

:
who
not
knowes
The
Lybian
Lyons
neuer
dare
approach
The
walls
wheron
their
spoiles
hang
;
Wolues
we
see
Fly
from
the
sound
of
those
Drums
,
which
we
know
Are
headed
with
their
owne
Skins
:
Sir
,
beleeu
't
,
Seuerity
brings
safety
.
Her.
T
is
most
true
,
And
I
will
hence
begin
to
study
it
.
How
now
,
whom
haue
you
there
?
Enter
Hillus
with
his
Guard
,
bringing
in
Adda
in
a
Chaire
.
Hil.
Sir
,
t
is
the
wife
of
the
deceased
Pheroas
.
Her.
By
what
meanes
comes
she
thus
disabled
?
Hil.
By
her
owne
fatall
mischiefe
:
when
she
saw
I
did
approach
her
Dwelling
;
first
she
barres
All
Dores
against
my
passage
;
then
,
her selfe
Mounts
vp
into
a
Turret
,
which
orelookes
What euer
stands
about
it
;
thence
she
calls
,
And
asks
me
what
I
came
for
;
I
declar'd
The
pleasure
of
your
Greatnesse
;
and
with
tearmes
Fit
for
her
royall
Calling
,
wisht
she
would
Obey
what
I
must
finish
:
She
returnes
An
answer
like
her
fury
;
said
she
would
Nor
yeeld
to
you
,
nor
mine
authority
.
Which
anger
being
ouer
;
she
cry'd
see
,
Thus
will
I
flye
to
Herod
;
and
that
spoke
,
Downe
from
the
Turret
did
she
throw
her selfe
As
if
a
VVhirle-winde
tooke
her
:
which
perceiud
,
I
made
the
Soldiers
catch
her
;
yet
the
force
Came
with
such
deadly
violence
,
that
some
She
struck
dead
vnderneath
her
;
and
her selfe
Bruiz'd
,
as
you
see
,
and
wounded
:
By
our
meanes
Hath
yet
so
much
life
left
,
as
may
resolue
,
VVhat
we
cannot
discouer
.
Her.
What
of
the
Poyson
?
Hil.
No where
to

found
.
Sal.
T
was
a
strange
desperate
hazard
.
Her.
But
a
toy
;
They
which
dare
doe
,
dare
suffer
;
desperate
Soule
,
Doe
not
play
with
more
mischiefe
;
but
confesse
,
VVhere
is
the
Poyson
,
which
thy
treacherous
Lord
(
Hauing
for
me
prouided
)
did
conuay
Vnto
thy
charge
and
keeping
.
Ad.
Sir
,
I
vow
,
There
nere
was
any
giuen

;
neither
had
My
Lord
a
thought
so
odious
.
Her.
Come
t
is
false
;
Nor
can
you
now
outstrip
me
;
to
denye
,
Is
but
to
adde
to
sorrow
;
or
confesse
,
Or
drinke
of
more
affliction
.
Sal.
Madam

It
will
be
too
apparant
,
trust
the
King
;
I

sue
and
begge
your

.
Nir.
T
is
aduice
Worthy
your
best
imbraces
.
Her.
Quickly
speake
;
For
I
am
sodaine
in
my
Cruelty
.
Ad.
What
shall
I
speake
;
but
,
that

tirannous
,
Thus
to
compell
a
falshood
;
I
protest
,
He

me
any
;
nor

I
Of
any
hidden
Poyson
.
Her.
Prepare
her
for
the
Torture
:
Shall
my
life
Lye

these
rotten
Caskets
,
and
not
I
Dare
to

Wretched

And

They

Stretch
her
out
like
a
Lutestring

Ad.
O

a
King
haue

O

Her.
Speake
truth

or

.
Ad.
O

my
weake
strength
cannot
beare
it
;

O

I

.
Her.
Doe

Ad.
I
doe
confesse
the
Poyson
;
that
my
Lord
Bequeath'd
it
to
my

;
that
it
was
Prepar'd
to
kill
you
:
but
(
great
Sir

Neuer
by

.
Her.
Who
then
became
the
Author
?
Ad.
Sir

't
was
Antipater
.
Sal.
Mischiefe
on
mischiefe
,
How
came
shee
by
that
knowledge
?
Her.
Antipater
!
how
,
from
Antipater
?
Ad.
Ere
his
departure
vnto
Rome
,
he
came
And
feasted
with
my
Lord
;
declar'd
his
hopes
;
And
that
betwixt
him
and
the
Crowne
,
did
stand
Nothing
but
your
weake
life
,
and
great
Augustus
fauour
:
The
latter
got
;
the
first
he
said
should
fall
,
And
vanish
in
a
moment
;
to
which
end
,
He
had
prepar'd
that
poyson
;
and
besought
My
Lord
to
keepe
it
safely
;
for
he
meant
At
his
returne
to
vse
it
.
Her.
Can
you
tell
by
whose
meanes
he
attaind
it
?
Ad.
He
bought
it
of
the
Iew
Achitophel
.
Her.
What
did
you
with
that
Poyson
?
Ad.
As
my
dead
Lord
commanded
;
on
the
grownd
I
cast
most
part
thereof
;
only
some
drops
Left
in
the
Viols
bottome
,
with
the
Glasse
,
(
At
her
most
strong
intreaty
)
I
bestow'd
On
the
Queene
Alexandra
.
Her.
Take
her

This
at

eas'd
your

Ha
Sir

Antipater

all
this
Antipater
?
O
Heauen

But
t
is
no
wonder
.
Nir.
Yes
,
that
Truth
Should
thus
come
forth
by
Miracle
;
till

Mischiefe

gone
safe
guarded

Your

Her.
Doubt

Enter

What

Q.
Alex.
Not

Her.
Not

Ad.
O

Too

O

Tirannous

The

Is

Q.
Alex.

If

Her.
Y'

A

Sirrah

Iew

Was

Then

Dis.
Alas

I

my

Her.
Was

Poyson

?
Dis.
O
Sir
,
by
all
likelihood
;
for
euer
your
Physitian
is
like
your
Hauke
;
the
greater
the
Fowle
is
that
he
kils
,
the
greater
is
still
both
his
reward
and
reputation
.
Her.
T

true
,
and

And

What

bleed
.
Q.
Alex.
T
is
vvelcome
Sir
;
a
sodaine
death
,
I
know
Is
terrible
and
fearfull
;
but
indeed
,
To
those
vvhich
doe
attend
it
,
and
doe
stand
Constantly
gazing
on
it
;
who
doe
liue
,
Where
it
scarres
none
but
Cowards
;
those
can
meet
,
And
kisse
it
as
a
sweet
Companion
:
T
is
vnto
those
a
Bugbeare
,
vvho
do
thinke
Neuer
on
Heauen
,
but
for
necessity
.
Your
Tyranny
hath
taught
me
other
rules
;
And
this
guest
comes
long

heere

To

Vertue

Drinks

Death

but

not
surprize

Ach.
Well
Madam
,
I
must
pledge
you
;
yet
before
,
I
le
doe
the
King
some
seruice
:
I
confesse
,
I
did
compound
the
poyson
;
't
was
prepar'd
To
kill
your
Maiesty
;
the
Plot
was
laid
Both
by
Antipater
and
Salumith
:
They
equally
subborn'd
me
;
each
bestow'd
Reward
vpon
mee
,
and
encouragement
:
T'
was
they
which
made
me
to
accuse
the
Queene
,
I
must
confesse
vniustly
;
they
,
long
since
,
Haue
shar'd
you
and
the
Kingdome
:
that
t
is
true
,
Be
this
last
draught
my
witnesse
;
for
no
Slaue
Madly
will
carry
falshood
to
his
Graue
.
Drinks
the
Poyson

Sal.
But
thou
dost

and
it
will
damne
thee
.
Her.
Say
not
so
;
I

smoake
vvill

and
my

Must
now
preuent
my
danger
.
Animis

Exe.
Ani.
&
Sal.
Guard
you
my
Sister
safely
:
Hillus
,
cause
Those
bodies
to
be
buried
:
you
Niraleus
,
Shall
make
for
Rome
with
all
speed
;
thence
,
bring
backe
That
false
,
ingratefull
,
proud
Antipater
:
Carry
the
matter
close
,
but
cunningly
:
For
that
poore
Soule
,
bid
our
Phisitians
With
all
care
to
respect
her
;
for
t
is
she
That
onely
can
accuse
our
enemies
.
Thus
runnes
the

of

now

And

Exeunt

Enter
at
one
Doore
,
Augustus
triumphant
with
his
Romans
;
at
another
Antipater

he
kneeles
and
giues
Augustus
Letters
;
which
lookt
on
,
Augustus
raises
him
,
sets
him
in
his
Chayre
,
and
Crownes
him
,
sweares
him
on
his
Sword
,
and
deliuers

Letters
:
then
,
Enter
Niraleus
,
he
giues
Antipater
Letters
;
hee
shewes
them
to
Augustus
;
then
,
imbracing
,
they
take
leaue
and
depart
seuerally
.
Iose.
Once
more
,
I
must
intreat
you
to
bestow
Much
on
Imagination
;
and
to
thinke
,
That
now
our
Bastard
hath
attain'd
the
top
And
height
of
his
Ambition
:
You
haue
seene
Augustus
Crowne
him
;
all
his
great
Requests
Are
summ'd
and
granted
:
therefore
,
now
suppose
He
is
come
home
in
Triumph
;
all
his
Plots
He
holds
as
strong
as
Fate
is
,
nothing
feares
;
(
So
braue
his
minde
inchants
him
)
how
at
last
,
He
falls
to
vtter
ruine
;
sit
,
and
see
:
No
man
hath
power
to
out-worke
Destinie
.
