Lord; is your Lady plac't?
_Mel_. Yes Sir, I thank you my Lord _Calianax_: well met, Your causless hate to me I hope is buried. _Cal_. Yes, I do service for your Sister here, That brings my own poor Child to timeless death; She loves your friend _Amintor_, such another false-hearted Lord as you. _Mel_. You do me wrong, A most unmanly one, and I am slow In taking vengeance, but be well advis'd. _Cal_. It may be so: who placed the Lady there so near the presence of the King? _Mel_. I did. _Cal_. My Lord she must not sit there. _Mel_. Why? _Cal_. The place is kept for women of more worth. _Mel_. More worth than she? it mis-becomes your Age And place to be thus womanish; forbear; What you have spoke, I am content to think The Palsey shook your tongue to. _Cal_. Why 'tis well if I stand here to place mens wenches. |
