Has stirr'd my worthy friend, who is as slow
To fight with words, as he is quick of hand? _Mel_. That heap of age which I should reverence If it were temperate: but testy years Are most contemptible. _Amint_. Good Sir forbear. _Cal_. There is just such another as your self. _Amint_. He will wrong you, or me, or any man, And talk as if he had no life to lose Since this our match: the King is coming in, I would not for more wealth than I enjoy, He should perceive you raging, he did hear You were at difference now, which hastned him. _Cal_. Make room there. _Hoboyes play within_. _Enter King, Evadne, Aspatia, Lords and Ladies_. _King_. _Melantius_, thou art welcome, and my love Is with thee still; but this is not a place To brabble in; _Calianax_, joyn hands. _Cal_. He shall not have my hand. |
