_King_. This is no time
To force you to't, I do love you both: _Calianax_, you look well to your Office; And you _Melantius_ are welcome home; begin the Mask. _Mel_. Sister, I joy to see you, and your choice, You lookt with my eyes when you took that man; Be happy in him. [_Recorders_. _Evad_. O my dearest brother! Your presence is more joyful than this day can be unto me. _The Mask_. _Night rises in mists_. _Nigh_. Our raign is come; for in the raging Sea The Sun is drown'd, and with him fell the day: Bright _Cinthia_ hear my voice, I am the Night For whom thou bear'st about thy borrowed light; Appear, no longer thy pale visage shrowd, But strike thy silver horn through a cloud, And send a beam upon my swarthy face, By which I may discover all the place And persons, and how many longing eyes Are come to wait on our solemnities. |
