And now she sees thee how will she reioyce?
_Serg._ See where her seruitors passe through the hall Bearing a banket, _Dido_ is not farre. _Illio._ Looke where she comes: _Ãneas_ viewd her well. _Ãn._ Well may I view her, but she sees not me. _Enter Dido and her traine._ _Dido._ What stranger art thou that doest eye me thus? _Ãn._ Sometime I was a Troian mightie Queene: But _Troy_ is not, what shall I say I am? _Illio._ Renowmed _Dido_, tis our Generall: warlike _Ãneas_. _Dido._ Warlike _Ãneas_, and in these base robes? Goe fetch the garment which _Sicheus_ ware: Braue Prince, welcome to Carthage and to me, Both happie that _Ãneas_ is our guest: Sit in this chaire and banquet with a Queene, _Ãneas_ is _Ãneas_, were he clad In weedes as bad as euer _Irus_ ware. _Ãn._ This is no seate for one thats comfortles, May it please your grace to let _Ãneas_ waite: For though my birth be great, my fortunes meane, Too meane to be companion to a Queene. |
