Ach.
My Lords
This is the Gentleman I would haue you obserue
Henceforward as my Husband, and your Prince.
Meethinkes I see you wonder; Pray you why?
Am not I your Vndoubted Queene? It will then
Better becom your Dutyes to Applaud,
Then question my Entents. My Lord, and Loue
The Queene mounts the Chaire & Places Cal: by her
Take thy Owne Spirit, and be what thou art.
This Bashfulnesse is unbeseeming Man;
Giue mee a Sacred kisse; for wee are now soe.

Cali.
Madam since tis your will to think mee Worthy
Yor Sacred Person, & the World's great Enuy
I must not be soe rude to Underualew
What yor Opinion onely has made noble;
But with this boldnesse I could wish yor Loue had
Run in another Channell; you haue Lost
A Better Seruant, and more worthy this Place
Then I am.

Ach.
Lead to the Closset where wee will unite
Two Bodyes to One Soule

Good Madam, be more Wise

To interupt my Purpose, you shall Lead
