Doctor.
I come,

2 Serv:
On yon'd side Stix there doth attend thee Charon,
Some grand Magnifico, or ells some Iudge,
Newly deseas'd, I see by's synns, & Roabes,
Both of a scarlett die;

1 Serv:
Wee'le haue him plac'd,
As a red Letter in our Callender,

May Covett rest, withall some little motion,
Would make his Phisicke worke, more naturally,
Play musicke, lett them enter,.

The Cares of Kings, tame his vnruly sences;
