Scen. 2.
Enter Cleobulus.Cleob.
Would you with me?
Brac.
Yes.
Cleob.
Speak your intents.
Brac.
Philaritus—
Cleob.
Shall not injoy your daughter.
Brac.
'Tis not my suite.
Cleob.
Say y'so Sir, I shall with far more patience
hear you.
Brac.
Briefly thus
I am inform'd, and tis a serious truth
Your sonne Philaritus (whose noble soule
Cannot indure a Rivall in his Love)
Hath sent a Challenge to Lariscus
O Sir think what deserved pitty 'twill excite
51
Should be cut off from earth ere their full growth
As by a violent Tempest, So, or one
Or both are like to perish, for this morne
They are resolv'd to try their skill at Armes.
Cleob.
Which you would have me to prevent?
Brac.
It is your part.
Cleob.
Ah, Ah, Ah;
You are mistaken then, for well I finde
Your aime, and see you do contrive this plot
To win me to consent Philaritus
Should marry Arismena; but you are too
Too young to cheat a Fox, and therefore
Ought to take more subtiler wayes then this
Why you contemn'd my Sonne but now, and if
That rage sprang from the heart, you would be glad
He should receive the danger you pretend.
Brac.
My rage was grounded here, and know right Sir
I cannot, neither will I now repent
What then my passion utter'd, I have more
Of man within me, yet see here's the Challenge
Sent from Castarina, which I will keepe
Though eminent mischiefe follow; Id little thought
This discovery of your Sons danger wo'd
Have merited this entertainment.
So your best fate protect you.
Exit.
Cleob.
May be
That Bracheus is noble in his thoughts
And truly doth intend the good of young
Philaritus: Why should he else affirme
Hee has the the challenge? and means nothing else
But friendship with Cleobulus? I was
Too hasty in my speech, and therefore will
Send for him back; within there tell Bracheus
I'd speak with him.
Enter Coridon.
Cor.
I shall Sir.
Exit.
Cleob.
If now
52
Whether it be Philaritus his hand
Or no, and then I soon shall finde his plot.
