Scen. 6.
Aberden, Yernomoy, Fafrisius, Buzaraine, Nevermo.Aber.
The Legate is dismist from them, 'tis well
Their answer riseth so high against our will,
Which hath bid stern Mars stand off, and the Brute
Of troy-novant his race, hath stood with his
Shoulders pending to the ground, by its
Massy and assured waight, blest in the
Perifery of a swallowing main, burst
Great Numenia's wall, make skies to eccho
As you do at Rome, when Pope stand elevated,
Quell you their voyce by your secret harmony,
That will make Hercules for to wonder,
And Leo rejoyce to hear such single notes,
And Tygers repeat it as a loving Song;
That when the Inhabitants hear, struck with the
Amazement of a terrours will, terming it
Thunder; let Auster, Boreas, and the other two,
Of Cardinall points, your fame blow aloud,
In represention of (wrongs new redrest)
Not to be vail'd by curtain of a foe,
Or frightment, but fully resolved to be
Revenged of th'quarrell, and his Majesty.
Yer.
Our glorious purpose, like the sparkling star,
Gives light in dark, when leaden Saturn stands
Nigh on his side, whose pale-fac'd tanyed state
Makes splendor rise of th'star above the rest,
When all the mists and watrish vapours of
The middle Region cannot withstand him;
But like a Diamond among pebble stones,
Cast bighter blaze above the rest, then them;
So we proceed, excell the others hope.
Faf.
Liberty stands bound, when with the crafty
Whistle, or second sound of their advanced
Childish fear, we will afford upon their
Terrestiall plains, such unheard language,
That shall not by graduation, but at first
Seize on their clownish brains, and endue
Our native Land unto posterity,
With victorious praise.
Buza.
Right, Fafrisius,
The cælestiall Quiers runs counter for to
Gain us trophies by their help; for the Globe
Which was the Antipodes Land, is now ours
By fortunes onely guiding, by womens
Innocent looks, strives with her force and will
To have all good for us, and nothing ill.
Nev.
Your speeches are fully poys'd, no venture done,
No good is had, we'l strike an oblick cross
Unto their Land, if't be for no cause else,
But for our Countries good, as for our King;
That all the Penates with divine sound,
Blesse all the Cities, Towns, and Castles of our Land,
With most tranquillous times, Linraides
Spreads Fields with Flora's Vesprey, and that Sol
May have perpetuall motion in the Ram,
Though hot and chollerick, yet a handsome
Spring, which shall bestow on this the Title
Of a fruitfull soyl.
Abe.
Your souls are generous
To the last—
Yer.
And doth hope for to endure.
Aber.
As long as blood doth warm the heart.
Faf.
We will
not flinch our ground.
Aber.
Your valour's stout,
Much like a Trojan blade.
Buz.
Or Irish Moor,
Who never stept from him that gain'd
Ground.
Aber.
Then you will fight?
Nev.
VVe will my Leige.
Aber.
Then let valour range her course, go see what
Ships are rig'd, and Gallies fit for sayl,
Bestride the Sea, with the whole Navy of
Our Army, ten thousand Ships well prepared,
To bear within concaves of their vast
Great bellies, both men and Ammunition,
Shot, under the conduct of Hollarro Prince,
Twelve thousand horse, and forty thousand foot,
Bearing the colours of a golden Ball
Set in a large black field, with chevern of
Three Mullits ore; next him, you Yernomoy,
Bring up a wing of thirty thousand foot,
Furnish'd with pike and sword, musket and bandalere
And all displayed, with Griffins rampant on
Their shield; so you Fafrisius follow next
With nine thousand horse, well saddled, bearing
A Rose upon their Armes, beset in Arg.
Buzaraine, with your Captains and the rest,
As Nevermo, stand you a distance from the rest,
VVith nine thousand both of foot and horse,
To aid these Lords, if that need require.
VVhat subject you take, bring home unto my Queen,
These are all your precepts.
Omnes.
Heavens bless Aberden King, and prosper his success.
Exeunt.
