Scen. 14.

Enter Satyres with Arismena and Castarina in Coffins.
Sat.
They are inclos'd in these, in them is hid
More riches then the world has left, but I
Sin in their praise, my tears shall expiate
My crimes.

Weepes.
Phil.
Which is my Arismena's Tombe.

Sat.
This.

Phil.
I will bedew this chest, whilst you Lariscus
Weep your griefes ore that.

Lar.
Oh Castarina!
Send from the Elizean fields thy ghost to call
Mee hence, let not my ayrie soule be pend
Within this lumpe of clay, and I be absent
From that rich place, thy purer parts doe blesse.

Phil.

My eyes grow dry, this brest has so much griefe I cannot
vent my tears.

Cleob.

I can supply what you doe lack, methinks I could imbalme
both corpes in mine, or else

Create a Sea with Rivers from my eyes.

Brac.
My sorrowes flow
So fast I want expressions for my griefes.

Sat.
Rise from the earth, your tears can't raise them from
Their silent Urnes.

Brac.
But yet they may perchance
Hasten my Journeys sooner then I dream't.

Aris., Ca.
Rather then so we'l rise and live againe.

They open the Coffins and rise from them.
Omnes.
Alive!

Sat.
Yes, and have I hope made you amends
For all the injuries I've done. 'Tis true
I oft have thought to woe Arismena
To consent to marry me, but I found
Her ever constant to Philaritus,
Besides this shape has frighted her, which thus
I now cast off.

Discovers himselfe.
Omnes.
Paromet.

Cleob.
Your father Castarina.

Cast.
I know it Sir, and was acquainted with
The plot, but had not leave to crown you sooner
With the happy newes, or else I should ere this
Have blest you from your fears:
And beg a pardon for the wounds I gave you.

speaks to her father.
Cleob.
You are call'd home, and every one rejoyceth
Your doom 's reverst.

Sat.
I've practiz'd all that's done
With this intent, that if I could procure
Arismena as my Love, I hop'd I sho'd
The easier intreat you to sue for my
Returne, which I doe finde you have obteyn'd
And doth exact my service ever and bindes
Me to entreat your pardon Arismena.

Aris.
I can forgive, and had you wrong'd me more
You have made a large and faire requitall, in
Giving me up chast unto Philaritus.

Phil.
Doe we not dream?

Aris.
Most certainely we are
Awake, and now made happy.

Cast.
At last
Our hearts meete.

Lar.
Never to be disjoyn'd.

Sat.
And once againe take Castarina from Her Fathers hands.

Lar.
Welcome again dear heart
To my own bosome.
And now the truth of the dark Oracle
Is clearly illustrated, Thou wast dead,
Dead to my hopes; and now I doe enjoy thee
After thy restitution to new life
Whence thy Lariscus doth derive his own,
Thy faithfull true Lariscus.

Cast.
I beleive it
Though you suspected me.

Lar.
Allow that errour.
A reconciliation and free pardon.
Henceforth I will be guarded with such care
A jealousie shall not assault one thought
Without repulse.

Graculus cries within.
Cleob.
What noyse is that?

Brac.
No more plots I hope.

Sat.
No, no,
'Tis Graculus whom I have caus'd to be
Kept close.

Brac.
O prithee free him all are friends.

Enter Graculus.
Sat.
Hee's here and I'le obscure my selfe.
