I did not think he would have struck me.

_1 Cit_.

As God save me la thou'rt as wild as a Buck, there's no quarel

but thou'rt at one end or other on't.

_3_.

It's at the first end then, for he'l ne'r stay the last.

_1 Cit_.

Well slip-string, I shall meet with you.

_3_.

When you will.

_1 Cit_.

I'le give a crown to meet with you.

_3_.

At a Bawdy-house.

_1 Cit_.

I you're full of your Roguery; but if I do meet you it shall cost

me a fall.

_ Flourish. Enter one running_.

_4_

The King, the King, the King. Now, now, now, now.

_ Flourish. Enter_ Arb. Tigr. _The two Kings and_ Mardonius.

_ All_.

God preserve your Majesty.

_Arb_.

I thank you all, now are my joyes at full, when I behold you

safe, my loving Subjects; by you I grow, 'tis your united love

that lifts me to this height: all the account that I can render

you for all the love you have bestowed on me, all your expences

to maintain my war, is but a little word, you will imagine 'tis

slender paiment, yet 'tis such a word, as is not to be bought but

with your bloods, 'tis Peace.

_ All_.

God preserve your Majesty.

_Arb_.

Now you may live securely i'your Towns,

Your Children round about you; may sit

Under your Vines, and make the miseries

Of other Kingdoms a discourse for you,

And lend them sorrows; for your selves, you may

Safely forget there are such things as tears,

And you may all whose good thoughts I have gain'd,

Hold me unworthy, where I think my life

A sacrifice too great to keep you thus

In such a calm estate.

_ All_.

God bless your Majesty.

_Arb_.

See all good people, I have brought the man whose very name you

fear'd, a captive home; behold him, 'tis _Tigranes_; in your

heart sing songs of gladness, and deliverance.

_1 Cit_.

Out upon him.

_2 Cit_.

How he looks.

_3 Wom_.

Hang him, hang him.

_Mar_.

These are sweet people.

_Tigr_.

Sir, you do me wrong, to render me a scorned spectacle to common

people.

_Arb_.

It was so far from me to mean it so: if I have ought deserv'd, my

loving Subjects, let me beg of you, not to revile this Prince, in

whom there dwells all worth of which the name of a man is

capable, valour beyond compare, the terrour of his name has

stretcht it self where ever there is sun; and yet for you I

fought with him single, and won him too; I made his valour stoop,

and brought that name soar'd to so unbeliev'd a height, to fall

beneath mine: this inspir'd with all your loves, I did perform,

and will for your content, be ever ready for a greater work.

_ All_.

The Lord bless your Majesty.

_Tigr_.

So he has made me amends now with a speech in commendation of

himself: I would not be so vain-glorious.

_Arb_.

If there be any thing in which I may

Do good to any creature, here speak out;

For I must leave you: and it troubles me,

That my occasions for the good of you,

Are such as call me from you: else, my joy

Would be to spend my days among you all.

You shew your loves in these large multitudes

That come to meet me, I will pray for you,

Heaven prosper you, that you may know old years,

And live to see your childrens children sit

At your boards with plenty: when there is

A want of any thing, let it be known

To me, and I will be a Father to you:

God keep you all.

[_ Flourish. Exeunt Kings and their Train_.

_ All_.

God bless your Majesty, God bless your Majesty.

_1_.

Come, shall we go? all's done.

_ Wom_.
