_Arb_.

I have liv'd To conquer men and now am overthrown Only by words Brother and Sister: where Have those words dwelling? I will find 'em out, And utterly destroy 'em; but they are Not to be grasp'd: let 'em be men or beasts, And I will cut 'em from the Earth, or Towns, And I will raze 'em, and the[n] blow 'em up: Let 'em be Seas, and I will drink 'em off, And yet have unquencht fire left in my breast: Let 'em be any thing but meerly voice.

_Pan_.

But 'tis not in the power of any force, Or policy to conquer them.

_Arb_.

_Panthea_, What shall we do?

Shall we stand firmly here, and gaze our eyes out?

_Pan_.

Would I could do so, But I shall weep out mine.

_Arb_.

Accursed man, Thou bought'st thy reason at too dear a rate, For thou hast all thy actions bounded in With curious rules, when every beast is free: What is there that acknowledges a kindred But wretched man? Who ever saw the Bull Fearfully leave the Heifer that he lik'd Because they had one Dam?

_Pan_.

Sir, I disturb you and my self too; 'Twere better I were gone.

_Arb_.

I will not be so foolish as I was, Stay, we will love just as becomes our births, No otherwise: Brothers and Sisters may Walk hand in hand together; so will we, Come nearer: is there any hurt in this?

_Pan_.

I hope not.

_Arb_.

Faith there is none at all: And tell me truly now, is there not one You love above me?

_Pan_.

No by Heaven.

_Arb_.

Why yet you sent unto _Tigranes_, Sister.

_Pan_.

True, but for another: for the truth--

_Arb_.

No more, I'le credit thee, thou canst not lie, Thou art all truth.

_Pan_.

But is there nothing else, That we may do, but only walk? methinks Brothers and Sisters lawfully may kiss.

_Arb_.

And so they may _Panthea_, so will we, And kiss again too; we were too scrupulous, And foolish, but we will be so no more.

_Pan_.

If you have any mercy, let me go To prison, to my death, to any thing: I feel a sin growing upon my blood, Worse than all these, hotter than yours.

_Arb_.

That is impossible, what shou'd we do?

_Pan_.

Flie Sir, for Heavens sake.

_Arb_.

So we must away, Sin grows upon us more by this delay.

[_Exeunt several wayes_.

_Actus Quintus_.

_Enter_ Mardonius _And_ Lygones.

_Mar_.

Sir, the King has seen your Commission, and believes it, and freely by this warrant gives you power to visit Prince Tigranes, your Noble Master.

_Lygr_.

I thank his Grace and kiss his hand.

_Mar_.

But is the main of all your business ended in this?
