ACT 5. SCENE 1.
Philocles. Philargus.
Philoc.
Brother, and friend, I'm deaf to all deswasion.
I charge you by Eudina's love, our friendship,
And (if there be) ought that you hold more sacred,
Move not to alter my fix'd resolution.
Philar.
That resolution's mine; And I conjure you
By the self-same respects, and all that are
Or may be hollowed, to let me depart.
I will remove but for some few daies journey
Whence you shall duly hear from me. But rather
I'le travail to th' Antipodes, then here
Linger the vain impediment of your joyes
In your Eudina.
Philoc.
Travel's my design.
Eudina must be yours. She is a bliss
Which heaven created for you.
Philar.
Can a bliss
Be purchas'd with your absence? No: 'Twil torture
Equally in fruition as in want.
Were it a Kingdom onely, we could part it
Without the quarrel of the Thebean brothers;
Or, were it heaven it self, Castor and Pollux
Should have our imitation. But Eudina
Is onely indivisible.
