ACT 5. SCEN. 4.
Enter Albertus, Lycespes.
Albert.
COntinue still worthy Lycespes,To let him know repentance needs no blushes.Or that 'tis necessary for Fate or us,To persue cruell actions, yet with a gentle handThat no distraction mingle with his nature;For he is young, and youth's unsetled furieIs ready still to act,
Lyc.
I have Sir, with a gentle handToucht all the storie of this madnesse,And find him too, like an experienc't gamster,
descriptionPage 127
Asham'd to have been cheated, but resolv'dWisely no more to venture at that game:Our whole designs must needs therefore nowAime, but to bring us off, and yet prepareNot to want courage in the meanest Fortune.
Albert.
'Tis all that can be said in our Conditions,In order therefore to our sad affairs,Wee'le instantly dispatch a TrumpetTo offer fair conditions, or any thingThat may not sound like mercy from another:That's an unworthy way to addeTo other's fames, in ruining our own;And yet our whole desires shall be low,Indeed they must, for the extremityOf every unresisted Fate makes poorTheir thoughts that were as rich before.
[Exeunt.
