• 2:10
  Speaker 5: What means fair Britain's mighty conqueror so suddenly to cast
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: away his staff and all impassion to forsake the tilt?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: My lord, this triumph we solemnize here is of mere
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: love to your increasing joys, only expecting chairful looks for
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: all what sudden pangs then moves your majesty to dim
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the brightness of the day with frowns.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Oh good, my lords, miss Constter, not the cause, at least, suspect,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: not my displeased brows. I amorously do bear to your intent,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: for thanks and all that you can wish, I yield.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: But that which makes me blush and shame to tell
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: is cause why I thus turn my conquering eyes to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: coward's look and beaten fantasies.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Since we are guiltless, we the less dismayed to see
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: this sudden change possess your cheer. For if itt issue
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: from your own conceits bread by suggestion of some envious thoughts,
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: your highness wisdom may suppress it straight. Yet tell us, good,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: my lord, what thought it is that thus bereaves you
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: of your late content, that in advice we may assist
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: your grace or bend our forces to revive your spirits.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Ah, Marques Lubeck, in thy power it lies to rid
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: my bosoms of these thrilled dumps. And therefore, good, my lords,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: for bare a while, that we may partly of these
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: private cares, whose strength subdues me more than all the world.
• 3:43
  Speaker 16: We go and wish thee private conference. Public effects in
• 3:47
  Speaker 16: this eccustomed peace exceed all.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But William and de Marquis.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Now Marquis must a conqueror at arms, disclose him self
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: thrall to unarmed thoughts, and threaten'd of a shadow yield
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to lust. No sooner had my sparkling eyes beheld the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: flames of beauty blazing on this piece, But suddenly a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: sense of miracle imagin'd on thy lonely mistress face made
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: me abandoned bodily regard and cast all pleasures on my
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: wounded soul, Then gentle Marquise, tell me what she is.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That thus thou honorest on thy warlike shield. And if
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: thy love an interest be such as justly may give
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: place to mine, that if it be, my soul with
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: honor's wings, may fly into the bosoms of my dear
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if not close them and stupid to my grave.
• 4:43
  Speaker 17: If this be all renowned, conqueror, advance your drooping spirits
• 4:49
  Speaker 17: and revive the wonted courage of your conquering mind. For
• 4:54
  Speaker 17: this fair picture painted on my shield as the true
• 4:57
  Speaker 17: counterfeit of lovely Blanche, princess and daughter to the King
• 5:01
  Speaker 17: of Danes, whose beauty and excess of ornaments deserves another
• 5:05
  Speaker 17: manner of defense pomp, and I person to attend her state,
• 5:09
  Speaker 17: then Marquis Lubeck anyway presents. Therefore her virtues are resign'd
• 5:15
  Speaker 17: to thee already shrin'd in thy religious breast, to be
• 5:19
  Speaker 17: advanced and honored to the full. Nor bear I this
• 5:23
  Speaker 17: an argument of love, but to renown fair Blanche, my
• 5:28
  Speaker 17: sovereign's child, in every place where I by arms may
• 5:32
  Speaker 17: do it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Oh my case, thy words bring heaven unto my soul,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And had I heaven a gived for thy reward. Thou
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: shouldst be throned in no unworthy place. But let my
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: uttermost wealth suffice thy worth, which here I vow, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to aspire the bliss that hangs on quick achievement of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: my love thyself. That I will travel in disguise to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: bring this lady to our britton court.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Let William, but bethink what may avail? Let me die.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: If I deny my aid.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Then thus the duc de Rot and there de march,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: will I leave substitutes to rule my realms, while mighty
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: love forbids my being here, And in the name of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Sir Robert of Windsor, will go with thee unto the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Danish court. Keep William's secrets, Marquise. If thou love him
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: bright blutch, I come, sweet fortune, favor me, and I
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: will laud thy name.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Eternally exceuned scene to Manchester the interior of a mill,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and that the miller and m his.
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: Daughter come daughter. We must learn to shake off pomp,
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: to leave the state that erst beseemd a knight and
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: gentlemen of no mean descent to undertake this homely miller's trade.
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: Thus must we mask to save our wretched lives threatened
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: by conquest of this hapless isle, whose sad invasions by
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: the conqueror have made a number such as we subject
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: their gentle necks unto their stubborn yokes of drudging labor
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: and base peasantry. Sir Thomas Goddard, now old Goddard is
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: god Ar, the miller of fair Manchester. Why should I
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: not content me with this state as good Sir Edmund
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: Trafford did the flails, and thou Sweetham must stoop to
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: high estate to join with mine, that thus we may
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: protect our harmless lives, which led in greater port would
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: be an envious object to our foes that seek to
• 7:45
  Speaker 10: root all Briton gentry from bearing countenance against their tyranny.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: Good Father, let my full resolved thoughts, with settled patience
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: to support this chance be some poor comfort to your
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: age soul, For therein rest the height of my estate,
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: that you are pleased with this dejection, and that all
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: toils my hands may undertake may serve to work your
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: worthiness content.
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: Thanks, my dear daughter, these thy pleasant words transfer my
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: soul into a second heaven, and in thy settled mind
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: my joys consist. My state reviewed and I in former plight,
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: although our would pomp be thus abased and thrall to
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: drudging stay lease of the world. Let us retain those
• 8:34
  Speaker 10: honorable minds that lately governed our superior state, wherein true
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: gentries the only means that makes us differ from base
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: millers born. Though we expect no knightly delicates nor Thurston's
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: soul for former sovereigntry. Yet may our minds as highly
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: scorn to stoop to base desires of vulgar worldliness, as
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: if we were in our present way and lovely daughter,
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: since thy youthful ears must needs admit as young affections,
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: and that sweet love unpar shall perceive her dainty subjects
• 9:09
  Speaker 10: through every part in chief, receive these lessons from my lips,
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: the true discoverers of a virgin do now request it?
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: Now that I know thy minds something inclined favor Manvill's
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: suit a gentleman thy lover in protest, and that thou
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: mayst not be by love deceived, but try his meaning
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: fit for thy desert in pursuit of all amorous desires.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: Regard thine honor. Let not vehement sighs nor earnest vows,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: importing fervent love, render thee subject to the wrath of lust,
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: For that transformed to form of sweet delight will bring
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: thy body and thy soul to shame. Chaste thoughts and
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: modest conversations of proof to keep out all enchanted vows,
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: faint sighs, forced tears, and pitiful aspects? Are they that
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: make deformed ladies fair, poor, rich? And such enticing men
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: that seek of all but only present grace, shall, in
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: perseverance of a virgin's due, prefer the most refusers to
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: the choice of such a soul as yielded what they thought.
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: But ho, where is Trotter?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: He enters Trotter? The millssmen to them, and they within
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: called to him for their grist?
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: Where's Trotter? Why Trotter is here? If Faith, you and
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: your daughter go up and down, weeping and lamenting, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: keeping of a lamentation, as who should say the mill
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: would go with your lamenting?
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: How now, Trotter? Why complainest thou soul?
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: Why yonder is a company of young men and maids
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: keep such a star? Are for their grist? That they
• 11:02
  Speaker 11: would have it before my stones be ready to grind it?
• 11:07
  Speaker 11: But faith, I could crack wind enough backwards. You should
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: not tarry for your grist.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: I warrant you contend, deeed Trotter, I will go pacify them.
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: I wish you well when I cannot. Why look you
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: have a mill. Why what's your mill without me? Or rather, mistress,
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: what were I without you?
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: Here?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He take us m about the neck.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: Nay, Trotter, If you fall ache ding, I will give
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: you over.
• 11:42
  Speaker 11: I tried you, dame to amend you. You are too
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: fine to be a miller's daughter. For if you should
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: but stoop to take up the tall dish, you would
• 11:53
  Speaker 11: have the cramps and your finger at least ten weeks.
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: After Ah well, said Trotter. Tear you to play the
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: good housewife, and thou shalt help her to thy wife
• 12:05
  Speaker 10: if thou canst get her good will.
• 12:08
  Speaker 11: Ah words are in. I see matrimony. Come loaded with
• 12:13
  Speaker 11: kisses to salute me. Now let me alone to pick
• 12:18
  Speaker 11: the mill, to fill the hopper, to take the toll,
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: to mend the sails, yea, and to make the mill
• 12:26
  Speaker 11: to go with the very force of my love.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Here they must call for de grist within.
• 12:33
  Speaker 11: I come, I come, ye faith, Now you shall have
• 12:37

  Speaker 3: But say, sir Knight, what may I call your name?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Robert Windsor?
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And like your majesty, I tell thee Robert, I so
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: admire the man that I count it heinous guilt on
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: him that honors not Duke William with his heart blanch

  Speaker 3: bit this stranger. Welcome, good, my girl, Sir?

  Speaker 2: Thanks, gentle lady, Lord Marquis.

  Speaker 5: What is she that same as Blanche, daughter to the

  Speaker 5: king the substance of the shadow that you saw?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: May this be she for whom I crossed the seas.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I'm ashamed to think I was so fond in whom
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: there's nothing that contents my mind, ill head, worse featured, uncomely, nothing, courtly,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: swart and ill favored a collier's sang when's skin. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: never saw a harder favored slut. Love her for what
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I can no wit abide.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Her, Mariana, I have this day received letters from Suavia
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: that lets me understand your ransom is collecting there with speed,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and shortly shall be hither sent to us.
• 15:17
  Speaker 14: Not that I find occasion of mislike my entertainment in
• 15:20
  Speaker 14: your Grace's court, but I long to see my native home.

  Speaker 3: And reason have you, Madame, for the same, Lord Marquis,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I commit unto your charge the entertainment of Sir Robert here.

• 15:43
  Speaker 3: and disport to spend the time.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I thank your Highness, whose bounden I.

  Speaker 1: Remain exit King of Denmark. Blanche speaketh this secretly at
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: one end of the stage.
• 15:58
  Speaker 13: Unhappy Blanche, what strange effects are these? That work is
• 16:04
  Speaker 13: in my thoughts confusedly that still, methinks affection draws me
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: on to take to like, nay more to love this night.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: A modest countenance, no heavy sullen look, not very fair,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: but richly decked with favor, a sweet face, an exceeding
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: dainty hand, a body where it framed of wax. By
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: all the cunning artists in the world, it could not
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: be better proportioned.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: How nurseir rob it in a study man. Here is
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: no time for contemplation, my lord.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: There is a certain odd conceit which, on the sudden
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: greatly troubles me.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: How like you, Blanche, I polly do perceive that little
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: boy has played the wag with you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: The more I look, the more I love to look.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Who says that Marianna is not fair? I'll gauge my
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: gauntlet gainst the envious man that dares avow there liveth her.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Compare, Sir Robert, you mistake your counterfeit. This is the
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: lady which you came to see.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Heh, my lord, she is counterfeit. Indeed, for there is
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the substance that best contents me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: That is my love, Sir Robert.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You do wrong me, the better for you, Sir, she
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: is your love. As for the wrong, I see not
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: how it grows.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: In seeking that which is another's right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: As who should say your love was privileged that none
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: might look upon her but yourself.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: These jars becomes not our familiarity. Nor will I stand
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: on terms to move your patience.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Why, my lord, am I not of flesh and blood
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: as well as you? Then give me leave to love
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: as well as you.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: To love, Sir Robert. But whom not she I love?
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Nor stands it with the honor of my state to
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: brook co rivals with me and my love.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So sir, we are thorough for that. Lady ladies, farewell,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Lord Marquise. Will you go? I will find time to
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: speak with her.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I trow with all my heart. Come, ladies, will.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: You walk exit scene for the English court and the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Manville alone disguised.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Ah m, the subject of my restless thoughts the anvil,
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: whereupon thy heart doth be framing thy state to thy desert,
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: full ill this life becomes thy heavenly looks, wherein sweet
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: love and virtue sits enthroned bad world were riches as
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: esteemed above them, both in whose base eyes naught else
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: is boutiful. A Miller's daughter says, the multitude should not
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: be loved of by a gentleman, but let them breathe
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: their souls into the airs. Yet will I still affect
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: thee as myself? So thou be constant in thy plighted vows.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: But here comes one. I will listen to his talks.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Menville stays hiding himself and to Veallingford at another door, disguised.
• 19:34
  Speaker 16: Go William, conqueror, and seek thy love. Seek thou a
• 19:39
  Speaker 16: minion in a foreign land, whilst I draw back and
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: court my love at home. The Miller's daughter of fair
• 19:47
  Speaker 16: Manchester had bound my feet to dis delightsome soil, and
• 19:52
  Speaker 16: from her eyes to dark such golden beams that holds
• 19:56
  Speaker 16: my heart. In her subjection, he ruined on my beloved choice.
• 20:02
  Speaker 16: God grant he come not to prevent my hope. But
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: here's another him I listen to.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And amount yi disguised at another door.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Nature unjust in utterance of thy art to grace a
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: peasant with Prince's fame? Peasant? Am I so to misturn
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: my love? Although Miller's daughter by her birth. Yet may
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: her beauty and her virtues will suffice to hide the
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: blemish of her birth in hell, where neither envious eyes
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: nor thought can pierce, but endless darkness ever smother it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Go William, conqueror, and seek thy love, whilst I draw
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: back in court mine own the while decking her body
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: with such costly robes as may become her beauty worthiness,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: that so thy labors may be laughed to scorn, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: she thou seekest in foreign regions, be darkened and eclipsed
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: when she arrives by one that I have chosen near
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: her home?
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: What comes he too to intercept my love? And hie
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: thee manful to forestall such foes exit Manville?
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: What now, Lord Valingford, you behind the King has chosen
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: you to go with him, So choose he you?
• 21:18
  Speaker 16: Therefore, I marvel much that both of us should linger
• 21:22
  Speaker 16: in this sort? What may the King imagine of our stay?
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: The King may justly think we are to blame, But
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: I imagined I might well be spared, and that no
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: other man had borne my mind.
• 21:35
  Speaker 16: The like did I in friendship? Than resolve what is
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: the cause of your unlooked for stay?
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: Lord Wallingford? I tell thee as a friend. Love is
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: the cause why I have stayed.

  Speaker 16: My Lord?
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: I hopeful?
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Well you know that love respects no difference of state.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: So beauty served to stir affection.
• 22:03
  Speaker 16: But this it is that makes me wonder most that
• 22:07
  Speaker 16: you and I should be of one conceit in such
• 22:10
  Speaker 16: a strange, unlikely passion.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: But is that true? My lord?
• 22:15
  Speaker 16: I hope you do, But jest I would I did?
• 22:19
  Speaker 16: Then were my grief the less nay.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: Never grieve for if the cause be such to join
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: our thoughts in such a sympathy, all envy set aside.

  Speaker 11: Let me enjoy my love, my dear, and thou possess

• 26:23
  Speaker 7: I am greatly beholding to you a mistress. Some time
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: I might have sent my love. But time and fortune
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: hath bereaved me of that, And I an abject in
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: those gracious eyes that, with remorse first saw into my grief,
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: may sit and sigh the sorrows of my heart.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: Indeed, my Manville hath some cast it out when such
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: a Swain is rival in his love.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Ah M, were he the man that causes this mistrust,
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: I should esteem of thee as at the first.

  Speaker 7: joys what lately I possessed.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: If touching love, my Manville charged with us unkindly must
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: I take it at his hands? For that my conscience
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: clears me of a fence.
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: Ah.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: Impudent and shameless is thy ill, that, with thy cunning
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: and defraudful tongue seeks to delude the honest meaning mind
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: was never heard in Manchester before. A truer love that
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: hath been betwixt us Twain. And for my part, how
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: I have hazarded displeasure of my father and my friends
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: thyself can witness. Yet, notwithstanding this, two gentlemen attending on
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: Duke William Montney and Valingford as I heard them named.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: Oftentimes resort to see and to be seen, walking the
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: streets fast by thy father's door, whose glancing eyes up
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: to the windows cast gives testes of their master's amorous heart.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: This m is noted and too much talked on. Some
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: see it without mistrust of ill. Others there are that
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: score grinned. Dere it and say, there goes the miller's
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: daughter's wooers. Ah Me, whom chiefly and most of all,
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: it doth concern to spend my time in grief and
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: vex my soul, to think my love should be rewarded
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: thus and for thy sake, abhore all womankind.
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: May not a maid look upon a man without suspicious
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: judgment of the world.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: If sight do move a fence, it is the better
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: not to see. But thou didst more unconsciant as thou art,
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: for with them thou hadst talk and conference.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: May not a maid talk with a man without mistrust, not.
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: With such men suspected Amorus.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: I grieve to see my man feels jealousy.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: Ah Am, faithful love is full of jealousy. So did
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: I love THEE true and faithfully, for which I am
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: rewarded most unthankfully.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Exit in a rage, and so away what in displeasure
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: gone and loved me such a bitter sweet to gnaw
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: upon ah Manville, little whattest thou, how near this parting
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: goeth to my heart? Uncourteous love, whose followers reaps reward
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: of hate, disdain, reproach, and infamy, the fruit of frantic bedlam, jealousy.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Here and amount me to m.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: But here comes one of these suspicious men. Witness my God,
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: without desert of me, For only Manville honor I in heart.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: Nor shall unkindness cause me from him to start for.
• 29:36

  Speaker 11: Nay?

  Speaker 8: Stay fair Anne, I am going homewards, sir.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Yet stay, sweet love, to whom I must disclose the
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: hidden secrets of a lover's thoughts, no doubting, but to

  Speaker 6: find such kind remorse as naturally you are inclined to the.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Gentleman your friend, sir, I have not seen him this
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: four days at the least.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: What's that to me? I speak, not sweet in person
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: of my friend, but of myself, whom, if that love
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: deserves to have regard being honorable love, not base effects
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: of luce laschievious love, whom youthful wantons play in dally with,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: but that unites in honorable bands of holy rites. And
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: it's the sacred, not that God's What mean you, sir.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: To keep me here so long? I cannot understand you
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: by your signs. You keep a prattling with your lips,
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: but never a word you speak that I can hear?
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: What is she deaf? A great impediment? Yet remedies there
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: are for such defects, Sweet em it is no little
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: grief to me to see where nature, in her pride
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: of art, hath wrought perfections, rich and admirable. Speak you
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: to me, sir, to thee my only joy.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: I cannot hear you, Oh.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Plague of fortune, Oh hell without compare what booted us

  Speaker 6: to gaze and not enjoy? Fare you well, sir, exit

  Speaker 6: she would regard my suit. I am acquainted with the
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: King's physicians, amongst the which there's one mine, honest friend,
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Senor Alberto, a very learned man. His judgment, will I
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: have to help this ill ah M, fair em. If
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: art can make THEE whole, I'll buy that sense for thee,
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: although it cost me dear, but Mountney stay, this may
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: be but deceit, a matter feigned only to delude, and
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: not unlike perhaps by Valingford. He loves Farem as well
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: as I as well as I. Ah no, not half
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: so well. But case yet, may he be thine enemy
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: and give her counsel to dissemble. Thus, I'll try the event,
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: and if it fall out so friendship, farewell, love makes

  Speaker 5: Grow mercy, madam, but it is not great only a
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: thrust pricked with the rapier's point.
• 32:44
  Speaker 14: How grew the quarrel, my lord, A.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Sweet lady, for thy sake, there was this last night
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: two masks in one company, myself the foremost. The other
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: strangers were amongst the witch. When the music began to
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: sound the measures, each masker made choice of his lady,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: and one more forward than the rest, stepped towards thee,
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: which I, perceiving, thrust him aside, and took thee myself.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: But this was taken in so ill part that at
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: my coming out of the court gate, with justling together,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: it was my chance to be thrust into the arm
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: the doer thereof, because he was the original cause of
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: the disorder of that inconvenient time, was presently committed. And
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: is this morning sent for to answer the matter. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: I think here he comes.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Here enters Sir Robert of Windsor with a Jailah.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: What Sir Robert of Windsor, How now ifaith my lord
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: a prisoner?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: But what ails your arm.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Hurt the last night by mischance?
• 33:52
  Speaker 16: What not?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: In the mask at the court gate?
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, trust me there?
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Why then, my lord, I thank you for my night's lodging.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: And I you for my hurt. If it were so,
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: keep up away and discharge you of your prisoner.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Exit the keeper.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Lord Marquis, you offered me disgrace to shoulder me.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Sir, I knew you not. Therefore you must pardon me,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: and the rather it might be alleged to me of
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: mere simplicity to see another dance with my mistress disguised
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: and I myself in presence. But see, it was ourhaps
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: to damnify each other unwillingly. Let us be content with
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: our halms. It lay the fault where it was, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: so become friends.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: If faith, I'm content with my night's lodging, if you
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: be content with your hurt.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Not content that I have it, but content to forget
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: how I came by it.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: My Lord, here comes lady Blanche.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Let's away, Enta Blanche.

  Speaker 5: Oh, with good will, lady, you will stay.

  Speaker 1: Exit lubec and Sir Robert.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: Madam Marianna, as I am grieved with thy presence, So
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: I am not offended for thy absence, And were it
• 35:17
  Speaker 13: not a breach to modesty, thou shouldest know before I
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: left thee.
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: How nearest this humor to madness. If you hold on
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: as you begun, you are in a pretty way to scolding.
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: To scolding housewife Madam.
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: Here comes one, he.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Enters one with a letter.

• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Blanche snatches the letter from him at exit, Messenger, go two.
• 35:59
  Speaker 13: Fool, fellow, And therefore, to ease the anger I sustain,
• 36:05
  Speaker 13: I'll be so bold to open it?
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: What's here?
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: Sir Robert greets you well, you mistress, his love, his life,
• 36:17
  Speaker 13: Oh amorous man. How he entertains his new mistress and
• 36:23
  Speaker 13: bestows on Lubeck his old friend a horn nightcap to
• 36:29
  Speaker 13: keep his wit.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: Madam, though you have discourteously read my letter, yet I
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: pray you give it to me.
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: Then take it there and there and there.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: She chears it at exit, Blanche.
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: How far doth this differ from modesty? Yet? Will I
• 36:49
  Speaker 14: gather up the pieces, which happily may show to me
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: the intent thereof, though not the meaning.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: She gathers up to pieces and joins them.

• 37:13
  Speaker 14: of windsor were he the monarch of the world, he
• 37:16
  Speaker 14: should not dispossess Lubick of his love. Therefore I will
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: to the court, and there if I can close to
• 37:24
  Speaker 14: be friends with Lady Blanche, and thereby keep Lubick my
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: love for myself and further the Lady Blanche in her suit,
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: as much as I may exit.
• 37:37

• 37:51
  Speaker 8: Manville's senses that he misdoubts his m that loves his soul.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: He doth suspect carrivals and his love, which, how untrue
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: it is, be judged my God. But now no more
• 38:03

  Speaker 8: have respect to such vain fantasies as idle love presents
• 39:41

  Speaker 8: this plague has justly fallen upon me, than to hearken

  Speaker 8: or any worldly thing that want my sight? That should

  Speaker 8: discern thereof ah, Sir, I must leave you. The pain

• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Let me entreat your wonted kind consent and friendly furtherance
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: in a suit.
• 41:40
  Speaker 14: I have, My Lord, you know you need not to entreat,
• 41:44
  Speaker 14: but may command Marianna to her power. Be it no
• 41:48
  Speaker 14: impeachment to my honest fame.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Free of my thoughts from such base villainies may in question,
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: Lady call your name. Yet it is the matter of
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: such consequence standing upon my honorable credit, to be effected
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: with such zeal and secrecy as should I speak and fare.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: My expectation redound greatly to my prejudice, my.
• 42:12
  Speaker 14: Lord, wherein hath Marianna given you occasion that you should
• 42:16
  Speaker 14: mistrust or else be jealous of my secrecy?
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: Marianna, do not miss constir of me. I not mistrust
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: thee nor thy secrecy, nor let my love misconst to
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: my intent, nor think thereof but well and honorable. Thus
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: stands the case thou knowest from England. Heather came with
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: me Robert of Windsor, a noble man at arms, lusty
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: and valiant, and springtime of his years. No marvel. Then
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: though he prove amorous.
• 42:50
  Speaker 14: True, my Lord, he came to see fair Blanche.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: No, Marianna, that is not it. His love to Blanche
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: was then extinct when first he saw thy face. Tis
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: thee he loves yea thou art only she that is
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: mistress and commander of his thoughts.
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: Well, well, my Lord, I like you, for such drifts
• 43:18
  Speaker 14: put silly ladies often to their shifts oft. Have I
• 43:22
  Speaker 14: heard you say you loved me? Well? YEA sworn the same,
• 43:27
  Speaker 14: and I believed you too. Can this be found in
• 43:30
  Speaker 14: action of good faith? Thus to dissemble where you found true.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: Love, Marianna, I not dissemble on mine honor, nor fails
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: my faith to thee, for my friend, for Princely William,
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: by whom thou shalt possess the title and the state
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: of majesty befitting thy love and virtues of thy mind.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: For him I speak for him? Do I entreat with
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: thy favor fully? Do resigned to him the claim an
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: interest of my love? Sweet Marianna, Then deny me not
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: love William, love my friend and honor me. Who else
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: is clean dishonored by thy.
• 44:12
  Speaker 14: Means born to mishap. Myself am only she on whom
• 44:18
  Speaker 14: the sun of fortune never shined, but planet's rule by
• 44:22
  Speaker 14: retrogard aspect foretold mine ill in my nativity.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: Sweet ladies, cease that my entreaties serve to pacify the
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: passion of thy grief, which well I know proceeds of
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: ardent love.
• 44:37
  Speaker 14: But Lubick now regards not Marianna even.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: As my life. So love, I'm Marianna.
• 44:44
  Speaker 14: Why do you post me to another?
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: Then he is my friend? Then I do love the man?
• 44:51
  Speaker 14: Then will Duke William rob me of my love?
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: No? As his life? Marianna, he doth love?
• 44:59
  Speaker 14: Speak for your self? My lord? Let him alone, So.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: Do I, Madam, For he and I am one.
• 45:07
  Speaker 14: Then loving you, I do content you both In.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Loving him, you shall content us both, me for I
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: crave that favorite your hands, he for he hopes that
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: comfort at your hands.
• 45:24
  Speaker 14: Leave of my lord. Here comes the lady Blanche.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: And to Blanche to them, I'd have to break us

  Speaker 5: of our talks. So soon, Sweet Marianna, do remember me
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: exit le beec.
• 45:41
  Speaker 14: Thy Mariana cannot choose, but remember thee Marianna. Well met,
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: you are very forward in your love, Madam. Be it
• 45:53
  Speaker 14: in secret spoken to yourself. If you will but follow
• 45:56
  Speaker 14: the complot I have invented, you will not think me
• 45:59
  Speaker 14: so forward as yourself shall prove fortunate. As how madam,
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: as thus it is not unknown to you that Sir
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: Robert of Windsor, a man that you do not little esteem,
• 46:13
  Speaker 14: hath long importuned me of love. But rather then I
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: will be found false or unjust to the marquis lubic.
• 46:21
  Speaker 14: I will, as did the constant lady Penelope, undertake to
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: effect some great task.
• 46:28
  Speaker 13: What a hole this?
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: The next time that Sir Robert shall come in his
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: wonted sort to solicit me with love, I will seem
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: to agree and like of anything that the Knight shall demand,
• 46:40
  Speaker 14: so far forth as it to be no impeachment to
• 46:43
  Speaker 14: my chastity, And to conclude point some place for to
• 46:47
  Speaker 14: meet the man for my conveyance from the Denmark court,
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: which determined upon he will appoint some certain time for
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: our departure, whereof you, having intelligence, you may soon set
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: down a plot to wear the English crown. And then
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: what then, if Sir Robert prove a king and you
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: his queen?
• 47:09
  Speaker 13: How then were I assured of the one as I
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: am persuaded of the other. There were some possibility in it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 13: But here comes the man.
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: Madam, be gone, and you shall see. I will work
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: to your desire and my content.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Exit Blanche Ender William the conqueror.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Lady, this is well and happily met fortune. Hitherto hath
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: been my foe. And though I have oft sought to
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: speak with you, yet still I have been crossed with
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: sinister HAPs. I cannot, Madam, tell a loving tale, or
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: court my mistress with fabulous discourses that I am a
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: soldier sworn to follow arms. But this I bluntly let
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: you understand. I honor you with such religious zeal as
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: maybe become an honorable mind. Nor may I make my
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: love the siege of Troy, that I am a stranger
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: in this country. First, what I am? I know you
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: are resolved for that my friend hath led you that
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: to understand the Marquise l mech to whom I am
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: so bound that whilst I live I count me only his.
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: Surely you are beholding to the Marquis, for he hath
• 48:22
  Speaker 14: been an earnest spokesman in your cause.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: And yields my lady. Then, at his request to Duke
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: William with their gracious love.
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: My lord, I am a prisoner, and hard it were
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: to get me from the court.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Ha an easy matter to get you from the court.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: If case that you will thereto give consent, put.
• 48:44
  Speaker 14: Case I should, how would you use me then?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Not otherwise? But well and honorably. I have at sea
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: a ship that doth attend, which shall forthwith conduct us
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: into England, where, when we are I straight will marry thee.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: We may not stay deliberating long lest it suspicion envious
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: of our weal set in a foot to hinder our pretense.
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: But this I think we're most convenient to mask my face,
• 49:12
  Speaker 14: the better to escape unknown.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: A good device. Till then, farewell, fair love.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: But this I must entreat your grace. You would not
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: seek my lust unlawfully to wrong my chaste determinations.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: I hold that man most shameless in his sin, that
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: seeks to wrong an honest lady's name, whom he thinks
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: worthy of his marriage.
• 49:36
  Speaker 14: Bed in a hope your oath is true, I leave
• 49:40
  Speaker 14: your grace to the appointed time.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Exit Marianna, Oh, happy William, blessed in thy love, most
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: fortunate in Marianna's love.

• 50:15
  Speaker 6: me as were it not that I detest to do
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: what stands not with the honor of my name, Thy
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: deathst pay thy ransom of thy fault and Mountainey.
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: Had not my revenging wrath, enchanced with more than ordinary love,
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: been loss for to deprive THEE of thy life, Thou
• 50:35
  Speaker 16: hadst not lived to brave me as thou doest wretch
• 50:39
  Speaker 16: as thou art, wherein hath Valingford offended THEE that honorable
• 50:45
  Speaker 16: bond which late we did confirm in presence of the Gods,
• 50:49
  Speaker 16: when with the conqueror we arriv'd. Here for my part,
• 50:54
  Speaker 16: hath been kept involiably till now, too much abused by
• 50:58
  Speaker 16: thy villainy, I am enforced to cancel all those bands
• 51:03
  Speaker 16: by hating him, which I so well did.
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: Love subtle Thou art and cunning and thy fraud, that
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: giving me occasion of offense, Thou pick'st a coral to
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: excuse thy shame? Why Valingford, was it not enough for
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: THEE to be a rival TwixT me and my love?
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: But counsel her to mind no small disgrace that when
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: I come to talk with her of love, she should
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: seem death as feigning not to hear.
• 51:31
  Speaker 16: But hath she Martini used THEE as thou sayest.
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: Thou know'st too well? She hath wherein thou couldest not
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: do me great injury?
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: Then I perceive we are deluded both, for when I
• 51:45
  Speaker 16: offered many gifts of gold and jewels to entreat for love,
• 51:49
  Speaker 16: she had refused them with a quite disdain, alleging that
• 51:54
  Speaker 16: she could not see the sun the same conjectured eye
• 51:58
  Speaker 16: to be die drift that feigning so she might be
• 52:02
  Speaker 16: read of me the like.
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: Did I by THEE. But are not the natural impediments.
• 52:08
  Speaker 16: In my conjecture merely counterfeit? Therefore, let's join hands in
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: friendship once again, since that the jar grew only by conjecture.
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: With all my heart, yet let's try the truth hereof we.
• 52:22
  Speaker 16: Right good will. We will straight unto her father, and

  Speaker 7: have given me great occasion to mislike.
• 54:14
  Speaker 10: As for those gentlemen, I never saw in them any
• 54:17
  Speaker 10: evil entreaty. But should they have profered it, her chased

  Speaker 8: largely requite thee Ah.

  Speaker 3: Well, lull back, Well, it is not possible that you
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: must be consenting in this act? Is this the man
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: so highly you extored and play upon? So hape to
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: his friend, Since first he came with thee into the court,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: What entertainment and what countenance he hath received? None better
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: knows than thou in recompense, whereof he quits me well
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: to steal away fair Marianna, my prisoner, whose ransom, being
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: lately greed upon, I am deluded off by this escape. Besides,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: I know not how to answer it when she shall
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: be demanded home to sway theer.
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: My grecious lord, conjecture, not I pray worser of Lubeck
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: than he dost deserve. Your Highness knows Mariana was my love,
• 59:51
  Speaker 5: so paragon a mistress of my thoughts? Is it likely
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: I should know of her departure? Wherein there is no
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: man injured more than I.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: That carries reason, Marquis, I confess call forth my daughter.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Yet I am persuaded that she poor soul suspected not
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: her going, for as I hear, she likewise loved the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: man which he to blame did not at all regard.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: And do Rossilio and Marianna, my lord, here is the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: princess Marianna.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 10: It is your daughter as conveyed away.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: What my daughter gone? Now, Marquis, your villainy breaks forth.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: This match is of your making, gentle sir, and you
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: shall dearly know the price thereof.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: Knew I thereof, or that there was intent and Robert
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: to thus to steal your highness daughter led heavens in
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: justice present the confound me not.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: All the Protestations, thou can't you shall save thy life
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: away with him to prison and minion otherwise it cannot be.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: But you are an agent in this treachery. I will
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: revenge it thoroughly on you both. Away with her to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: prison is stuff, indeed my daughters stolen away. It booteth
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: not thus to disturb myself, but presently to send to

  Speaker 3: English William, to send me that proud Knight of Windsor
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: hither here in my court, to suffer for his shame,

• 1:01:55

• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: of the Earl of March, and to William taken with soldiers.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Could any cross, could any plague be worse? Could heaven
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: or hell? Did both conspire in one to afflict my soul?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Invent a greater scourge than presently I am tormented with,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Oh Maria, cause of my lament, joy of my heart
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: and comfort of my life. For though I breathe my
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: sorrows in the air and tire myself, or silently I
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: sigh my sorrows, afflict my soul with equal passion.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: Go to Sarah, put up. It is to small purpose.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Hence Fillan's hands. There you lay your hands upon your suffern.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Well, sir, we will deal for that. But here comes
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: one will remedy all this. Enter de March, my lord,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: watching this night in the camp. We took this man,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: and know not what he is. And in his company
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: was a gallant dame, a woman fair in outward show
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: she seemed, but that her face was masked, we could
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: not see the grace and favor of her countenance.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: Tell me, good fellow, of whence and what thou art?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: Why do you not answer?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: My lord?
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: He takes scorn to answer.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 9: And takest thou scorn to answer my demand. Thy proud
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: behavior very well deserves this misdemeanor at the worst to
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 9: be construed. Why dost thou neither know nor hast thou
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: heard that, in the absence of the Saxon Duke, Demarch
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: is his especial substitute to punish those that shall offend
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: the laws.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: In knowing this, I know thou art a traitor, a rebel,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: and a mutinous conspirator. Why Demarch, knowest thou who I am?
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: Pardon, my dread Lord, the error of my sense and
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: misdemeanor to your princely excellency.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Why Demarch, what is the cause my subjects are in arms?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 16: Free?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: Are my thoughts, my dread and gracious Lord, from treason
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: to your state and commonwealth? Only revengement of a private
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: grudge by Lord de Roud lately proffered me that stands
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 9: not with the honor of my name is cause I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: have assembled for my guard some men in arms that
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: may withstand his force, whose settled malice aimeth at my life?
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Where is Lord de rat in.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: Arms, My gracious lord, not past two miles from hence,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: as credibly I am ascertained.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Well, come let us go. I fear I shall find
• 1:05:07

  Speaker 12: Indeed, Sir, and we knew very well if you could
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 12: injurad your father to come hither. But if you think
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 12: it'd be too far, I care not much to take
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 12: horse and ride to Manchester. I am sure my daughter
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 12: is content with either, How sayest thou elinor art thou not.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 15: As you shall think best? I must be contented.

• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: But soft, what, gentlemen, is this God's speed?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 16: Sir? Might a man grave a word or two with
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 16: you God?
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 12: For mid else? Sir? I pray you speak your pleasure.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 16: The gentleman that parted from you? Was he not of Manchester?
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 16: His father living there? Of good account?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 12: Mary, is he? Sir? Why do you ask? Belike you
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 12: have had some acquaintance with him?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 16: I have been acquainted in times past, but through his
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 16: double dealing I am growing weary of his company. For
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 16: be it spoken to you. He hath been acquainted with
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 16: a poor miller's daughter, and diverse times hath promised her marriage.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 16: But what with his delays and flowers, he hath brought
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 16: her into such a taking that I fear me it
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 16: will cost her her life.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 12: To be plain with you, sir, His mother and I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: have been of old acquaintance. Emotion was made between my
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: daughter and his son, which is now thoroughly agreed upon,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 12: save only the place appointed for the marriage, whether it
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 12: shall be kept here or at Manchester, and for no
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 12: other occasion is he now ridden?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 15: What has he done to you that you should speak
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 15: so ill of the man?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 16: Oh, gentle woman, I cry you, mercy, he is your husband,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 16: that shall be If.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 15: I know this to be true, he should not be
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 15: my husband. Were he near so good and never forgot father,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 15: I would decide to take the pains to bear this
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 15: gentleman company to Manchester to know whether this be true
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 15: or no.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 12: Don't trust me, gentlemen. He deals with me very hardly,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 12: knowing how well I meant to him. But I care
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 12: not much to write to Manchester to know whether his
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 12: fathers will be he should deal with me so badly.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 12: Will I please you, sir, to go in? He will
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 12: presently take horse and away.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 16: If it please you to go in, I'll follow you presently.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Exceed Elma and her father.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 16: Now shall I be revenged on Manville? And by these
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 16: means get em to my wife? And therefore I will
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 16: straight to her father's and inform them both of all
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 16: that has happened.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Exit scene to the English court and the William, the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Ambassador of Denmark, the march and other attendants.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 6: What news with the Denmark, Ambassador Mary, does the King
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 6: of Denmark and my sovereign doth send to know of THEE.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: What is the cause that enniously against the law of arms,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: thou hast stolen away his only daughter, Blanche, the only
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 6: stay and comfort of his life. Therefore by me he
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 6: will let THEE to send his daughter Blanche, or else
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: forthwith he will levy such an host as soon shall
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: fetch her in spite of THEE.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: Ambassador, this answer I returned thy King, he willed me
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: to send his daughter Blanche, saying I conveyed her from
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: the Danish court, that never yet did once as think thereof.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: As for his menacing and daunting threats, I need regard
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: him nor his Danish power. For if he come to
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: fetch her forth my round, I will provide him such
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: a banquet here that he shall have small cause to
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: give me thanks.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: Is this your answer?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 11: Then it is?
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: And so begone he girl.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: But to your cost, exit, Ambassador Demuch.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Her subjects erst levied and civil broils. Muster forthwith, for
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: to defend the realm and hope whereof that we shall
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: find you true. We freely pardon this thy late offense.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: Most humble thanks, I render to your grace.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Excellent scene three Manchester, the Mill and the Miller, and Bellingford.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 10: Alas, gentlemen, why should you trouble yourself so much considering
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 10: the imperfections of my daughter, which is able to withdraw
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 10: the love of any man from her, as already it
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: hath done in her first choice. Master Manville hath forsaken her,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: and at Chester shall be married to a man's daughter
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 10: of no little wealth. But if my daughter knew so much,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: it would go very near her heart.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 16: I fear me, father, me, such is the entire affection
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 16: to your daughter, as no misfortune horsoever can alter my
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 16: fellow Mauntney thou seest gave quickly over. But I, by
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 16: reason of my good meaning, am not so soon to
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 16: be changed, although I am borne off with scorns and denial,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 16: and to.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: M to them.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: Trust me, Sir, I know not what to say. My
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 10: daughter is not to be compelled by me, But here
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 10: she comes herself. Speak to her and spare not, for
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 10: I never was troubled with love matters so much before.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: M Ashid, good Lord, shall I never be rid of
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 8: this importunate man? Now must I dissemble blindness again once more?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 8: For thy sake Manville. Thus I am enforced because I
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 8: shall complete my full resolved mind to thee father.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 10: Where are you here, sweet am? Answer this gentleman that
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 10: would so fain enjoy thy love?
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 8: Where are you, sir? Will you never leave this idle
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 8: in vain pursuit of love? Is not England stored enough
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 8: to content you? But you must still trouble the poor
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 8: contemptible maid of Manchester.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 16: None can content me but the fair maid of Manchester.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 8: I perceived love is vainly described that being blind himself
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 8: would have you likewise troubled with the blind wife, having
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 8: the benefit of your eyes. But neither follow him so
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: much in folly. But love one in whom you may
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 8: better delight.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 16: Father Miller, thy daughter shall have honor by granting me
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 16: her love. I am a gentleman of King William's court,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 16: and no mean man in King William's favor.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 8: If you be a lord, sir, as you say, you
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: offer both yourself and me great wrong, yours as apparent
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: in limiting your love so unorderly, for which you rashly
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 8: endure reproachment, mine as open and evident. When being shut
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 8: from the vanities of this world, you would have me
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 8: as an open gazing stock to all the world for lost.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 8: Not love leads you in this error, But from the
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 8: one I will keep me as well as I can,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: and yield the other to none but to my father,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 8: as I am bound by duty.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 16: Why fare m Menville has forsaken thee and must a
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 16: jester be married? Which if I speak otherwise than true?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 16: Let thy father speak what gredibly he hath heard?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 8: But can it be Manville will deal so unkindly to
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 8: reward my justice with such monstrous ungentleness? Have I dissembled
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: for thy sake? And dost thou now thus requite it? Indeed,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 8: these many days I have not seen him, which have
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 8: made me marvel at his long absence. But Father, are
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: you assured of the words he spake were concerning Manville?
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 10: In sooth? Daughter? Now it is forth I must needs
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: confirm it. Master, Manville hath forsaken thee, and that Chester
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 10: must be married to a man's daughter of no little wealth.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 10: His own father procures it, And thereon I dare credit it,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 10: and do thou believe it? For trust me, daughter? It
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 10: is so?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 8: Then, good father, pardon the injury that I have done
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 8: to you, only causing your grief by over fond affecting
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 8: a man so truthless, and you likewise, Sir, I pray
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 8: hold me excused, as I hope this cause will allow
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 8: sufficiently for me my love to Manville. Thinking he would
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: requite it, hath made me double with my father and you,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 8: and many more besides which I will no longer hide
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 8: from you. That enticing speeches should not beguile me. I
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 8: have maid myself deaf to any but him, and lest
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 8: any man's person should please me more than his, I
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 8: have dissembled the want of my sight. Both with shadows
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 8: of my irrevocable affections. I have not spared to confirm
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 8: before him, my father, and all other amorous solicitors, wherewith
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 8: not made acquainted, I perceived my true intent have a
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 8: roten mine own sorrow, and seeking by love to be regarded,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 8: am cut off with contempt and despised.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 10: Tell me, sweet m hast thou but feigned all this
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 10: while for his love that hast so discourteously forsaken thee
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 10: credit me.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 8: Father, I have told you the truth. Wherewith I desire
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: you and Lord Valingford not to be displeased for aught.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 8: Else I shall say, let my present grief, hold me excused,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 8: But may I live to see that ungrateful man justly
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 8: rewarded for his treachery. Poor m would think herself not
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: a little happy favor my departing at this instant, for
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 8: my troubled thought desires to meditate alone in silence.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 16: Exit M will not m she one cheerful look on Valingford.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 10: Alas Sir blame her not. You see she hath good
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 10: cause being so handled by this gentleman. And so I'll
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 10: leave you and go comfort my poor wench as well
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 10: as I may.

  Speaker 3: Go captain away regard the charge I gave. See all
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: our men are marshaled for the fights. Dispose the wards
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: as lately was devised, and let the prisoners under several guards,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: be kept apart until you hear from us. Let this
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: suffice you know my resolution. If William, Duke of Saxons
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: be the man that, by his answers sent to us,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: he would seem not words but wounds, not parleys. What
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: alarms must be decider of this controversy, Rosilio, stay with me,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: the rest begone.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Excellent, and the William and to march with other attendants.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: All but demark go shroud you out of sight, for
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: I will go partly with the Prince myself.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 9: Should Zweno by this parley call you forth upon intent
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: injuriously to deal this offereth too much opportunity.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: No, no demarch that were a breach against the law
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: of arms. Therefore begone and leave us here alone.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Excellent.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: I see that Zueno is a master of his word. Zueno,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: William of Saxony greeteth Thee either well or ill, according
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: to thy intent. If well thou wish to him and Saxony,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: he bids THEE friendly welcome as he can. If ill
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: thou wish to him and Saxony, he must withstand thy
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: malice as he may.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: William for other name entitled, give I none to him?
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: Who were he worthy of those honors that fortune and
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: his predecessors left. I ought my right and human courtesy
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: to grace his style with Duke of Saxony. But for
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: I find a base degenerate mind, I frame my speech
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: according to the man, and not the state that he
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: unworthy holds.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: Here ends win or dost thou abase thy state to
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: break the peace by which our ancestors have heretofore been
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: honorably kepped.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: And should that peace forever have been kept, had not
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: thyself been author of the reach? Nor stands it with
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: the honor of my state or nature of a father
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: to his child, that I should so be robbed of
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: my daughter, and not, unto the utmost of my power
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: revenge so intolerable an injury?
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: Is this the color of your quarrels? When ah, I
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: well perceive the wisest man may err and think you
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: I conveyed away your daughter Blanche.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: Art, Thou so impudent to deny thou didst when that
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: the proof thereof is manifest.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: What proof is there?
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: Thine own confession is sufficient proof.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Did I confess I stole your daughter Blanche?
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: Thou didst confess? Thou hast the lady? Hence I have
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: and do? Why that was Blanche my daughter?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Nay, that was Marianna, who wrongfully Thou detainest.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: Prisoner, shameless persisting in thy ill Thou dost maintain a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: manifest untruth as she shall justify unto thy teeth. Rosilio,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: fetch her and the Marquis.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Hither exit, Rosilio, for Marianna cannot be I should be
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: so deceived.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: I heard this night among the soldiers that in their
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: watch they took a pensive lady, who, at the appointment
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 9: of Lord de Roux, as yet in keeping what she is?
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 9: I know not only thus much I overheard by chance?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 7: And what of this?
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: It may be Blanche, the King of Denmark's daughter.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: It may be so, but on my life it is
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: not yet the march. Go and fetch her.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Straight, exit the march, and do Rossilia with de Marquis.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 8: Please, at your highness, here is the Marcus and Marianna.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: See here, Duke William, your competitors that were consenting to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: my daughter's escape. Let them resolve you the truth herein
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: and here I vow and solemnly protest that in thy
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: presence they shall lose their heads unless I hear whereas
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: my daughter is.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: Oh Marquis le Beck. How it grieveth me that for
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: my sake thou shouldst endure these bonds. Be judge my
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: soul that feels the martyrdom.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: Duke William, you know it is for your cause. Please
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 5: thus the King to misconceive of me and for his pleasure,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: doth me injury.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: Entered in March with the lady Blanche.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 9: May it please your highness? Here is the lady whom
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 9: you sent me for.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Await de mach What tellest me thou of ladies? I
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: so detest the dealing of their sex, as that I
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: count a lover's state to be the base and vilest
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: slavery in the world.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 9: What humors are these? Here's a strange alteration.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: See, Duke William, is this a Blanche?
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Or no?
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: You know her? If you see her, I'm sure Zuena.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: I was deceived, ye utterly deceived. Yet this is she?
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: This same is Lady Blanche. And for mine error here
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: I am content to do Whateversuena shall set down, Oh
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: cruel Mary Yana, just just to use them. Man who
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: loved and honored THEE with his heart.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 14: When I first came into your Highness's court and William
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 14: often importing me of love, I did devise to ease
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 14: the grief of your daughter. Did sustain she should meet
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 14: Sir William masked as I it were, this put in
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 14: proof did take so good effect. As yet it seems
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 14: his grace is not resolved. But it was I which
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 14: he conveyed away.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: May this be true? It cannot be but true? Was
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: it Lady Blanche which I conveyed away? Unconstant Marianna? Thus
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: to deal with him who meant to THEE not but faith.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 13: Pardon, dear father, my follies that are past, wherein I
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 13: have neglected my duty which I, in reverence ought to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 13: show your grace for led by love, I have thus
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 13: gone astray, and now repent the errors I was in.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: Stand up, dear daughter, Though thy fault deserves for to
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: be punished in the extremest sort. Yet love that covers
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: multitude of sins makes love in parents wing cat children's faults.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: Suffice f Blanche, thy father loves thee, so thy follies
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: past he knows, but will not know. And here, Duke William,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: take my daughter to thy wife for well, I am
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: assured she loves thee well.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: A proper conjunction, as who should say lately come out
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: of the fire, I would go thrust myself into the flames.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: Let mistress Nice go saint at where she list, and
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: quite acquainted with dissembling face, I hold in scorn the
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: fooleries that they use. I, being free, will never subject
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: myself to any such as she is underneath the sun.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: Refuseth thou to take my daughter to thy wife, I
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: tell thee Juke this rash denial may bring more mischief
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: on me than thou counst avoid conceit.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Hath wrought such general dislike through the false dealing of Marianna,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: that utterly I do abhor their sex. They are all disloyal, unconstant,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: all unjust. Who tries as I have tried, and finds
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: as I have found, will say there's no such creatures
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: on the ground.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 13: On constant Knight. Though some deserve no trust, there's others faithful, loving, loyal,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 13: and just.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Enter to them. Valingford with Emine the Miller, and Mountney,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: and Manville and Elma.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, Lord Vallingford, what makes these women?
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 16: Here be two women, May it please your grace, that
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 16: are contracted to one man and are in strife? Why
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 16: there shall have him to their husband?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Stand forth, women, and say to whether of you did
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: he first give his faith to me? Forsooth to me,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: my gracious lord, speak Manville, to whether didst thou give
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: thy faith?
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 7: To say the truth? This maid head first? By love?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 15: Yea Manuel?
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 8: But there is no witness by thy conscience. Manville is
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 8: a hundred witnesses.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 15: She has stolen a conscience to serve her own turn.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 15: But you are deceived. Faith He will none.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: Of you, indeed, dread Lord, so dear I held her love?
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 7: Is it the same? I put my whole delight? But
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 7: some impediments, which at that instant happened, made be for
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 7: sake her quite for which I had her father's frank consent.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: What were the impediments?
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 7: Why she could neither hear nor see?
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Now she doth both, maiden, how were you cured?
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 8: Pardon, my Lord? I tell your grace the truth. Be
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 8: it not imputed to me as discredit I loved this
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 8: Manville so much that still my thought, when he was absent,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: did present to me the form and feature of that countenance,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 8: which I did shrine an idol in mine heart. And
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 8: never could I see a man methought that equaled Manville
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 8: in my partial eye. Nor was there any love between
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 8: us lost, but that I held the same in high
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 8: regard until repair of some unto our house, of whom
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 8: my Manville grew thus jealous, as if he took exception,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 8: I vouchsafed to hear them speak or saw them when
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 8: they came on, which I straight took order with myself
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 8: to void the scruple of his conscience by counterfeinting that
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 8: I never saw nor heard any ways, to rid my
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 8: hands of them. All this I did to keep my
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 8: Manville's love, which he unkindly seeks.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: For to reward, and did my m to keep her
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 7: faith with thee dissemble that she neither heard nor saw.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: Pardon me, sweet m for I am only.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 8: Thine lay off thy hands disloyal as thy art, Nor
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 8: shalt thou have possession of my love, that canst so
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 8: finally shift their matters off put case I had been
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 8: blind and could not see as oftentimes such visitation falls
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 8: that pleaseth God, which all things doth dispose, shouldst thou
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 8: forsake me? In regard of that? I tell thee Manville,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 8: hast thou been blind or deaf, or damb or else?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 8: What impediments might befall to man? M would have loved
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 8: and kept and honored thee? Yea begged if wealth had
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 8: failed for thy relief.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 7: Forgive me, sweet Hemp.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 8: I do forgive thee with my heart, and will forget
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 8: thee too. If case I can but never speak to
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 8: me nor seem to know me.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 7: Then farewell, frost well, fair, oh wench it will now elna,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: I am mine, own, my girl.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 15: Mine ma'ammel, Thou never shall be mine. I shall detest
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 15: thy villainy, that whilst I live, I will abhor thy company.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: Is it come to this? Of late? I ad choice
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: of twain on either side to have me to her husband,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 7: and I am utterly rejected of them both.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 16: My Lord, these gentleman, when time was stood something in
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 16: our light. And now I think it not amiss to
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 16: laugh at him that some time scorned at.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 6: Us content my Lord invent the form.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: Then thus I see that women are not general evils
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: Blanche is fair. Let me think I see in her
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: a modest countenance. Heavenly blush sueno receive a reconciled foe,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: not as thy friend, but as thy son in law.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: If so that thou be thus content.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: I joy to see your grace so tractable. Here take
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: my daughter Blanche, and after my decease the Denmark crown.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: Now, sir, how stands the case with you?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 7: I partly am persuaded, as your grace is my lord,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 7: here's best at ease that bedeth least.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 16: Sir, may a man be so bold as to grave
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 16: a warloo?
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 7: De heey two or three? What are they?
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 16: I say, this maid will have thee to our husband?
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 6: And I say this, and thereof will I lay one
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: hundred pound?
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 16: And I say this, wheron I lay as much?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 7: And I say neither. What say you to that?
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 6: If that be true? Then we are both deceived.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 7: Why it is true? And you are both deceived?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: In mine eyes? This is the properest Wench might advise
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 5: THEE take her unto thy wife.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: It seems to me she hath refused him.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 5: Why there's the spite.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: If one refuse him, yet may he have the other?
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 5: He will ask but her good will and all her friends.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: Might I advise thee let them both alone?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 7: YEA, that's the course. And thereon will I stand such
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 7: idle love headsforth I will detest.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 16: The fox, will eat no grapes, and why.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 6: I know full well because they hang too high.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: And may it be a miller's daughter by her birth
