| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Enter DIONYZA and LEONINE</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>Thy oath remember; thou hast sworn to do't:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>'Tis but a blow, which never shall be known.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>Thou canst not do a thing in the world so soon,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>To yield thee so much profit. Let not conscience,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>Which is but cold, inflaming love i' thy bosom,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>Inflame too nicely; nor let pity, which</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>Even women have cast off, melt thee, but be</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>A soldier to thy purpose.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=9>I will do't; but yet she is a goodly creature.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>The fitter, then, the gods should have her. Here</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>she comes weeping for her only mistress' death.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>Thou art resolved?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=13>I am resolved.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter MARINA, with a basket of flowers</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=14>No, I will rob Tellus of her weed,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=15>To strew thy green with flowers: the yellows, blues,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>The purple violets, and marigolds,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>Shall as a carpet hang upon thy grave,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>While summer-days do last. Ay me! poor maid,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>Born in a tempest, when my mother died,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=20>This world to me is like a lasting storm,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=21>Whirring me from my friends.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=22>How now, Marina! why do you keep alone?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>How chance my daughter is not with you? Do not</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=24>Consume your blood with sorrowing: you have</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>A nurse of me. Lord, how your favour's changed</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>With this unprofitable woe!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=27>Come, give me your flowers, ere the sea mar it.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=28>Walk with Leonine; the air is quick there,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=29>And it pierces and sharpens the stomach. Come,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>Leonine, take her by the arm, walk with her.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=31>No, I pray you;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>I'll not bereave you of your servant.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=33>Come, come;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=34>I love the king your father, and yourself,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=35>With more than foreign heart. We every day</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>Expect him here: when he shall come and find</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>Our paragon to all reports thus blasted,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=38>He will repent the breadth of his great voyage;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>Blame both my lord and me, that we have taken</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>No care to your best courses. Go, I pray you,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>Walk, and be cheerful once again; reserve</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=42>That excellent complexion, which did steal</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=43>The eyes of young and old. Care not for me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=44>I can go home alone.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=45>Well, I will go;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=46>But yet I have no desire to it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=47>Come, come, I know 'tis good for you.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=48>Walk half an hour, Leonine, at the least:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=49>Remember what I have said.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech11><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=50>I warrant you, madam.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech12><b>DIONYZA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=51>I'll leave you, my sweet lady, for a while:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=52>Pray, walk softly, do not heat your blood:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=53>What! I must have a care of you.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=54>My thanks, sweet madam.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit DIONYZA</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=55>Is this wind westerly that blows?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=56>South-west.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech15><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=57>When I was born, the wind was north.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech16><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=58>Was't so?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=59>My father, as nurse said, did never fear,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=60>But cried 'Good seaman!' to the sailors, galling</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=61>His kingly hands, haling ropes;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=62>And, clasping to the mast, endured a sea</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=63>That almost burst the deck.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech18><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=64>When was this?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech19><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=65>When I was born:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=66>Never was waves nor wind more violent;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=67>And from the ladder-tackle washes off</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=68>A canvas-climber. 'Ha!' says one, 'wilt out?'</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=69>And with a dropping industry they skip</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=70>From stem to stern: the boatswain whistles, and</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=71>The master calls, and trebles their confusion.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech20><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=72>Come, say your prayers.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech21><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=73>What mean you?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech22><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=74>If you require a little space for prayer,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=75>I grant it: pray; but be not tedious,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=76>For the gods are quick of ear, and I am sworn</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=77>To do my work with haste.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech23><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=78>Why will you kill me?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech24><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=79>To satisfy my lady.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech25><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=80>Why would she have me kill'd?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=81>Now, as I can remember, by my troth,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=82>I never did her hurt in all my life:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=83>I never spake bad word, nor did ill turn</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=84>To any living creature: believe me, la,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=85>I never kill'd a mouse, nor hurt a fly:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=86>I trod upon a worm against my will,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=87>But I wept for it. How have I offended,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=88>Wherein my death might yield her any profit,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=89>Or my life imply her any danger?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech26><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=90>My commission</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=91>Is not to reason of the deed, but do it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech27><b>MARINA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=92>You will not do't for all the world, I hope.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=93>You are well favour'd, and your looks foreshow</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=94>You have a gentle heart. I saw you lately,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=95>When you caught hurt in parting two that fought:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=96>Good sooth, it show'd well in you: do so now:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=97>Your lady seeks my life; come you between,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=98>And save poor me, the weaker.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech28><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=99>I am sworn,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=100>And will dispatch.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>He seizes her</i></p> | |
| <p><i>Enter Pirates</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech29><b>First Pirate</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=101>Hold, villain!</A><br> | |
| <p><i>LEONINE runs away</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech30><b>Second Pirate</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=102>A prize! a prize!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech31><b>Third Pirate</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=103>Half-part, mates, half-part.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=104>Come, let's have her aboard suddenly.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exeunt Pirates with MARINA</i></p> | |
| <p><i>Re-enter LEONINE</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech32><b>LEONINE</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=105>These roguing thieves serve the great pirate Valdes;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=106>And they have seized Marina. Let her go:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=107>There's no hope she will return. I'll swear</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=108>she's dead,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=109>And thrown into the sea. But I'll see further:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=110>Perhaps they will but please themselves upon her,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=111>Not carry her aboard. If she remain,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=112>Whom they have ravish'd must by me be slain.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit</i></p> | |
