Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


But in good time, see where is company.--
Kinde Gentlemen, if you, unlike my selfe,
Are not incumbred with the circling wayes
Of this erronious winding wildernesse,
I pray you to direct me foorth this wood
And showe the pathe that leades to _Padua_.
_Duke_. We all are _Paduans_, and we all intend
To passe forthwith with speed to _Padua_.
_Allen_. I will attend upon you presently. [_See the bodyes_.
_Duke_. Come then away:--but, gentlemen beholde,
A bloody sight, and murtherous spectacle!
2 _Mur_. Oh, God, forgive me all my wickednesse
And take me to eternall happinesse!
_Duke_. Harke one of them hath some small sparke of life,
To kindle knowledge of their sad mishaps.
_Allen_. Ah gratious Lord, I know this wretched child,
And these two men that here lye murthered.
_Vesu_. Do you, _Allenso_?
_Allen_. I, my gracious Lord:
It was _Pertillo_ my dead Unckles sonne.
Now have my feares brought forth this fearefull childe
Of endlesse care, and everlasting griefe!
_Duke_. Lay hands upon _Allenso_, Gentlemen.
Your presence doth confirme you had a share
In the performance of this crueltie.
