Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


_Treadway_. Of what byrthe is shee?
_Raphael_. Unknwne to mee or any: shee protests,
Neye to her self; what neede I question that?
Sure sutche sweete features, goodnes, modesty
Such gentlenes, such vertue cannot bee
Deryvd from base and obscure parentadge.
_Treadway_. Whats then your end and purpose?
_Raphael_. To redeeme her
Out of this gayle of sinne and leprosye,
This mart of all diseases, where shee lyves
Still under the comande and Tyrany
Of a most base hee-bawde: about which busines
Wee have allready traffict.
_Treadway_. Well, if so,
And to dispose her elsewhere to her goodd,
Provided still that vertue be your ayme,
I cannot but commende your charity
And to my power I'l seeke to further it.
_Raphael_. You so intyre mee to you. Within theire!
_Enter the Clowne_.
_Clowne_. Within theire is nowe without heare: your worshipps pleasure?
_Raphael_. Hye to the next key and inquire for one cald Seignior
_Mildewe_ and resolve him from mee that I have kept apointment: the
somms redy and present to bee tendred.
_Clowne_.
