--
And here she comes; observe her, gentle friend.
[_Enter Euphrata_.
_Euph_. Welcome, sweet _Constantine_.
_Con_. My _Euphrata_.
_Euph_. Thy _Euphrata_, be thou my _Constantine_.
But what is he? a stranger, or thy friend?
_Con_. My second selfe, my second _Euphrata_.
If thou beest mine, salute her, gentle _Otho_.
_Otho_. An humble and a true devoted heart
I tender to you in a mindes chast kisse.
_Euph_. Welcome to me, since welcome to my friend.
_Otho_.--A beautiful, an admirable Ladie!
I thinke 'tis fatall unto every friend
Never to love, untill his friend first love,
And then his choice; but sooner will I teare
Out of this brest mine affection with my heart.
_Euph_. Hearing, sweet _Constantine_, thou wert so nere me,
I came as I were winged to gaze on thee.
_Con_. And would to heaven there were no bar in time
To hinder me from thy desired sight,
But thousand sutors eyes, do watch my steps;
And harke, I heare some trampling. How now, _Julia_?
_Enter Julia_.
_Juli_. Madam, the Lord Montano, spying you
To leave the presence and to enter here,
Hath ever since waited your comming foorth.
