The will, where power is wanting, is good payment;
Grace doth reject no thought, tho' nere so small,
So it be good; our God is kind to all.
Come, my deare Lord, this is a course more kind;
No life like us that have a heavenly mind.
_Mon_. O let me be a servant in that life.
_Valen_. With all my heart, a Partner let him be
There's small ambition in humility.
_Duke_. _Fredericke_, farewell, deare _Euphrata_, adue;
Remember us in prayer, as we will you.
[_Exeunt D. & D_
_Fred_. A happy change: would all that step awry
Would take like course in seeking pietie.
_Otho_. Two humble suites I crave of my best friend:
First, pardon for my rashnesse in your love,
Next this most loyall Virgin for my wife.
_Con_. With all my heart, if _Julia_ be pleas'd.
_Julia_. I have no power to disobey your grant.
_Con_. Then she is yours.
_Fred_. _Alberto_,
The offices belonging to our Uncles
We doe derive to you for your good service
In our late warres, and in our sisters love.
And now set forwards: Lords, let us be gone
To solemnize two mariages in one.
