- # The Play of
Or so; so let it passe.
Ths. To me he seems like Diamond, to Glaffe.
Pers. You Kings to me, like to my fathers picture,
Which tels in that glory once he was,
Had Princes fit like Starres about his Throane,
And hee the Sunne for them to reuerence;
None that beheld him, but like lesser lights,
Did vaile their Crownes to his supremacie;
Where now his sonne like a Gloworme in the night,
The which hath Fire in darkneffe, none in light:
Whereby I see that Time's the King of men,
Hee's both their Parent, and he is their Graue,
And giues them what he will, not what they craue.
Kng. What, are you merry, Knights?
Knights. Who can be other, in this royall presence.
Kng. Heere, with a Cup that's flur'd unto the brim,
As do you loue, fill to your Miftris lippes,
Wee drinke this health to you.
Knights. We thanke your Grace.
Kng. Yet pause awhile, you Knight doth fit too melan-

king. O attend my Daughter,
Princes in this, should liue like Gods aboue,
Who freely giue to every one that come to honour them;
And Princes not doing so, are like to Gnats,
Which make a sound, but kild, are wondered at:
Therefore to make his entraunce more sweet,
Heere, say wee drinke this standing boule of wine to him.
Tha. Alas my Father, it befits not mee,
Vnto a stranger Knight to be so bold,
He may my profer take for an offence,
Since men take womens giftes for impudence.
king. How? doe as I bid you, or you le mooue me elfe.
Tha. Now by the Gods, he could not please me better.
II. iii. 35—72
