SCENE I	A
An Ante chamber in the Castle	B
Enter LUDOLPH and SIGIFRED	C
Ludolph No more advices no more cautioning	D
I leave it all to fate to any thing	D
I cannot square my conduct to time place	E
Or circumstances to me 'tis all a mist	C
Sigifred I say no more	F
Ludolph It seems I am to wait	C
Here in the ante room that may be a trifle	B
You see now how I dance attendance here	G
Without that tyrant temper you so blame	H
Snapping the rein You have medicin'd me	I
With good advices and I here remain	J
In this most honourable ante room	K
Your patient scholar	L
Sigifred Do not wrong me Prince	M
By Heavens I'd rather kiss Duke Conrad's slipper	L
When in the morning he doth yawn with pride	C
Than see you humbled but a half degree	I
Truth is the Emperor would fain dismiss	N
The nobles ere he sees you	O
Enter GONFRED from the Council room	K
Ludolph Well sir What	C
Gonfred Great honour to the Prince The Emperor	L
Hearing that his brave son had re appeared	C
Instant dismiss 'd the Council from his sight	C
As Jove fans off the clouds Even now they pass	P
Exit	C
Enter the Nobles from the Council room They cross the stage	Q
bowing unth respect to LUDOLPH he frowning on them	R
CONRAD follows Exeunt Nobles	S
Ludolph Not the discoloured poisons of a fen	T
Which he who breathes feels warning of his death	U
Could taste so nauseous to the bodily sense	V
As these prodigious sycophants disgust	C
The soul's fine palate	C
Conrad Princely Ludolph hail	W
Welcome thou younger sceptre to the realm	X
Strength to thy virgin crownet's golden buds	Y
That they against the winter of thy sire	L
May burst and swell and flourish round thy brows	Z
Maturing to a weighty diadem	R
Yet be that hour far off and may he live	A2
Who waits for thee as the chapp'd earth for rain	J
Set my life's star I have lived long enough	B2
Since under my glad roof propitiously	W
Father and son each other re possess	C2
Ludolph Fine wording Duke but words could never yet	C
Forestall the fates have you not learnt that yet	C
Let me look well your features are the same	H
Your gait the same your hair of the same shade	C
As one I knew some passed weeks ago	D2
Who sung far different notes into mine ears	E2
I have mine own particular comments on 't	C
You have your own perhaps	F2
Conrad My gracious Prince	M
All men may err In truth I was deceived	C
In your great father's nature as you were	L
Had I known that of him I have since known	G2
And what you soon will learn I would have turned	C
My sword to my own throat rather than held	C
Its threatening edge against a good King's quiet	C
Or with one word fever'd you gentle Prince	M
Who seem'd to me as rugged times then went	C
Indeed too much oppress'd May I be bold	C
To tell the Emperor you will haste to him	H2
Ludolph Your Dukedom's privilege will grant so much	I2
Exit CONRAD	C
He's very close to Otho a tight leech	J2
Your hand I go Ha here the thunder comes	K2
Sullen against the wind If in two angry brows	Z
My safety lies then Sigifred I'm safe	L2
Enter OTHO and CONRAD	C
Otho Will you make Titan play the lackey page	Q
To chattering pigmies I would have you know	D2
That such neglect of our high Majesty	C
Annuls all feel of kindred What is son	M2
Or friend or brother or all ties of blood	C
When the whole kingdom centred in ourself	N2
Is rudely slighted Who am I to wait	C
By Peter's chair I have upon my tongue	O2
A word to fright the proudest spirit here	G
Death and slow tortures to the hardy fool	W
Who dares take such large charter from our smiles	P2
Conrad we would be private Sigifred	C
Off And none pass this way on pain of death	U
Exeunt CONRAD and SIGIFRED	C
Ludolph This was but half expected my good sire	L
Yet I am griev'd at it to the full height	C
As though my hopes of favour had been whole	W
Otho How you indulge yourself What can you hope for	F
Ludolph Nothing my liege I have to hope for nothing	D
I come to greet you as a loving son	M2
And then depart if I may be so free	C
Seeing that blood of yours in my warm veins	Q2
Has not yet mitigated into milk	R2
Otho What would you sir	L
Ludolph A lenient banishment	C
So please you let me unmolested pass	P
This Conrad's gates to the wide air again	T
I want no more A rebel wants no more	F
Otho And shall I let a rebel loose again	T
To muster kites and eagles 'gainst my head	C
No obstinate boy you shall be kept cag'd up	S2
Serv'd with harsh food with scum for Sunday drink	T2
Ludolph Indeed	C
Otho And chains too heavy for your life	U2
I'll choose a gaoler whose swart monstrous face	E
Shall be a hell to look upon and she	C
Ludolph Ha	V2
Otho Shall be your fair Auranthe	U
Ludolph Amaze Amaze	W2
Otho To day you marry her	L
Ludolph This is a sharp jest	C
Otho No None at all When have I said a lie	W
Ludolph If I sleep not I am a waking wretch	C
Otho Not a word more Let me embrace my child	C
Ludolph I dare not 'Twould pollute so good a father	L
heavy crime that your son's blinded eyes	X2
Could not see all his parent's love aright	C
As now I see it Be not kind to me	C
Punish me not with favour	L
Otho Are you sure	L
Ludolph you have no saving plea in store	L
Ludolph My father none	M2
Otho Then you astonish me	C
Ludolph No I have no plea Disobedience	Y2
Rebellion obstinacy blasphemy	C
Are all my counsellors If they can make	Z2
My crooked deeds show good and plausible	W
Then grant me loving pardon but not else	A3
Good Gods not else in any way my liege	B3
Otho You are a most perplexing noble boy	C3
Ludolph You not less a perplexing noble father	L
Otho Well you shall have free passport through the gates	D3
Farewell	W
Ludolph Farewell and by these tears believe	E3
And still remember I repent in pain	J
All my misdeeds	F3
Otho Ludolph I will I will	W
But Ludolph ere you go I would enquire	L
If you in all your wandering ever met	C
A certain Arab haunting in these parts	G3
Ludolph No my good lord I cannot say I did	C
Otho Make not your father blind before his time	H3
Nor let these arms paternal hunger more	L
For an embrace to dull the appetite	C
Of my great love for thee my supreme child	C
Come close and let me breathe into thine ear	L
knew you through disguise You are the Arab	I3
You can't deny it Embracing him	H2
Ludolph Happiest of days	W2
Otho We'll make it so	D2
Ludolph 'Stead of one fatted calf	J3
Ten hecatombs shall bellow out their last	C
Smote 'twixt the horns by the death stunning mace	E
Of Mars and all the soldiery shall feast	C
Nobly as Nimrod's masons when the towers	K3
Of Nineveh new kiss'd the parted clouds	L3
Otho Large as a God speak out where all is thine	M3
Ludolph Aye father but the fire in my sad breast	C
Is quench 'd with inward tears I must rejoice	N3
For you whose wings so shadow over me	C
In tender victory but for myself	N2
I still must mourn The fair Auranthe mine	M3
Too great a boon I prythee let me ask I	W
What more than I know of could so have changed	C
Your purpose touching her	L
Otho At a word this	N
In no deed did you give me more offense	V
Than your rejection of Erminia	O3
To my appalling I saw too good proof	P3
Of your keen eyed suspicion she is naught	C
Ludolph You are convinced	C
Otho Aye spite of her sweet looks	Q3
O that my brother's daughter should so fall	W
Her fame has pass'd into the grosser lips	R3
Of soldiers in their cups	S3
Lndolph 'Tis very sad	C
Otho No more of her Auranthe Ludolph come	T3
This marriage be the bond of endless peace Exeunt	C
SCENE II The Entrance of GERSA'S Tent in the Hungarian Camp	U3
Enter ERMINIA	O3
Erminia Where where where shall I find a messenger	L
A trusty soul A good man in the camp	U3
Shall I go myself Monstrous wickedness	V3
O cursed Conrad devilish Auranthe	U
Here is proof palpable as the bright sun	M2
O for a voice to reach the Emperor's ears	E2
Shouts in the Camp	U3
Enter an HUNGARIAN CAPTAIN	M2
Captain Fair prisoner hear you those joyous shouts	W3
The king aye now our king but still your slave	X3
Young Gersa from a short captivity	C
Has just return'd He bids me say	Y3
