Gov. Now 'tis a wedding again. And if Hippolyta Make good, what with the hazard of her life, She undertook, the evening will set clear
Enter Hippolyta, leading Leopold, Arnoldo, Zenocia, in either hand, Zabulon, Sulpitia.
After a stormy day.
Char. Here comes the Lady.
Clod. With fair Zenocia, Health with life again Restor'd unto her.
Zen. The gift of her goodness.
Rut. Let us embrace, I am of your order too,
And though I once despair'd of women, now
I find they relish much of Scorpions,
For both have stings, and both can hurt, and cure too;
But what have been your fortunes?
Arn. Wee'l defer
Our story, and at time more fit, relate it.
Now all that reverence vertue, and in that
Zenocias constancy, and perfect love,
Or for her sake Arnoldo, join with us
In th' honour of this Lady.
Char. She deserves it.
Hip. Hippolytas life shall make that good hereafter,
Nor will I alone better my self but others:
For these whose wants perhaps have made their actions
Not altogether innocent, shall from me
Be so supplied, that need shall not compel them,
To any course of life, but what the law
Shall give allowance to.
