Char. I am amazd: what I have reade & heard
Tournes me like Gorgon into senclessnes.
He speaks heare of a rynge, a wytchcraft rynge,
By which I was inchaunted to hys syster.
Where is that damned juell?
Tur. Here in my safe possessyon, thys is it,
Which at her deathe, lodgd underneathe her tonge,
I found by carefull searche. Good deare sir, keepe it
And hencefourthe onlye love your royall selfe.
The spell is past example, & hys synne
Can onlye ballance downe the wyckednes.
Gan. Butt I confes it, & the sorcerrer
That made it I did murder conynglye,
And at her deathe had I recompast it,
I had beene kynge of Fraunce. Thys noble knave
Was pryvie to the passadge.
Did. Tys toe late Nowe to denye it: deathe never bryngs hys smarte But when a strycks gaynst lawe or gaynst desarte.
Char. Away with them, & see theym presentlye
Broken uppon the wheele.
[Ex. Gan. Did. & guard.
Nephewe, for you
I give you freelye here the realme of Spayne
And all domynions in it; for your guarde
Ten thousand of our best Frenche gentyllmen.
And wishe your fortunes like your valure be
The best of everye lived posterytie.
Orl. Sir[106], you doe bynde me to eternall servyce
Bothe in your love & justyce, for we fynde
Th'instructyons that on evyll men depends
Is to compare theire projects with theire ends.
