Were but thy father, the Valentia lord,
Present in view of this combining knot.
A shout within. Enter a MESSENGER.
What shout was that?
MESSENGER. My lord, the great Valentia king,
Newly arrived, entreats your presence.
MUCEDORUS. My father?
KING OF ARRAGON. Prepared welcomes; give him entertainment.
A happier planet never reigned than that,
Which governs at this hour.
