ACT I., SCENE 1.

Enter Zarack, Balthazar, two Moors, taking tobacco; music sounding within. Enter Queen-Mother of Spain with two Pages. Eleazar, sitting on a chair, suddenly draws the curtain.[51]

Ele. On me does music spend this sound! on me,
That hate all unity! ah, Zarack! [ah,] Balthazar!

Queen-M. My gracious lord.

Ele. Are you there with your beagles! hark, you slaves!
Did not I bind you on your lives to watch
That none disturb'd us?

Queen-M. Gentle Eleazar.

Ele. There, off: is't you that deaf me with this noise?

[Exeunt two Moors.

Queen-M. Why is my love's aspèct so grim and horrid?
Look smoothly on me;
Chime out your softest strains of harmony,
And on delicious music's silken wings
Send ravishing delight to my love's ears,
That he may be enamoured of your tunes.
Come, let's kiss.
