Enter Melantius, Diphilus, and Calianax on the Wall.
Pull'd people from the farthest sun to seek him,
And beg his friendship. I was then his soldier.
But since his hot pride drew him to disgrace me,
And brand my noble actions with his lust
(That never-cured dishonour of my sister,
Base stain of whore! and, which is worse,
The joy to make it still so) like myself,
Thus I have flung him off with my allegiance;
And stand here mine own justice, to revenge
What I have suffered in him; and this old man,
Wronged almost to lunacy.
Cal.Who—I?
You would draw me in. I have had no wrong,
I do disclaim ye all.
Mel.The short is this:
'Tis no ambition to lift up myself
Urgeth me thus; I do desire again
To be a subject, so I may be free.
If not, I know my strength, and will unbuild
This goodly town. Be speedy and be wise,
In a reply.
Stra.Be sudden, sir, to tie
All up again: What's done is past recall,
And past you to revenge: and there are thousands,
That wait for such a troubled hour as this.
Throw him the blank.
Lys.Melantius, write in that
Thy choice: My seal is at it.
Mel.It was our honours drew us to this act,
Not gain: and we will only work our pardons.
Cal.Put my name in too.
Diph.You disclaim'd us but now, Calianax.
Cal.That is all one:
I'll not be hang'd hereafter by a trick:
I'll have it in.
Mel.You shall, you shall.—
Come to the back gate, and we'll call you king,
And give you up the fort.
Lys.Away, away..mw-parser-output .wst-floatright{float:right;text-indent:0}[Exeunt.
