Amint. What?

Mel. That little word was worth all the sounds
                  That ever I shall hear agen.

Diph. O brother! here lies your Sister slain;
                  You lose your self in sorrow there.

Mel. Why Diphilus, it is
                  A thing to laugh at in respect of this;
                  Here was my Sister, Father, Brother, Son;
                  All that I had; speak once again;
                  What youth lies slain there by thee?

Amint. 'Tis Aspatia.
                 My senses fade, let me give up my soul
                  Into thy bosom.
_Cal. What's that? what's that? Aspatia!

Mel. I never did repent the greatness of my heart till now; It will not burst at need.

Cal. My daughter dead here too! and you have all fine new tricks to grieve; but I ne're knew any but direct crying.

Mel. I am a pratler, but no more.

Diph. Hold Brother.

Lysip. Stop him.

Diph. Fie; how unmanly was this offer in you!
                 Does this become our strain?

Cal. I know not what the mat[t]er is, but I am
                 Grown very kind, and am friends with you;
                 You have given me that among you will kill me
                 Quickly; but I'le go home, and live as long as I can.

Mel. His spirit is but poor that can be kept
                  From death for want of weapons.
                  Is not my hand a weapon good enough
                  To stop my breath? or if you tie down those,
                  I vow Amintor I will never eat,
                  Or drink, or sleep, or have to do with that
                  That may preserve life; this I swear to keep.

Lysip. Look to him tho', and bear those bodies in.
                  May this a fair example be to me,
                  To rule with temper: for on lustful Kings
                  Unlookt for sudden deaths from heaven are sent!
                  But curst is he that is their instrument.
