Upon my fortunes, fam'd to be so great:
Calling a great part of my dowry in question.

_Phi_. Madam, this truth which I shall speak, will be
Foolish: but for your fair and vertuous self,
I could afford my self to have no right
To any thing you wish'd.

_Are. Philaster,_ know
I must enjoy these Kingdoms.

_Phi_. Madam, both?

_Are_. Both or I die: by Fate I die _Philaster,_
If I not calmly may enjoy them both.

_Phi_. I would do much to save that Noble life:
Yet would be loth to have posterity
Find in our stories, that _Philaster_ gave
His right unto a Scepter, and a Crown,
To save a Ladies longing.

_Are_. Nay then hear:
I must, and will have them, and more.

_Phi_. What more?

_Are_. Or lose that little life the gods prepared,
To trouble this poor piece of earth withall.
