The Maids Tragedy Alter'd.
A Subject should be heard before he's slain?[errata 1]And does less right belong to us that Reign?
Mel. If, as unjust, I could have thought you brave,This way I chosen had Revenge to have.A way so noble; that I must confess,Already I begin to hate you less.So unexpected and so brave a thing,Makes me rember[errata 2] that you are my King.And I could rather be contented, sinceHe challeng'd first, to combat with that Prince.That so, a Brother for a Sister chang'd,We may be of your wanton Pride reveng'd.
King. 'Twas I that wrong'd you, you my Life have sought;No Duel ever was more justly fought.We both have reason for our fatal wrath:Nor is it fit the World should hold us both.
Lucippus to the King apart.

Errata
