THE LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF LOCRIN

ACT I.

Act I. PROLOGUE.

Enter Ate with thunder and lightning all in black, with a burning

torch in one hand, and a bloody sword in the other hand, and presently let

there come forth a Lion running after a Bear or any other beast; then come

forth an Archer who must kill the Lion in a dumb show, and then depart.

Remain Ate.

ATE. In paenam sectatur & umbra. A Mighty Lion, ruler of the woods,

Of wondrous strength and great proportion, With hideous noise scaring the

trembling trees, With yelling clamors shaking all the earth, Traverst the

groves, and chased the wandering beasts. Long did he range amid the

shady trees, And drave the silly beasts before his face, When suddenly

from out a thorny bush, A dreadful Archer with his bow ybent, Wounded

the Lion with a dismal shaft. So he him stroke that it drew forth the blood,

And filled his furious heart with fretting ire; But all in vain he threatened

teeth and paws, And sparkleth fire from forth his flaming eyes, For the

sharp shaft gave him a mortal wound. So valiant Brute, the terror of the

world, Whose only looks did scare his enemies, The Archer death brought

to his latest end. Oh what may long abide above this ground, In state of

bliss and healthful happiness.

[Exit.]

THE LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF LOCRIN

SCENE I.

Enter Brutus carried in a chair, Locrine, Camber, Albanact, Corineius,

Gwendoline, Assarachus, Debon, Thrasimachus.

BRUTUS. Most loyal Lords and faithful followers, That have with me,

unworthy General, Passed the greedy gulf of Ocean, Leaving the confines

of fair Italy, Behold, your Brutus draweth nigh his end, And I must leave

you, though against my will. My sinews shrunk, my numbed senses fail, A

chilling cold possesseth all my bones; Black ugly death, with visage pale

and wan, Presents himself before my dazzled eyes, And with his dart

prepared is to strike. These arms my Lords, these never daunted arms,

That oft have quelled the courage of my foes, And eke dismay'd my

neighbours arrogancy, Now yield to death, o'erlaid with crooked age,

Devoid of strength and of their proper force, Even as the lusty cedar worn

with years, That far abroad her dainty odor throws, Mongst all the

daughters of proud Lebanon. This heart, my Lords, this near appalled heart,

That was a terror to the bordering lands, A doeful scourge unto my

neighbor Kings, Now by the weapons of unpartial death, Is clove asunder

and bereft of life, As when the sacred oak with thunderbolts, Sent from the

fiery circuit of the heavens, Sliding along the air's celestial vaults, Is rent

and cloven to the very roots. In vain, therefore, I strangle with this foe;

Then welcome death, since God will have it so.

ASSARACHUS. Alas, my Lord, we sorrow at your case, And grieve

to see your person vexed thus; But what so ere the fates determined have,

It lieth not in us to disannul, And he that would annihilate his mind,

Soaring with Icarus too near the sun, May catch a fall with young

Bellerophon. For when the fatal sisters have decreed To separate us from

this earthly mould, No mortal force can countermand their minds: Then,

worthy Lord, since there's no way but one, Cease your laments, and leave

your grievous moan.

CORINEIUS. Your highness knows how many victories, How many

trophies I erected have Triumphantly in every place we came. The Grecian

Monarch, warlike Pandrassus, And all the crew of the Molossians;

Goffarius, the arm strong King of Gauls, And all the borders of great

THE LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF LOCRIN

Aquitaine, Have felt the force of our victorious arms, And to their cost

beheld our chivalry. Where ere Aurora, handmaid of the Sun, Where ere

the Sun, bright guardiant of the day, Where ere the joyful day with

cheerful light, Where ere the light illuminates the world, The Trojan's

glory flies with golden wings, Wings that do soar beyond fell ennui's flight.

The fame of Brutus and his followers Pierceth the skies, and with the skies

the throne Of mighty Jove, Commander of the world. Then worthy Brutus,

leave these sad laments; Comfort your self with this your great renown,

And fear not death though he seem terrible.

BRUTUS. Nay, Corineius, you mistake my mind In construing wrong

the cause of my complaints. I feared to yield my self to fatal death! God

knows it was the least of all my thoughts; A greater care torments my very

bones, And makes me tremble at the thought of it, And in you, Lordings,

doth the substance lie.

THRASI. Most noble Lord, if ought your loyal peers Accomplish may,

to ease your lingering grief, I, in the name of all, protest to you, That we

will boldly enterprise the same, Were it to enter to black Tartarus, Where

triple Cerberus with his venomous throat, Scarreth the ghosts with high

resounding noise. We'll either rent the bowels of the earth, Searching the

entrails of the brutish earth, Or, with his Ixion's overdaring son, Be bound

in chains of everduring steel.

BRUTUS. Then harken to your sovereign's latest words, In which I

will unto you all unfold Our royal mind and resolute intent:-- When

golden Hebe, daughter to great Jove, Covered my manly cheeks with

youthful down, Th' unhappy slaughter of my luckless sire, Drove me and

old Assarachus, mine eame, As exiles from the bounds of Italy: So that

perforce we were constrained to fly To Graecia's Monarch noble

Pandrassus. There I alone did undertake your cause, There I restored your

antique liberty, Though Graecia frowned, and all Mollossia stormed,

Though brave Antigonus, with martial band, In pitched field encountered

me and mine, Though Pandrassus and his contributories, With all the route

of their confederates, Sought to deface our glorious memory And wipe the

name of Trojans from the earth, Him did I captivate with this mine arm,

And by compulsion forced him to agree To certain articles which there we

THE LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF LOCRIN

did propound. From Graecia through the boisterous Hellespont, We came

unto the fields of Lestrigon, Whereas our brother Corineius was, Since

when we passed the Cicillian gulf, And so transfretting the Illirian sea,

Arrived on the coasts of Aquitaine, Where with an army of his barbarous

Gauls Goffarius and his brother Gathelus Encountering with our host,

sustained the foil. And for your sakes my Turnus there I lost, Turnus that

slew six hundred men at arms All in an hour, with his sharp battle-axe.

From thence upon the strons of Albion To Corus haven happily we came,

And quelled the giants, come of Albion's race, With Gogmagog son to

Samotheus, The cursed Captain of that damned crew. And in that Isle at

length I placed you. Now let me see if my laborious toils, If all my care, if

all my grievous wounds, If all my diligence were well employed.

CORINEIUS. When first I followed thee & thine, brave king, I

hazarded my life and dearest blood, To purchase favour at your princely

hands, And for the same in dangerous attempts In sundry conflicts and in

diverse broils, I showed the courage of my manly mind. For this I

combated with Gathelus, The brother to Goffarius of Gaul; For this I

fought with furious Gogmagog, A savage captain of a savage crew; And

for these deeds brave Cornwall I received, A grateful gift given by a

gracious King: And for this gift, this life and dearest blood, Will Corineius

spend for Brutus good.

DEB. And what my friend, brave prince, hath vowed to you, The same

will Debon do unto his end.

BRUTUS. Then, loyal peers, since you are all agreed, And resolute to

follow Brutus hosts, Favor my sons, favor these Orphans, Lords, And

shield them from the dangers of their foes. Locrine, the column of my

family, And only pillar of my weakened age, Locrine, draw near, draw

near unto thy sire, And take thy latest blessings at his hands: And for thou

art the eldest of my sons, Be thou a captain to thy brethren, And imitate

thy aged father's steps, Which will conduct thee to true honor's gate; For if

thou follow sacred virtue's lore, Thou shalt be crowned with a laurel

branch, And wear a wreath of sempiternal fame, Sorted amongst the

glorious happy ones.

LOCRINE. If Locrine do not follow your advise, And bear himself in
