That live by labour; more than I could love 25

A man that died for me, if he could live
Again.

Arb. She is not like her mother, then.

Gob. Oh, no! When you were in Armenia,
I durst not let her know where you were hurt;

For at the first, on every little scratch, 30

She kept her chamber, wept, and could not eat
Till you were well; and many times the news
Was so long coming, that, before we heard,
She was as near her death as you your health.

Arb. Alas, poor soul! but yet she must be ruled: 35

I know not how I shall requite her well.
I long to see her: have you sent for her,
To tell her I am ready?

Gob. Sir, I have.

Enter First Gentleman and TIGRANES.

1st Gent. Sir, here is the Armenian King.

Arb. He's welcome.

Gent. And the queen-mother and the princess wait 40

Without.

Arb. Good Gobrias, bring 'em in.-----[Exit GOBRIAS.
Tigranes, you will think you are arrived
In a strange land, where mothers cast to poison
Their only sons: think you, you shall be safe?

Tig. Too safe I am, sir. 45

Re-enter GOBRIAS, with ARANE, PANTHEA, SPACONIA,
BACURIUS, MARDONIUS, BESSUS, and two Gentle-
men, Attendants and Guards.

Ara. [Kneels.] As low as this I bow to you; and
would
As low as my grave, to show a mind
Thankful for all your mercies.

Arb. Oh, stand up,
And let me kneel! the light will be ashamed

To see observance done to me by you. 50

Ara. You are my King.

Arb. You are my mother: rise.
