(22:35) Moment of Drama
The Island Princess by John Fletcher
Act I Scene i
Quisara. Do some brave thing that may entice me that way,
Some thing of such a meritorious goodness,
Of such an unmatcht nobleness, that I may know
You have a power beyond ours that preserves you:
‘Tis not the person, nor the royal title,
Nor wealth, nor glory, that I look upon,
That inward man I love that’s lin’d with virtue,
That well deserving soul works out a favor;
I have many Princes suiters, many great ones,
Yet above these I love you, you are valiant,
An active man, able to build a fortune;
I do not say I dote, nor meane to marry,
Only the hope is, something may be done,
That may compel my faith, and ask my freedome,
And leave opinion fair.
