Enter DELIO, and Antonio's SON.

MAL. O sir, you come too late!

DELIO. I heard so, and

Was arm'd for't, ere I came. Let us make noble use

Of this great ruin; and join all our force

To establish this young hopeful gentleman

In's mother's right. These wretched eminent things
Leave no more fame behind 'em, than should one
Fall in a frost, and leave his print in snow;
As soon as the sun shines, it ever melts,
Both form and matter. I have ever thought
Nature doth nothing so great for great men,
As when she's pleas'd to make them lords of truth:
Integrity of life is fame's best friend,

Which nobly, beyond death, shall crown the end.

Directed in their most affectionate Loue, at the Confirmation of their right Worthy Brother John Gore in the High Office of His Muiesties Liuetenant ouer this His Royall Chamber.

Of this piece (see Account of Webster and his Writings, p. xii.) a copy, perhaps unique, which formerly belonged to Mr. Heber, is now in the collection of his grace the Duke of Devonshire, who in the most obliging manner has allowed me to transcribe it for the present Appendix.
