King monologue — The Spanish Tragedy

And now to meet these Portuguese; For, as we now are, so sometimes were these, Kings and commanders of the western Indies. Welcome, brave viceroy, to the court of Spain! And welcome, all his honourable train! 'Tis not unknown to us for why you come, Or have so kingly cross'd the seas. Sufficeth it, in this we note the troth And more than common love you lend to us. So is it that mine honourable niece, For it beseems us now that it be known, Already is betroth'd to Balthazar; And, by appointment and our condescent, Tomorrow are they to be married. To this intent we entertain thyself, Thy followers, their pleasure, and our peace. Speak, men of Portingal, shall it be so? If aye, say so; if not, say so flatly.
