Gycia: A Tragedy in Five Acts
Fills me with joy. Go, tell the Lady Gycia

The Prince is safe in Cherson.

Meg. My Lord Asander, remember what is due to yourself and Bosphorus. Remember, when this merchant's daughter comes, you must not treat her as an equal. Courtesy to a woman is all very well, but rank has greater claims still, especially when you have to deal with such people as these. Now, remember, you must make no obeisance at all; and if you advance to meet her more—(Enter Gycia, Irene, Melissa, and Ladies. Irene, seeing Asander, faints, and is withdrawn, Gycia 41 supporting her. Confusion.)—than one step, you are lost for ever. These are the truly important things.

Gycia, Irene, Melissa

Good Megacles,

Forewarned I am forearmed.

(Aside) Thou fluent trickster!

Fit head of such a State! I would to Heaven

I had never come!

Re-enter Gycia.

Gycia

Nay, nay, I thank the saints
