The Historie
22742078The very bottome and the
soule of hope,
22752079The very li
st, the very vtmo
st bound
22782082Where now remaines a
sweet reuer
sion,
22792083We may boldly
spend vpon the hope of what tis to come in,
22812084A comfort of retirement liues in this.
22822085Per. A randeuous, a home to
flie vnto
22832086If that the Diuel and mi
schance looke big
22842087Vpon the maidenhead of our a
ffaires.
22852088Wor. But yet I would your father had bin heere:
22862089The quality and haire of our attempt
22872090Brookes no deui
sion, it will be thought
22882091By
some that know not why he is away,
22892092That wi
sedome, loialty, and meere di
slike
22902093Of our proceedings kept the Earle from hence,
22912094And thinke how
such an apprehen
sion
22922095May turne the tide of fearefull fa
ction,
22932096And breed a kind of que
stion in our cau
se:
22942097For wel you know we of the o
ffring
side
22952098Mu
st keepe aloofe from
stri
ct arbitrement,
22962099And
stop al
sight-holes euery loope from whence
22972100The eie of rea
son may prie in vpon vs,
22982101This ab
sence of your fathers drawes a curtain
22992102That
shewes the ignorant a kind of feare
23022105I rather of his ab
sence make this v
se,
23032106It lends a lu
stre and more great opinion,
23042107A larger dare to our great enterpri
se
23052108Then if the Earle were here, for men mu
st thinke
23062109If we without his helpe can make a head
23072110To pu
sh again
st a kingdome, with his helpe
23082111We
shal oreturne it top
sie turuy down,
23092112Yet all goes well yet all our ioints are whole.
23102113Doug. As hart can thinke, there is not
such a word
23112114Spoke of in Scotland as this tearme of feare.
