966856And but my going, nothing can redeeme it.

967857Kate O yet for Gods sake, go not to these wars,

968858The time was father, that you broke your word,

969859When you were more endeere to it then now,

970860When your owne Percie, when my hearts deere Harry,

971861Threw many a Northward looke, to see his father

972862Bring vp his powers, but he did long in vaine.

973863Who then perswaded you to stay at home?

974864There were two honors lost, yours, and your sonnes,

975865For yours, the God of heauen brighten it,

976866For his, it stucke vpon him as the sunne

977867In the grey vault of heauen, and by his light

1008875Or it will seeke me in an other place,

1009876And find me worse prouided.

1015882To make strength stronger: but for al our loues,

1016883First let them trie themselues, so did your sonne,

1017884He was so suffred, so came I a widow,

1018885And neuer shall haue length of life enough,

1019886To raine vpon remembrance with mine eies,

1020887That it may grow and sprout as high as heauen,

1023890As with the tide, sweld vp vnto his height,

1026893But many thousand reasons hold me backe,

1027894I will resolue for Scotland, there am I,

1028895Till time and vantage craue my company. exeunt.
