1892Where hauing nothing, nothing can he lose.

1893And as for you your selfe (our quondam Queene)

1894You haue a Father able to maintaine you,

1895And better 'twere, you troubled him, then France.

1896Mar. Peace impudent, and shamelesse Warwicke,

1897Proud setter vp, and puller downe of Kings,

1898I will not hence, till with my Talke and Teares

1899(Both full of Truth) I make King Lewis behold

1900Thy slye conueyance, and thy Lords false loue,

1902For both of you are Birds of selfe-same Feather.

1903Lewes. Warwicke, this is some poste to vs, or thee.

1905Post. My Lord Ambassador,

1906These Letters are for you. Speakes to Warwick,

1907Sent from your Brother Marquesse Montague.

1908These from our King, vnto your Maiesty. To Lewis.

1909And Madam, these for you: To Margaret

1910From whom, I know not.

1912Oxf. I like it well, that our faire Queene and Mistris

1913Smiles at her newes, while Warwicke frownes at his.

1914 Prince Ed. Nay marke how Lewis stampes as he were

1915netled. I hope, all's for the best.

1916Lew. Warwicke, what are thy Newes?

1917And yours, faire Queene.

1918 Mar. Mine such, as fill my heart with vnhop'd ioyes.

1919War. Mine full of sorrow, and hearts discontent.

1920Lew. What? has your King married the Lady Grey?

1921And now to sooth your Forgery, and his,

1922Sends me a Paper to perswade me Patience?

1923Is this th' Alliance that he seekes with France?

1924Dare he presume to scorne vs in this manner?

1925Mar. I told your Maiesty as much before:

1926This proueth Edwards Loue, and Warwickes honesty.

1927War. King Lewis, I heere protest in sight of heauen,

1928And by the hope I haue of heauenly blisse,

1929That I am cleere from this misdeed of Edwards;

1930No more my King, for he dishonors me,

1931But most himselfe, if he could see his shame.

1932Did I forget, that by the House of Yorke

1933My Father came vntimely to his death?

1934Did I let passe th' abuse done to my Neece?

1935Did I impale him with the Regall Crowne?

1936Did I put Henry from his Natiue Right?

1937And am I guerdon'd at the last, with Shame?

1938Shame on himselfe, for my Desert is Honor.

1939And to repaire my Honor lost for him,

1940I heere renounce him, and returne to Henry.

1941My Noble Queene, let former grudges passe,

1942And henceforth, I am thy true Seruitour:

1943I will reuenge his wrong to Lady Bona,

1944And replant Henry in his former state.

1945Mar. Warwicke,

1946These words haue turn'd my Hate, to Loue,

1947And I forgiue, and quite forget old faults,

1948And ioy that thou becom'st King Henries Friend.

1949War. So much his Friend, I, his vnfained Friend,

1950That if King Lewis vouchsafe to furnish vs

1951With some few Bands of chosen Soldiours,

1952Ile vndertake to Land them on our Coast,

1953And force the Tyrant from his seat by Warre.

1954'Tis not his new-made Bride shall succour him.

1955And as for Clarence, as my Letters tell me,

1956Hee's very likely now to fall from him,

1957For matching more for wanton Lust, then Honor,

1958Or then for strength and safety of our Country.

1959Bona. Deere Brother, how shall Bona be reueng'd,

1960But by thy helpe to this distressed Queene?

1961 Mar. Renowned Prince, how shall Poore Henry liue,

1962Vnlesse thou rescue him from foule dispaire?

1963 Bona. My quarrel, and this English Queens, are one.

1964War. And mine faire Lady Bona, ioynes with yours.

1965Lew. And mine, with hers, and thine, and Margarets.

1966Therefore, at last, I firmely am resolu'd

1967You shall haue ayde.

1968Mar. Let me giue humble thankes for all, at once.

1969Lew. Then Englands Messenger, returne in Poste,

1970And tell false Edward, thy supposed King,

1971That Lewis of France, is sending ouer Maskers

1972To reuell it with him, and his new Bride.

1973Thou seest what's past, go feare thy King withall.

1974 Bona. Tell him, in hope hee'l proue a widower shortly,

1975I weare the Willow Garland for his sake.

1976 Mar. Tell him, my mourning weeds are layde aside,

1977And I am ready to put Armor on.

1978 War. Tell him from me, that he hath done me wrong,

1979And therefore Ile vn-Crowne him, er't be long.

1980There's thy reward, be gone. Exit Post.

1981Lew. But Warwicke,

1982Thou and Oxford, with fiue thousand men

1983Shall crosse the Seas, and bid false Edward battaile:

1984And as occasion serues, this Noble Queen

1985And Prince, shall follow with a fresh Supply.

1986Yet ere thou go, but answer me one doubt:

1987What Pledge haue we of thy firme Loyalty?

1988War. This shall assure my constant Loyalty,

1989That if our Queene, and this young Prince agree,

1990Ile ioyne mine eldest daughter, and my Ioy,

1991To him forthwith, in holy Wedlocke bands.

1992 Mar. Yes, I agree, and thanke you for your Motion.

1993Sonne Edward, she is Faire and Vertuous,

1994Therefore delay not, giue thy hand to Warwicke,

1995And with thy hand, thy faith irreuocable,

1996That onely Warwickes daughter shall be thine.

1997Prin.Ed. Yes, I accept her, for she well deserues it,

1998And heere to pledge my Vow, I giue my hand.

2000 Lew. Why stay we now? These soldiers shalbe leuied,

2001And thou Lord Bourbon, our High Admirall

2002Shall waft them ouer with our Royall Fleete.

2003I long till Edward fall by Warres mischance,

2004For mocking Marriage with a Dame of France.

2006War. I came from Edward as Ambassador,

2007But I returne his sworne and mortall Foe:

2008Matter of Marriage was the charge he gaue me,

2009But dreadfull Warre shall answer his demand.

2010Had he none else to make a stale but me?

2011Then none but I, shall turne his Iest to Sorrow.

2012I was the Cheefe that rais'd him to the Crowne,

2013And Ile be Cheefe to bring him downe againe:

2014Not that I pitty Henries misery,

2015But seeke Reuenge on Edwards mockery. Exit.

2018 Rich. Now tell me Brother Clarence, what thinke you

2019Of this new Marriage with the Lady Gray?

2020Hath not our Brother made a worthy choice?

2021Cla. Alas, you know, tis farre from hence to France,
