5IN deliuering my sonne from me, I burie a se-

6cond husband.

7Ros And I in going Madam, weep ore my

8fathers death anew; but I must attend his maie-

9sties command, to whom I am now in Ward, euermore

10in subiection.

11Laf You shall find of the King a husband Madame,

12you sir a father. He that so generally is at all times good,

13must of necessitie hold his vertue to you, whose worthi-

14nesse would stirre it vp where it wanted rather then lack

15it where there is such abundance.

16Mo What hope is there of his Maiesties amendment?

17Laf He hath abandon'd his Phisitions Madam, vn-

18der whose practises he hath persecuted time with hope,

19and finds no other aduantage in the processe, but onely

20the loosing of hope by time.

21Mo This yong Gentlewoman had a father, O that

22had, how sad a passage tis, whose skill was almost as

23great as his honestie, had it stretch'd so far, would haue

24made nature immortall, and death should haue play for

25lacke of worke. Would for the Kings sake hee were li-

26uing, I thinke it would be the death of the Kings disease.

27Laf How call'd you the man you speake of Madam?

28Mo He was famous sir in his profession, and it was

29his great right to be so: Gerard de Narbon

30Laf He was excellent indeed Madam, the King very

31latelie spoke of him admiringly, and mourningly: hee

32was skilfull enough to haue liu'd stil, if knowledge could

33be set vp against mortallitie.

34Ros What is it (my good Lord) the King languishes

35of?

36Laf A Fistula my Lord.

37Ros I heard not of it before.

38Laf I would it were not notorious. Was this Gen-

39tlewoman the Daughter of Gerard de Narbon

40Mo His sole childe my Lord, and bequeathed to my

41ouer looking. I haue those hopes of her good, that her

42education promises her dispositions shee inherits, which

43makes faire gifts fairer: for where an vncleane mind car-

44ries vertuous qualities, there commendations go with

45pitty, they are vertues and traitors too: in her they are

46the better for their simplenesse; she deriues her honestie,

47and atcheeues her goodnesse.

48Lafew Your commendations Madam get from her

49teares.

50Mo 'Tis the best brine a Maiden can season her praise

51in. The remembrance of her father neuer approches her

52heart, but the tirrany of her sorrowes takes all liuelihood

53from her cheeke. No more of this Helena go too, no

54more least it be rather thought you affect a sorrow, then

55to haue------

56Hell I doe affect a sorrow indeed, but I haue it too.

57Laf Moderate lamentation is the right of the dead,

58excessiue greefe the enemie to the liuing.

59Mo If the liuing be enemie to the greefe, the excesse

60makes it soone mortall.

61Ros Maddam I desire your holie wishes.

62Laf How vnderstand we that?

63Mo Be thou blest Bertrame and succeed thy father

64In manners as in shape: thy blood and vertue

65Contend for Empire in thee, and thy goodnesse

66Share with thy birth-right. Loue all, trust a few,

67Doe wrong to none: be able for thine enemie

68Rather in power then vse: and keepe thy friend

69Vnder thy owne lifes key. Be checkt for silence,

70But neuer tax'd for speech. What heauen more wil,

71That thee may furnish, and my prayers plucke downe,

72Fall on thy head. Farwell my Lord,

73'Tis an vnseason'd Courtier, good my Lord

74Aduise him.

75Laf He cannot want the best

76That shall attend his loue.

77Mo Heauen blesse him: Farwell Bertram

78Ro The best wishes that can be forg'd in your thoghts

79be seruants to you: be comfortable to my mother, your

80Mistris, and make much of her.

81Laf Farewell prettie Lady, you must hold the cre-

82dit of your father.

83Hell O were that all, I thinke not on my father,

84And these great teares grace his remembrance more

85Then those I shed for him. What was he like?

86I haue forgott him. My imagination

87Carries no fauour in't but Bertrams

88I am vndone, there is no liuing, none,

89If Bertram be away. 'Twere all one,

90That I should loue a bright particuler starre,

91And think to wed it, he is so aboue me

92In his bright radience and colaterall light,
