603After well entred souldiers, to returne

604And finde your grace in health.

605King No, no, it cannot be; and yet my heart

606Will not confesse he owes the mallady

607That doth my life besiege: farwell yong Lords,

608Whether I liue or die, be you the sonnes

609Of worthy French men: let higher Italy

610(Those bated that inherit but the fall

611Of the last Monarchy) see that you come

612Not to wooe honour, but to wed it, when

613The brauest questant shrinkes: finde what you seeke,

614That fame may cry you loud: I say farewell.

615L. G Health at your bidding serue your Maiesty.

616King Those girles of Italy, take heed of them,

617They say our French, lacke language to deny

618If they demand: beware of being Captiues

619Before you serue.

620Bo Our hearts receiue your warnings.

621King Farewell, come hether to me.

6221. Lo. G Oh my sweet Lord CyC you wil stay behind vs.

623Parr 'Tis not his fault the spark.

6242. Lo. E Oh 'tis braue warres.

625Parr Most admirable, I haue seene those warres.

626Rossill I am commanded here, and kept a coyle with,

627Too young, and the next yeere, and 'tis too early.

628Parr And thy minde stand too't boy,

629Steale away brauely.

630Rossill I shal stay here the for-horse to a smocke,

631Creeking my shooes on the plaine Masonry,

632Till honour be bought vp, and no sword worne

633But one to dance with: by heauen, Ile steale away.

6341. Lo. G There's honour in the theft.

635Parr Commit it Count.

6362. Lo. E I am your accessary, and so farewell.

637Ros I grow to you, & our parting is a tortur'd body.

6381. Lo. G Farewell Captaine.

6392. Lo. E Sweet Mounsier Parolles

640Parr Noble Heroes my sword and yours are kinne,

641good sparkes and lustrous, a word good mettals. You

642shall finde in the Regiment of the Spinij, one Captaine

643Spuriohis sicatrice, with an Embleme of warre heere on

644his sinister cheeke; it was this very sword entrench'd it:

645say to him I liue, and obserue his reports for me.

646Lo. G We shall noble Captaine.

647Parr Marsdoate on you for his nouices, what will

648ye doe?

649Ross. Stay the King.

650Parr Vse a more spacious ceremonie to the Noble

651Lords, you haue restrain'd your selfe within the List of

652too cold an adieu: be more expressiue to them; for they

653weare themselues in the cap of the time, there do muster

654true gate; eat, speake, and moue vnder the influence of

655the most receiu'd starre, and though the deuill leade the

656measure, such are to be followed: after them, and take a

657more dilated farewell.

658Ros And I will doe so.

659Parr Worthy fellowes, and like to prooue most si-

660newie sword-men. Exeunt

662L. Laf Pardon my Lord for mee and for my tidings.

663King Ile see thee to stand vp.

664L. Laf Then heres a man stands that has brought his (pardon,

665I would you had kneel'd my Lord to aske me mercy,

666And that at my bidding you could so stand vp.

667King I would I had, so I had broke thy pate

668And askt thee mercy for't.

669Laf Goodfaith a-crosse, but my good Lord 'tis thus,

670Will you be cur'd of your infirmitie?

671King No.

672Laf O will you eat no grapes my royall foxe?

673Yes but you will, my noble grapes, and if

674My royall foxe could reach them: I haue seen a medicine

675That's able to breath life into a stone,

676Quicken a rocke, and make you dance Canari

677With sprightly fire and motion, whose simple touch

678Is powerfull to arayse King Pippen nay

679To giue great Charlemainea pen in's hand

680And write to her a loue-line.

681King What her is this?

682Laf Why doctor she: my Lord, there's one arriu'd,

683If you will see her: now by my faith and honour,

684If seriously I may conuay my thoughts

685In this my light deliuerance, I haue spoke

686With one, that in her sexe, her yeeres, profession,

687Wisedome and constancy, hath amaz'd mee more

688Then I dare blame my weakenesse: will you see her?

689For that is her demand, and know her businesse?

690That done, laugh well at me.

691King Now good Lafew

692Bring in the admiration, that we with thee

693May spend our wonder too, or take off thine

694By wondring how thou tookst it.

695Laf Nay, Ile fit you,

696And not be all day neither.

697King Thus he his speciall nothing euer prologues.

698Laf Nay, come your waies.

700King This haste hath wings indeed.

701Laf Nay, come your waies,

702This is his Maiestie, say your minde to him,

703A Traitor you doe looke like, but such traitors

704His Maiesty seldome feares, I am CressedsVncle,

705That dare leaue two together, far you well. Exit

706King Now faire one, do's your busines follow vs?

707Hel I my good Lord,

708Gerard de Narbonwas my father,

709In what he did professe, well found.

710King I knew him.

711Hel The rather will I spare my praises towards him,

712Knowing him is enough: on's bed of death,

713Many receits he gaue me, chieflie one,

714Which as the dearest issue of his practice

715And of his olde experience, th' onlie darling,

716He bad me store vp, as a triple eye,

717Safer then mine owne two: more deare I haue so,

718And hearing your high Maiestie is toucht

719With that malignant cause, wherein the honour

720Of my deare fathers gift, stands cheefe in power,

721I come to tender it, and my appliance,

722With all bound humblenesse.

723King We thanke you maiden,

724But may not be so credulous of cure,

725When our most learned Doctors leaue vs, and

726The congregated Colledge haue concluded,

727That labouring Art can neuer ransome nature

728From her inaydible estate: I say we must not

729So staine our iudgement, or corrupt our hope,

730To prostitute our past-cure malladie

731To empericks, or to disseuer so

732Our great selfe and our credit, to esteeme

733A sencelesse helpe, when helpe past sence we deeme.
