489Enter Queene, Ladies, and Cornelius.
490Qu. Whiles yet the dewe's on ground,
491Gather those Flowers,
492Make haste. Who ha's the note of them?
493Lady. I Madam.
498(My Conscience bids me aske) wherefore you haue
500Which are the moouers of a languishing death:
501But though slow, deadly.
504Thy Pupill long? Hast thou not learn'd me how
506That our great King himselfe doth woo me oft
507For my Confections? Hauing thus farre proceeded,
509That I did amplifie my iudgement in
510Other Conclusions? I will try the forces

521Enter Pisanio.
