680 Say that my greefe is no way medicinable,

681But by the losse and bruising of thine honour,

682War: Yf nothing but that losse may vantage you,

683I would accomplish that losse my vauntage to,

684King. Thinkst that thou canst answere thy oth againe,

685War: I cannot nor I would not if I could.

686King. But if thou dost what shal I say to thee,

687War: What may be said to anie periurd villane,

688That breake the sacred warrant of an oath,

689King. What wilt thou say to one that breaks an othe,

690War. That hee hath broke his faith with God and man,

691And from them both standes excommunicat,

692King. What office were it to suggest a man,

693To breake a lawfull and religious vowe.

694War. An office for the deuill not for man,

695Ki. That deuilles office must thou do for me,

696Or breake thy oth or cancell all the bondes,

697Of loue and duetie twixt thy self and mee,

698And therefore Warwike if thou art thy selfe,

699The Lord and master of thy word and othe,

700Go to thy daughter and in my behalfe,

701Comaund her, woo her, win her anie waies,

702To be my mistres and my secret loue,

703I will not stand to heare thee make reply,

704Thy oth breake hers or let thy souereigne dye. Exit,

705King: O doting King, or detestable office,

706Well may I tempt my self to wrong my self,

707When he hath sworne me by the name of God,

708To breake a vowe made by the name of God,

709What if I sweare by this right hand of mine,

710To cut this right hande of the better waie,

711Were to prophaine the Idoll then confound it,

712But neither will I do Ile keepe myne oath,

713And to my daughter make a recantation,

714Of all the vertue I haue preacht to her,
