1003And with this other, Ile dispatch my loue,

1004Which now lies fast a sleepe within my hart,

1005When they are gone, then Ile consent to loue:

1006Stir not lasciuious king to hinder me,

1007My resolution is more nimbler far,

1008Then thy preuention can be in my rescue,

1009And if thou stir, I strike, therefore stand still,

1010And heare the choyce that I will put thee to:

1011Either sweare to leaue thy most vnholie sute,

1012And neuer hence forth to solicit me,

1013Or else by heauen, this sharpe poynted knyfe,

1014Shall staine thy earth, with that which thou would staine:

1015My poore chast blood, sweare Edward sweare,

1016Or I will strike and die before thee heere.

1023Of her whose ransackt treasurie hath taskt,

1024The vaine indeuor of so many pens:

1025Arise and be my fault, thy honors fame,

1026Which after ages shall enrich thee with,

1027I am awaked from this idle dreame,

1028Warwike, my Sonne, Darby, Artoys and Audley,

1029Braue warriours all, where are you all this while?

1031Warwike, I make thee Warden of the North,

1032Thou Prince of Wales, and Audley straight to Sea,

1033Scoure to New-hauen, some there staie for me:

1034My selfe, Artoys and Darby will through Flaunders,

1035To greete our friends there, and to craue their aide,

1036This night will scarce suffice me to discouer,

1037My follies seege, against a faithfull louer,

1038For ere the Sunne shal guide the esterne skie,
