1740I haue more Charity. But say I warn'd ye;

1741Take heed, for heauens sake take heed, least at once

1742The burthen of my sorrowes, fall vpon ye.

1743Car. Madam, this is a meere distraction,

1744You turne the good we offer, into enuy.

1745Quee. Ye turne me into nothing. Woe vpon ye,

1746And all such false Professors. Would you haue me

1747(If you haue any Iustice, any Pitty,

1748If ye be any thing but Churchmens habits)

1749Put my sicke cause into his hands, that hates me?

1750Alas, ha's banish'd me his Bed already,

1751His Loue, too long ago. I am old my Lords,

1752And all the Fellowship I hold now with him

1753Is onely my Obedience. What can happen

1754To me, aboue this wretchednesse? All your Studies

1755Make me a Curse, like this.

1756Camp. Your feares are worse.

1757Qu Haue I liu'd thus long (let me speake my selfe,

1758Since Vertue findes no friends) a Wife, a true one?

1759A Woman (I dare say without Vainglory)

1760Neuer yet branded with Suspition?

1761Haue I, with all my full Affections

1762Still met the King? Lou'd him next Heau'n? Obey'd him?

1763Bin (out of fondnesse) superstitious to him?

1764Almost forgot my Prayres to content him?

1765And am I thus rewarded? 'Tis not well Lords.

1766Bring me a constant woman to her Husband,

1767One that ne're dream'd a Ioy, beyond his pleasure;

1768And to that Woman (when she has done most)

1769Yet will I adde an Honor; a great Patience.

1770Car. Madam, you wander from the good

1771We ayme at.

1772Qu. My Lord,

1773I dare not make my selfe so guiltie,

1774To giue vp willingly that Noble Title

1775Your Master wed me to: nothing but death

1776Shall e're diuorce my Dignities.

1777Car. Pray heare me.

1778Qu. Would I had neuer trod this English Earth,

1779Or felt the Flatteries that grow vpon it:

1780Ye haue Angels Faces; but Heauen knowes your hearts.

1781What will become of me now, wretched Lady?

1782I am the most vnhappy Woman liuing.

1783Alas (poore Wenches) where are now your Fortunes?

1784Shipwrack'd vpon a Kingdome, where no Pitty,

1785No Friends, no Hope, no Kindred weepe for me?

1786Almost no Graue allow'd me? Like the Lilly

1787That once was Mistris of the Field, and flourish'd,

1788Ile hang my head, and perish.

1789Car. If your Grace

1790Could but be brought to know, our Ends are honest,

1791Youl'd feele more comfort. Why shold we (good Lady)

1792Vpon what cause wrong you? Alas, our Places,

1793The way of our Profession is against it;

1794We are to Cure such sorrowes, not to sowe 'em.

1795For Goodnesse sake, consider what you do,

1796How you may hurt your selfe: I, vtterly

1797Grow from the Kings Acquaintance, by this Carriage.

1798The hearts of Princes kisse Obedience,

1799So much they loue it. But to stubborne Spirits,

1800They swell and grow, as terrible as stormes.

1801I know you haue a Gentle, Noble temper,

1802A Soule as euen as a Calme; Pray thinke vs,

1803Those we professe, Peace-makers, Friends, and Seruants.

1804Camp. Madam, you'l finde it so:

1805You wrong your Vertues

1806With these weake Womens feares. A Noble Spirit

1807As yours was, put into you, euer casts

1808Such doubts as false Coine from it. The King loues you,

1809Beware you loose it not: For vs (if you please

1810To trust vs in your businesse) we are ready

1811To vse our vtmost Studies, in your seruice.

1812Qu. Do what ye will, my Lords:

1813And pray forgiue me;

1814If I haue vs'd my selfe vnmannerly,

1815You know I am a Woman, lacking wit

1816To make a seemely answer to such persons.

1817Pray do my seruice to his Maiestie,

1818He ha's my heart yet, and shall haue my Prayers

1819While I shall haue my life. Come reuerend Fathers,

1820Bestow your Councels on me. She now begges

1821That little thought when she set footing heere,

1826Norf. If you will now vnite in your Complaints,

1827And force them with a Constancy, the Cardinall

1828Cannot stand vnder them. If you omit

1829The offer of this time, I cannot promise,

1830But that you shall sustaine moe new disgraces,

1831With these you beare alreadie.

1832Sur. I am ioyfull

1833To meete the least occasion, that may giue me

1834Remembrance of my Father-in-Law, the Duke,

1835To be reueng'd on him.

1836Suf. Which of the Peeres

1837Haue vncontemn'd gone by him, or at least

1838Strangely neglected? When did he regard

1839The stampe of Noblenesse in any person

1840Out of himselfe?

1841Cham. My Lords, you speake your pleasures:

1842What he deserues of you and me, I know:

1843What we can do to him (though now the time

1844Giues way to vs) I much feare. If you cannot

1845Barre his accesse to'th'King, neuer attempt

1846Any thing on him: for he hath a Witchcraft

1847Ouer the King in's Tongue.

1848Nor. O feare him not,

1849His spell in that is out: the King hath found

1850Matter against him, that for euer marres

1851The Hony of his Language. No, he's setled

1852(Not to come off) in his displeasure.

1853Sur. Sir,

1854I should be glad to heare such Newes as this

1855Once euery houre.

1856Nor. Beleeue it, this is true.

1857In the Diuorce, his contrarie proceedings

1858Are all vnfolded: wherein he appeares,

1859As I would wish mine Enemy.

1860Sur. How came

1861His practises to light?

1862Suf. Most strangely.

1863Sur. O how? how?

1864Suf. The Cardinals Letters to the Pope miscarried,
