908Ah, good my Lord, condemne not all for one:

909You haue two daughters left, to whom I know

910You shall be welcome, if you please to go.

911Leir. Oh, how thy words adde sorrow to my soule,

912To thinke of my vnkindnesse to Cordella!

913Whom causelesse I did dispossesse of all,

914Vpon th'vnkind suggesstions of her sisters:

915And for her sake, I thinke this heauy doome

916Is falne on me, and not without desert:

917Yet vnto Ragan was I alwayes kinde,

918And gaue to her the halfe of all I had:

919It may be, if I should to her repayre,

920She would be kinder, and intreat me fayre.

921Per. No doubt she would, & practise ere't be long,

922By force of Armes for to redresse your wrong.

923Leir. Well, since thou doest aduise me for to go,

924I am resolu'd to try the worst of wo. Exeunt.

926Rag. How may I blesse the howre of my natiuity,

927Which bodeth vnto me such happy Starres!

928How may I thank kind fortune, that vouchsafes

929To all my actions, such desir'd euent!

930I rule the King of Cambria as I please:

931The States are all obedient to my will;

932And looke what ere I say, it shall be so;

933Not any one, that dareth answere no.

934My eldest sister liues in royall state,

935And wanteth nothing fitting her degree:

936Yet hath she such a cooling card withall,

937As that her hony sauoureth much of gall.

938My father with her is quarter-master still,

939And many times restraynes her of her will:

940But if he were with me, and seru'd me so,

941Ide send him packing some where else to go.

942Ide entertayne him with such slender cost,

943That he should quickly wish to change his host. Exit.

945Corn. Ah, Gonorill, what dire vnhappy chaunce
