2125Or euer thought well of me in my life, He strips up his arme.

2126Feed on this flesh, whose veynes are not so dry,

2127But there is vertue left to comfort you.

2128O, feed on this, if this will do you good

2129Ile smile for ioy, to see you suck my bloud.

2130Leir. I am no Caniball, that I should delight

2131To slake my hungry iawes with humane flesh:

2132I am no deuill, or ten times worse then so,

2133To suck the bloud of such a peerelesse friend.

2134O, do not think that I respect my life

2135So dearely, as I do thy loyall loue.

2136Ah, Brittayne, I shall neuer see thee more,

2137That hast vnkindly banished thy King:

2138And yet not thou dost make me to complayne,

2139But they which were more neere to me then thou.

2140Cor. What do I heare? this lamentable voyce,

2141Me thinks, ere now I oftentimes haue heard.

2142Leir. Ah, Gonorill, was halfe my Kingdomes gift

2143The cause that thou didst seeke to haue my life?

2144Ah, cruell Ragan, did I giue thee all,

2145And all could not suffice without my bloud?

2146Ah, poore Cordella, did I giue thee nought,

2147Nor neuer shall be able for to giue?

2148O, let me warne all ages that insueth,

2149How they trust flattery, and reiect the trueth.

2150Well, vnkind Girles, I here forgiue you both,

2151Yet the iust heauens will hardly do the like;

2152And only craue forgiuenesse at the end

2153Of good Cordella, and of thee, my friend;

2154Of God, whose Maiesty I haue offended,

2155By my transgression many thousand wayes:

2156Of her, deare heart, whom I for no occasion

2157Turn'd out of all, through flatters persuasion:

2158Of thee, kind friend, who but for me, I know,

2159Hadst neuer come vnto this place of wo.

2160Cor. Alack, that euer I should liue to see

2161My noble father in this misery.

2162King. Sweet Loue, reueale not what thou art as yet,

2163Vntill we know the ground of all this ill.

H2 Cor. O,
