2480Mal. I would the Friends we misse, were safe arriu'd.

2481Sey. Some must go off: and yet by these I see,

2482So great a day as this is cheapely bought.

2483Mal. Macduffe is missing, and your Noble Sonne.

2484Rosse. Your son my Lord, ha's paid a souldiers debt,

2485He onely liu'd but till he was a man,

2486The which no sooner had his Prowesse confirm'd

2487In the vnshrinking station where he fought,

2488But like a man he dy'de.

2489Sey. Then he is dead?

2490Rosse. I, and brought off the field: your cause of sorrow

2491Must not be measur'd by his worth, for then

2492It hath no end.

2493Sey. Had he his hurts before?

2494Rosse. I, on the Front.

2495Sey. Why then, Gods Soldier be he:

2496Had I as many Sonnes, as I haue haires,

2497I would not wish them to a fairer death:

2498And so his Knell is knoll'd.

2499Mal. Hee's worth more sorrow,

2500And that Ile spend for him.

2501Sey. He's worth no more,

2502They say he parted well, and paid his score,

2503And so God be with him. Here comes newer comfort.

2505Macd. Haile King, for so thou art.

2506Behold where stands

2507Th'Vsurpers cursed head: the time is free:

2508I see thee compast with thy Kingdomes Pearle,

2509That speake my salutation in their minds:

2510Whose voyces I desire alowd with mine.

2511Haile King of Scotland.

2512All. Haile King of Scotland. Flourish.

2513Mal. We shall not spend a large expence of time,

2514Before we reckon with your seuerall loues,

2515And make vs euen with you. My Thanes and Kinsmen

2516Henceforth be Earles, the first that euer Scotland

2517In such an Honor nam'd: What's more to do,

2518Which would be planted newly with the time,

2519As calling home our exil'd Friends abroad,

2520That fled the Snares of watchfull Tyranny,

2521Producing forth the cruell Ministers

2522Of this dead Butcher, and his Fiend-like Queene;

2523Who (as 'tis thought) by selfe and violent hands,

2524Tooke off her life. This, and what needfull else

2525That call's vpon vs, by the Grace of Grace,

2526We will performe in measure, time, and place:

2527So thankes to all at once, and to each one,

2528Whom we inuite, to see vs Crown'd at Scone.
