922945How neere the tidings of our comfort is.

923946Wil. Nay let vs share thy thoughts as thou dost ours.

924947Rosse Be confident to speake Northumberland

925948We three are but thy selfe, and speaking so

926949Thy words are but as thoughts, therefore be bold.

927950North. Then thus, I haue from le Port Blan

928951A Bay in Brittaine receiude intelligence,

929952That Harry duke of Herford, Rainold L. Cobham

930953That late broke from the Duke of Exeter

931954His brother, archbishop late of Canterburie,

932955Sir Thomas Erpingham, sir Iohn Ramston,

933956Sir Iohn Norbery, sir Robert Waterton, and Francis Coines;

934957All these well furnished by the Duke of Brittaine

935958With eight tall shippes, three thousand men of warre,

936959Are making hither with all due expedience,

937960And shortly meane to touch our Northerne shore:

938961Perhaps they had ere this but that they stay

939962The first departing of the King for Ireland.

940963If then we shall shake off our slauish yoke,

941964Impe out our drowping countries broken wing,

942965Redeeme from Broking pawne the blemisht Crowne,

943966Wipe off the dust that hides our Scepters guilt,

944967And make high Maiestie looke like it selfe,

945968Away with me in post to Rauenspurgh:

946969But if you faint, as fearing to do so,

947970Stay, and be secret, and my selfe will go.

948971Rosse To horse, to horse, vrge doubts to them that feare.

949972Willo. Holde out my horse, and I will first be there.

953975Bush. Madam, your maiestie is too much sad,

954976You promist, when you parted with the King,

955977To lay aside life-harming heauines,

956978And entertaine a cheerefull disposition.

957979Queene To please the king I did, to please my selfe

958980I cannot do it; yet I know no cause

959981Why I should welcome such a guest as Griefe,
