22732051Here coms his seruant : how now Catesby what saies he.

22752052Cates. My Lord, he doth intreat your grace

22762053To visit him to morrow or next daie,

22772054He is within with two right reuerend fathers,

22782055Diuinely bent to meditation,

22792056And in no worldly suite would he be mou'd,

22802057To draw him from his holy exercise.

22812058Buck. Returne good Catesby to thy Lord againe,

22822059Tell him my selfe, the Maior and Cittizens,

22832060In deepe designes and matters of great moment,

22852062Are come to haue some conference with his grace.

22862063Cates. Ile tell him what you say my Lord. Exit.

22872064Buck. A ha my Lord this prince is not an Edward :

22882065He is not lulling on a lewd day bed,

22892066But on his knees at meditation:

22902067Not dalying with a brace of Curtizans,

22912068But meditating with two deepe Diuines:

22922069Not sleeping to ingrosse his idle body,

22932070But praying to inrich his watchfull soule.

22942071Happy were England, would this gracious prince

22952072Take on himselfe the souerainty thereon,

22962073But sure I feare we shall neuer winne him to it.

22992075Buck. I feare he wil, how now Catesby, Enter Cates.

23032078Such troupes of Cittizens to speake with him,

23042079His grace not being warnd thereof before,

23062081Buck. Sorrie I am my noble Cosen should

23072082Suspect me that I meane no good to him.

23082083By heauen I come in perfect loue to him,

23092084And so once more returne and tell his grace: Exit Catesby.
