GUISE。 Madam;
I goe as whirl…winces rage before a storme。
Exit Guise。
QUEENE MOTHER。 My Lord of Loraine have you marks of late;
How Charles our sonne begins for to lament
For the late nights worke which my Lord of Guise
Did make in Paris amongst the Hugonites?
CARDINALL。 Madam; I have heard him solemnly vow;
With the rebellious King of Navarre;
For to revenge their deaths upon us all。
QUEENE MOTHER。 I; but my Lord; let me alone for that;
For Katherine must have her will in France:
As I doe live; so surely shall he dye;
And Henry then shall weare the diadem。
And if he grudge or crosse his Mothers will;
Ile disinherite him and all the rest:
For Ile rule France; but they shall weare the crowne:
And if they storme; I then may pull them downe。
Come my Lord let's goe。
Exeunt。
'Scene x'
Enter five or sixe Protestants with bookes; and kneele together。
Enter also the Guise 'and others'。
GUISE。 Downe with the Hugonites; murder them。
PROTESTANT。 O Mounser de Guise; heare me but speake。
GUISE。 No villain; no that toung of thine;
That hath blasphemde the holy Church of Rome;
Shall drive no plaintes into the Guises eares;
To make the justice of my heart relent:
Tue; tue; tue; let none escape:
Kill them。
So; dragge them away。
Exeunt。
'Scene xi'
Enter 'Charles' the King of France; Navar and Epernoune
staying him: enter Queene Mother; and the Cardinall 'of
Loraine; and Pleshe'。
CHARLES。 O let me stay and rest me heer a while;
A griping paine hath ceasde upon my heart:
A sodaine pang; the messenger of death。
QUEENE MOTHER。 O say not so; thou kill'st thy mothers heart。
CHARLES。 I must say so; paine forceth me to complain。
NAVARRE。 Comfort your selfe my Lord I have no doubt;
But God will sure restore you to your health。
CHARLES。 O no; my loving brother of Navarre。
I have deserv'd a scourge I must confesse;
Yet is there pacience of another sort;
Then to misdoe the welfare of their King:
God graunt my neerest freends may prove no worse。
O horde me up; my sight begins to faire;
My sinnewes shrinke; my brain turns upside downe;
My heart doth break; I faint and dye。
He dies。
QUEENE MOTHER。 What art thou dead; sweet sonne? speak to thy Mother。
O no; his soule is fled from out his breast;
And he nor heares; nor sees us what we doe:
My Lords; what resteth now for to be done?
But that we presently despatch Embassadours
To Poland; to call Henry back againe;
To weare his brothers crowne and dignity。
Epernoune; goe see it presently be done;
And bid him come without delay to us。
Epernoune Madam; I will。
Exit Epernoune。
QUEENE MOTHER。 And now my Lords after these funerals be done;
We will with all the speed we can; provide
For Henries coronation from Polonia:
Come let us take his body hence。
All goe out; but Navarre and Pleshe。
NAVARRE。 And now Navarre whilste that these broiles doe last;
My opportunity may serve me fit;
To steale from France; and hye me to my home。
For heers no saftie in the Realme for me;
And now that Henry is cal'd from Polland;
It is my due by just succession:
And therefore as speedily as I can perfourme;
Ile muster up an army secretdy;
For feare that Guise joyn'd with the King of Spaine;
Might seek to crosse me in mine enterprise。
But God that alwaies doth defend the right;
Will shew his mercy and preserve us still。
PLESHE。 The vertues of our poor Religion;
Cannot but march with many graces more:
Whose army shall discomfort all your foes;
And at the length in Pampelonia crowne;
In spite of Spaine and all the popish power;
That hordes it from your highnesse wrongfully:
Your Majestie her rightfull Lord and Soveraigne。
Navarre Truth Pleshe; and God so prosper me in all;
As I entend to labour for the truth;
And true profession of his holy word:
Come Pleshe; lets away while time doth serve。
Exeunt。
'Scene xii'
Sound Trumpets within; and then all crye vive le Roy two or
three times。
Enter Henry crowned: Queene 'Mother'; Cardinall 'of Loraine';
Duke of Guise; Epernoone; 'Mugeroun;' the kings Minions; with
others; and the Cutpurse。
ALL。 Vive le Roy; vive le Roy。
Sound Trumpets。
QUEENE MOTHER。 Welcome from Poland Henry once agayne;
Welcome to France thy fathers royall seate;
Heere hast thou a country voice of feares;
A warlike people to maintaine thy right;
A watchfull Senate for ordaining lawes;
A loving mother to preserve thy state;
And all things that a King may wish besides:
All this and more hath Henry with his crowne。
CARDINALL。 And long may Henry enjoy all this and more。
ALL。 Vive le Roy; vive le Roy。
Sound trumpets。
KING。 Thanks to you al。 The guider of all crownes;
Graunt that our deeds may wel deserve your loves:
And so they shall; if fortune speed my will;
And yeeld our thoughts to height of my desertes。
What say our Minions; think they Henries heart
Will not both harbour love and Majestie?
Put of that feare; they are already joynde;
No person; place; or time; or circumstance;
Shall slacke my loves affection from his bent。
As now you are; so shall you still persist;
Remooveles from the favours of your King。
MUGEROUN。 We know that noble minces change not their thoughts
For wearing of a crowne: in that your grace;
Hath worne the Poland diadem; before
You were withvested in the crowne of France。
KING。 I tell thee Mugeroun we will be freends;
And fellowes to; what ever stormes arise。
MUGEROUN。 Then may it please your Majestie to give me leave;
To punish those that doe prophane this holy feast。
He cuts of the Cutpurse eare; for cutting of the golde
buttons off his cloake。
KING。 How meanst thou that?
CUTPURSE。 O Lord; mine eare。
MUGEROUN。 Come sir; give me my buttons and heers your eare。
GUISE。 Sirra; take him away。
KING。 Hands of good fellow; I will be his baile
For this offence: goe sirra; worke no more;
Till this our Coronation day be past:
And now;
Our rites of Coronation done;
What now remaines; but for a while to feast;
And spend some daies in barriers; tourny; tylte;
And like disportes; such as doe fit the Coutr?
Lets goe my Lords; our dinner staies for us。
Goe out all; but the Queene 'Mother' and the Cardinall。
QUEENE MOTHER。 My Lord Cardinall of Loraine; tell me;
How likes your grace my sonnes pleasantnes?
His mince you see runnes on his minions;
And all his heaven is to delight himselfe:
And whilste he sleepes securely thus in ease;
Thy brother Guise and we may now provide;
To plant our selves with such authoritie;
That not a man may live without our leaves。
Then shall the Catholick faith of Rome;
Flourish in France; and none deny the same。
Cardinall Madam; as I in secresy was tolde;
My brother Guise hath gathered a power of men;
Which are he saith; to kill the Puritans;
But tis the house of Burbon that he meanest
Now Madam must you insinuate with the King;
And tell him that tis for his Countries good;
And common profit of Religion。
QUEENE MOTHER。 Tush man; let me alone with him;
To work the way to bring this thing to passe:
And if he doe deny what I doe say;
Ile dispatch him with his brother presently。
And then shall Mounser weare the diadem。
Tush; all shall dye unles I have my will:
For while she lives Katherine will be Queene。
Come my Lord; let us goe to seek the Guise;
And then determine of this enterprise。
Exeunt。
'Scene xiii'
Enter the Duchesse of Guise; and her Maide。
DUCHESSE。 Goe fetch me pen and inke。
MAID。 I will Madam。
Exit Maid。
DUCHESSE。 That I may write unto my dearest Lord。
Sweet Mugeroune; tis he that hath my heart;
And Guise usurpes it; cause I am his wife:
Faine would I finde some means to speak with him
But cannot; and therfore am enforst to write;
That he may come and meet me in some place;
Where we may one injoy the others sight。
Enter the Maid with Inke and Paper。
So; set it down and leave me to my selfe。
O would to God this quill that heere doth write;
She writes。
Had late been plucks from out faire Cupids wing:
That it might print these lines within his heart。
Enter the Guise。
GUISE。 What; all alone my love; and writing too:
I prethee say to whome thou writes?
DUCHESSE。 To such a one ; as when she reads my lines;
Will laugh I feare me at their good aray。
GUISE。 I pray thee let me see。
DUCHESSE。 O no my Lord; a woman only must
Partake the secrets of my heart。
GUISE。 But Madam I must see。
He takes it。
Are these your secrets that no man must know?
DUCHESSE。 O pardon me my Lord。
GUISE。 Thou trothles and unjust; what lines are these?
Am I growne olde; or is thy lust growne yong;
Or hath my love been so obscurde in thee;
That others need to comment on my text?
Is all my love forgot which helde thee deare?
I; dearer then the apple of mine eye?
Is Guises glory but a clowdy mist;
In sight and judgement of thy lustfull eye?
Mor du; were not the fruit within thy wombe;
On whose encrease I set some longing hope:
This wrathfull hand should strike thee to the hart
Hence strumpet; hide thy head for shame;
And fly my presence if thou look'st to live。
Exit 'Duchesse'。
O wicked sexe; perjured and unjust;
Now doe I see that from the very first;
Her eyes and lookes sow'd seeds of perjury;
But villaine he to whom these lines should goe;
Shall buy her love even with his dearest bloud。
Exit。
