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。
