WINCHESTER

Good morrow Lords, attend the Queen into the pre sense. And reason fellow. Madam, here is a large recital & upbraiding of your highness Sovereignty, the Suffolk men that lifted you to the throne, and here possessed you, claim your promise you made them about re ligion. May't please your highness note the Commons insolence They tie you to conditions, and set limits to your liking. Away with him, it shall be thoroughly scanned, And you upon the pillory, three days to stand. Exit Dodds. And well remembered, is't not probable, That she in Wiats expedition, And other insurrection lately queald Was a confederate; if your highness will your own estate preserve, You must foresee fore-danger, and cut off all such As would your safety prejudice. Do not you hear, with what a saucy impudence, This Sentlo here presumest. Twilbe a means to keep the rest in awe, Making their sovereigns brow, to them a law. Young Courtney Earl of Devonshire, Seems chiefly to affect her faction. Madam, we from the Queen are joined They fit, she kneels. in full commission. Madam, perhaps you censure hardly. That was inforced in this commission. Madam I would you would submit, unto her highness. Come Madam, answer briefly to these treasons. Then Madam you'll not submit. You are stubborn, come lets certify the Queen. It is the pleasure of her majesty, That you be straight committed to the Tower. Moreover all your household servants we have dis charged, Except this gentleman your usher & this gentlewoman Thus did the Queen command, And for your guard, a hundred Northern whitecotes, Are appointed to conduct you thither, To night unto your chamber, to morrow early prepare You for the Tower, your barge stands ready, To conduct you thither. she kneels. My Lord, you know it is in vain, For the Queens sentence is definitive, And we must see't performed. Did you not mark what a piteous eye she cast To the Queen's window as she passed a long, Fain she would have stayed, but that I caused The bargmen to make hast and row away. Well she hath escaped that danger, Would she but conform her self in her opinion, She only might rely upon my love, To win her to the favour of the Queen. Here comes the Constable of the tower, This is your charge. Madam the Queen out of her royal bounty, Hath freed you from the thraldom of the tower, And now this gentleman must be your gardyan. I thank her: she hath rid me of a Tyrant, Is he appointed now to be my keeper? What is he Lords? I know your business, and your hast shall stay, As you were speaking my Lord Constable. Fellow what then: This warrant that concerns The Princess death, shuffle amongst the rest, He'll never peru'st. Stand ready pursuivant, Exit Gresham. That when 'tis signed, Thou mayest be gone, and gallop with the wind. O chance accursed, how came he by this notice? Her life is guarded by the hand of heaven, And we in vain pursue it. O, I am sick. Where yours and all good subjects else should lie, Near at the heart, this confirmation I do greatly dread, For now our true religion will decay, I do divine who ever lives seven year, Shall see no Religion here but heresy. No, no my Lords, this peace is natural, This combination is without deceit, But I will once more write to incense the Queen, The plot is laid, thus it shall be performed: Sir Harry, you shall go attach her sevant Upon suspicion, of some treachery, Wherein the Princess shall be accessary, If this do fail, my policy is down, But I grow faint, the fever steals on me, Death Like a vulture tires upon my heart, I'll leave you two to prosecute this drift, My bones to earth I give, to heaven my soul lift. Great are the causes, now too long to say, Why she my Sovereign should be kept away.
