Leave of imbracments till some other time, The king is come to Bristol, newly landed, Come as we go along I'll tell Thee all, Things wonderful that yet thou dreamest not off. Sentloe is dead, my masters bloody death, should quicken justice in your majesty. Had not my wit prevented this before, Nor you nor she, had never sorrowed more. Pronounce not sentence yet, right royal king. A stay to straighten justice and the truth, My conscience charged with this heinous crime, Makes me con esse though to my hearts true grief, That by thinticements of lewd Florence and her guists, I should have murdered Sentlo, my dear master, I therefore think that through her wickedness She is the cause of all these villainies. The wretch my Lord that never did offend, Fears not to die, I charge Thee Florence Of my masters death: Moreover, I charge Thee That with this purse of massy gold Thou didst bribe me, To murder Sentloe, Sentlo that is dead. Let Vallenger be asked what purse this is, Look on it Ladies, mark it, for you know it. Lewd is her life my Lord, and loose her tongue. No act is proved in me right royal king. My faults is in consealment, not attempt. I gentle Sentloe, and thy sell e shall see, The deference betwixt lust, and chastity The Like say I, to thee that now hath tried, A friends firm faith, that nothing can divide.
Plot summary
Plot — The Fair Maid of Bristol
Chaloner, who expects to marry Sir Godfrey Umphreville’s daughter Annabel, takes his friend Vallenger to Sir Godfrey’s birthday party. Vallenger falls for Annabel himself, and a violent quarrel with Chaloner ensues; Vallenger is wounded, and Chaloner is disgraced in Sir Godfrey’s eyes. Annabel needs little persuasion to transfer her affections to Vallenger, and they become engaged. On hearing this, Chaloner returns to Bristol from London, disguised as an Italian doctor.

To demonstrate his friendship, Herbert follows the couple to Bristol and, taking the alias Blunt, gets himself hired as a servant by Sentloe. They attend Vallenger’s wedding, and, despite the occasion, Vallenger is smitten with Florence, and asks the Italian doctor to poison Sentloe and Annabel.

Outraged by his behaviour, Vallenger’s father turns him out, but Florence refuses to take him in. Blunt tells her that Sentloe is dead - too late, as Vallenger is no longer an eligible suitor, and Florence wishes the murder undone.

The despairing Vallenger sees the accusation as a good way of committing suicide, and makes a false confession. Blunt pretends Sentloe is an old friend and claims his body for burial. ===== PAGE 72 ===== The King arrives at Bristol, and hears Vallenger’s case.
