Enter Gentleman.

Gentleman

Gent. My lord, the Lady Nottingham desires,

With much impatience, to attend your lordship.

Bur. What may the purport of her business be?

Her tender wishes are to Essex tied

In love's soft fetters, and endearing bands.—

Conduct her in.

[Exit Gentleman.

Gentleman

And you, my Raleigh, watch Southampton's steps;

With care observe each movement of his friends;

That no advantage on that side be lost.—

[Exit Raleigh.

Raleigh

Southampton's Essex' second self;

His daring heart, and bold, ungovern'd tongue,

Are both enlisted in the rash designs

Of this proud lord, nor knows a will but his:

A limb so fix'd, must with the body fall.
