The Fatal Dowry
vndertaking—Heaven! you weepe:

And I could do so too, but that I know,

Theres more expected from the sonne and friend

Of him, whose fatall losse now shakes our natures,

Then sighs, or teares, (in which a village nurse [185]

Or cunning strumpet, when her knaue is hangd,

May ouercome vs.) We are men (young Lord)

Let vs not do like women. To the Court,

And there speake like your birth: wake sleeping justice,

Or dare the Axe. This is a way will sort [190]

With what you are. I call you not to that

I will shrinke from my selfe, I will deserue

Your thankes, or suffer with you—O how bravely

That sudden fire of anger shewes in you!

Give fuell to it, since you are on a shelfe, [195]

Of extreme danger suffer like your selfe.      

[SCENE II]

Du Croye. Your Lordship’s seated. May this meeting proue prosperous to vs, and to the generall good Of Burgundy. 

Your Lordship’s seated. May this meeting proue prosperous to vs, and to the generall good
