  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。

  times。

  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
  27

  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。

  'SceneXIV'
  Enter   the   King   of   Navarre;   Pleshe and   Bartus;   and their   train;   with
  drums and trumpets。
  NAVARRE。         Now     Lords;   since   in   a  quarrell   just  and    right;  We
  undertake to mannage these our warres Against the proud disturbers of the
  faith;   I  meane     the  Guise;    the  Pope;    and   King    of  Spaine;    Who     set
  themselves   to   tread   us   under   foot; And   rend   our   true   religion   from   this
  land: But for you know our quarrell is no more; But to defend their strange
  inventions; Which they will put us to with sword and fire: We must with
  resolute minces resolve to fight; In honor of our God and countries good。
  Spaine is the counsell chamber of the pope; Spaine is the place where he
  makes peace and warre; And Guise for Spaine hath now incenst the King;
  To send his power to meet us in the field。
