_Bus_. Suche as can come from sorrowe: he is all
Wretchednes and mysfortune, and in me Speaks to your sacred goodnes to be pleasd Voutsafe to call your fayre dove to your fyst (Mercye I meane) that may abate the stroake Of your sharpe eagle justyce, and you will Be wrytt the best of prynces. _Char_. Come, no more: Your fathers sentence is irrevocable. _Bus_. Yet, gratyous Sir, sende hym hys honors backe And for those fewe pore howers he hathe to breathe Let hym injoy those deare companyons. _Char_. You are the good sonne of an evyll man And I comend your vertue, but thys suyte Is past all restytution: to thys prynce I've given all your father governed. _Rich_. Which, royall sir? _Char_. Cossen, no more; I know your modesty. ... ... ... your languadge; hees my foe That next solycytts me for _Ganelon_. _Bus_. O doe not make me, sir, be impyous, For shoulde your breathe crushe me to attomyes, Yet whylst my memorye can call hym father I must invocke you for hym. |
