_Fall_. This care of thine, my sonne, doth testifie,
Nature in thee hath firme predominance, That neither losse of friend, nor vile reproch, Can shake thee with their strongest violence: In this disguise, ile see the end of thee, That thou, acquited, then maist succour me. _Allen_. I am assur'd to be exempt from woe:-- This plot will worke my certaine overthrowe. [_(To the) People_. _Fall_. I will beare hence thy mother, and my wife, Untimely murthered with true sorrowes knife. [_Exit_. _Allen_. Untimely murthered! happy was that griefe, Which hath abridg'd whole numbers numberlesse Of hart-surcharging deplorations. She shall have due and Christian funerall, And rest in peace amongst her auncestors. As for our bodies, they shall be inter'd, In ravening mawes, of Ravens, Puttockes, Crowes, Of tatlin[g] Magpies, and deathes harbingers, That wilbe glutted with winde-shaken limmes Of blood-delighting hatefull murtherers. And yet these many winged sepulchers, Shall turne to earth, so I and father shall, At last attaine to earth by funerall. Well I will prosecute my pollicy, That wished death may end my miseries. [_Exit_. |
