And you shall be my sole Executor.
_Fall_. Brother and sister, how my hart laments To see your weake and sicke afflicted limmes Neere overcome with dyrefull malladies, The God of heaven can truly testifie,-- Which, to speake plaine, is nere a whit at all-- [_To the people_. Which knowes the secret corners of my heart; But for the care you do impose on me, For the tuition of your little sonne, Thinke, my kinde brother, I will meditate, Both day and night, how I may best fulfill, The care and trust, reposed in your Will,-- And see him posted quickly after you. [_To the people_. _Arm_. Enough, kinde brother; we assure us so, Else would we seeke another friend abroade, To do our willes and dying Testament. Nature and love will have a double care To bring him up with carefull diligence, As best beseemes one of such parentage. _Fall_. Assure your selfe, the safest course I can, Shall be provided for your little sonne,-- He shall be sent unto the King of Heaven. [_To the people_. _Sostr_. Feare not, good brother, and my loving sister, But we will have as tender care of him As if he were our owne ten thousand times: |
