That is no paine; death is a welcome guest
To those whose hearts are overwhelm'd with griefe. My woes are done, I having leave to die And after death live ever joyfullie. [_Exit_. _Enter Murther and Covetousnesse_. _Mur_. Now, _Avarice_, I have well satisfied My hungrie thoughtes with blood and crueltie; Now all my melanchollie discontent Is shaken off, and I am throughlie pleas'd, With what thy pollicie hath brought to passe. Yet am I not so throughlie satisfied Untill I bring the purple actors forth. And cause them quaffe a bowle of bitternesse, That father sonne, and sister brother may Bring to their deathes with most assur'd decay. _Ava_. That wilbe done without all question, For thou hast slaine _Allenso_ with the boy, And _Rachell_ doth not wish to overlive The sad remembrance of her brothers sinne. Leave faithfull love to teach them how to dye, That they may share their kinsfolkes miserie. [_Exeunt_. |
