And nothing but your stay shall hinder me;
For now, methinks, I long for't. _Gui._ Possible! _Mar._ I'll give you yet a little time to think; But, if I hear you go to take your leave, I'll meet you there; before the throne I'll stand,-- Nay you shall see me kneel and kiss his hand. [_Exit._ _Gui._ Furies and hell! She does but try me,--Ha! This is the mother-queen, and Espernon, Abbot Delbene, Alphonso Corso too, All packed to plot, and turn me into madness. [_Reading the Letter._ _Enter Cardinal_ GUISE, _Duke Of_ MAYENNE, MALICORN, _&c._ Ha! can it be! "Madam, the king loves you."-- [_Reads._ But vengeance I will have; to pieces, thus, To pieces with them all. [_Tears the Letter._ _Card._ Speak lower. _Gui._ No; By all the torments of this galling passion, I'll hollow the revenge I vow, so loud, My father's ghost shall hear me up to heaven. _Card._ Contain yourself; this outrage will undo us. |
