Perhaps, 'twas for your going; yet I swear,
I never was so moved, O Guise, as now, Just as you entered, when from yonder window I saw the king. _Gui._ Woman, all over woman! [_Aside._ The world confesses, madam, Henry's form Is noble and majestic. _Mar._ O you grudge The extorted praise, and speak him but by halves. _Gui._ Priest, Corso, devils! how she carries it! _Mar._ I see, my lord, you're come to take your leave; And were it not to give the court suspicion, I would oblige you, sir, before you go, To lead me to the king. _Gui._ Death and the devil! _Mar._ But since that cannot be, I'll take my leave Of you, my lord; heaven grant your journey safe! Farewell, once more. [_Offers her hand._] Not stir! does this become you,-- Does your ambition swell into your eyes?-- Jealousy by this light; nay then, proud Guise, I tell you, you're not worthy of the grace; But I will carry't, sir, to those that are, And leave you to the curse of bosom-war. [_Exit._ |
