Should cross my way. O jealousy of love!
Greater than fame! thou eldest of the passions, Or rather all in one, I here invoke thee, Where'er thou'rt throned in air, in earth, or hell, Wing me to my revenge, to blood, and ruin! _Card._ Have you no temper? _Gui._ Pray, sir, give me leave.

[_Exeunt._ SCENE II. _Enter King and Council._ [_Shouts without._ _King._ What mean these shouts? _Abb._ I told your majesty, The sheriffs have puffed the populace with hopes Of their deliverer. [_Shouts again._ |
