Madam, farewell;
I pray God keep you in such patient heart. [Exit.] QUEEN. Let him come now. MARY SEYTON. Madam, he is at hand. [Exit.] [Enter CHASTELARD.] QUEEN. Give me that broidery frame; how, gone so soon? No maid about? Reach me some skein of silk. What, are you come, fair lord? Now by my life That lives here idle, I am right glad of you; I have slept so well and sweet since yesternight It seems our dancing put me in glad heart. Did you sleep well? CHASTELARD. Yea, as a man may sleep. QUEEN. You smile as if I jested; do not men Sleep as we do? Had you fair dreams in the night? |
