You villains twain, with raging force Ye set my heart on fire: If I consent that she shall die, How dare ye crave her life? You two to ask this at my hand Doth much enlarge my strife; Were it not for shame, you two should die, That for her life do sue: But favour mine from you is gone, My lords, I tell you true. I sent for Cruelty of late; If he would come away, I would commit her to his hands His cruel part to play. Even now I see where he doth come, It doth my heart delight. _Enter_ CRUELTY _and_ MURDER. CRUELTY. Come, Murder, come; let us go forth with might; Once again the king’s commandment we must fulfil. MURDER. I am contented to do it with a good will. KING. Murder and Cruelty, for both of you I sent, With all festination your offices to frequent: Lay hold on the queen, take her to your power, And make her away within this hour; Spare for no fear, I do you full permit: So I from this place do mean for to flit. BOTH. With courageous hearts, O king, we will obey. KING. Then come, my lords, let us depart away. BOTH THE LORDS. With heavy hearts we will do all your grace doth say. [_Exeunt_ KING _and_ LORDS. CRUELTY. Come, lady and queen, now are you in our handling: In faith, with you we will use no dandling: MURDER. With all expedition, I Murder will take place, Though thou be a queen, ye be under my grace. QUEEN. With patience I will you both obey. CRUELTY. No more words, but go with us away. QUEEN. Yet, before I die, some psalm to God let me sing. BOTH. We be content to permit you that thing. QUEEN. Farewell, you ladies of the court, With all your masking hue: I do forsake these broder’d guards, And all the fashions new, The court and all the courtly train, Wherein I had delight; I banished am from happy sport, And all by spiteful spite. Yet with a joyful heart to God A psalm I mean to sing, Forgiving all, and the king, Of each kind of thing. [_Sing and Exeunt._ _Enter_ AMBIDEXTER _weeping_. AMBIDEXTER.
