ELE. Keep there--good, there; yet, for it wounds my soul To see the miserablest wretch to bleed, I counsel you, in care unto your lives, T' obey the mother-queen; for by my life, I think she has been prick'd [in] her conscience. O, it has stung her for some fact misdone, She would not else disgrace herself and son. Do't therefore; hark! she'll work your deaths else, hate Bred in woman is insatiate. Do't, friars. CRAB. Brother Cole, zeal sets me in a flame: I'll do't. COLE. And I: his baseness we'll proclaim. [_Exeunt_ FRIARS. ELE. Do, and be damn'd; Zarack and Balthazar, Dog them at the heels; and when their poisonous breath Hath scatter'd this infection on the hearts Of credulous Spaniards, here reward them thus: [_Points to his sword._ Slaves too much trusted do grow dangerous. Why this shall feed and fat suspicion And my policy. I'll ring through all the court this loud alarum, That they contriv'd the murder of the king, The queen, and me; and, being undermin'd, To 'scape the blowing up, they fled. O, good! There, there, thou there, cry treason; each one take A several door; your cries my music make. BAL. Where is the king? treason pursues him. _Enter_ ALVERO _in his shirt, his sword drawn_. ELE. Where is the sleeping queen? Rise, rise, and arm against the hand of treason. ALV. Whence comes this sound of treason? _Enter the_ KING _in his shirt, his sword drawn_. KING. Who frights our quiet slumbers with This heavy noise? _Enter_ QUEEN _in her night attire_. QUEEN-M. Was it a dream, or did the sound Of monster treason call me from my rest? KING. Who rais'd this rumour? Eleazar, you? ELE. I did, my liege, and still continue it, Both for your safety and mine own discharge. KING. Whence comes the ground then? ELE. From the cardinal And the young prince who, bearing in his mind The true idea of his late disgrace In putting him from the protectorship, And envying the advancement of the Moor, Determined this night to murder you; And for your highness lodged within my castle, They would have laid the murder on my head. KING. The cardinal and my brother! bring them forth: Their lives shall answer this ambitious practice. ELE. Alas! my lord, it is impossible; For when they saw I had discovered them, They train'd two harmless friars to their lodgings, Disrob'd them, gagg'd them, bound them to two posts, And in their habits did escape the castle. KING. The cardinal is all ambition, And from him doth our brother gather heart. QUEEN-M. Th' ambition of the one infects the other, And, in a word, they both are dangerous: But might your mother's counsel stand in force, I would advise you, send the trusty Moor To fetch them back, before they have seduc'd The squint-ey'd multitude from true allegiance, And drawn them to their dangerous faction.
