_Man._ Let the duke Come to my house. What say you? _Hu._ What say you, Philip? They would not seek you there. _Ph._ If ’tis your wish. I would not bring you trouble. (_To Fer._) Ferdinand, These papers must be copied: take them straight Into your chamber. [_Exit Ferdinand._ _Hu._ ’Tis but truth, your grace, 190 We may be driven hence. The people’s cry Is _Sack and fire the palace_. _Mar._ See if Livio Have not gone pale! Now, Livio, if you think ’Tis safer at our house, for pity’s sake Spare your complexion and come back with us. _Liv._ No doubt that sleep were sweeter, and all things else Beneath thy roof, lady: and came there danger, That my sword might protect thee... _Mar._ The heavens shield us, When we be left to that. _Liv._ Didst thou not treat All men with like contempt, I were much wronged: But there’s none thou wilt praise. 201 _Mar._ Now, if I needed A man to look at, I would pass my time Searching for this Palicio. As for you, When you can lead the people, and cut your way Thro’ guards and prison walls, and get a price Set on your head ... I’ll marry you. _Man._ Come, sister, This goes too far. _Mar._ Why, no. Be generous. If I be wrong, what makes you ill at ease When this man’s free? Palicio is in prison, And all goes cheerfully; you sit to feast, 210 You have no care, a joke will raise a laugh. Palicio is escaped—hey! at that news What blackness reigns! Forgive me, friends; I see This man’s your master, and I like him for it. Bravery I love, and there’s no cause so poor It cannot justify. _Hu._ If we should take him, I’ll send him to you stuffed. _Mar._ Is that a speech One should forgive? _Man._ Enough. We take our leave. We pass by a private way, duke. _Ph._ I come with you. 219 Good-night. _All._ Good-night. [_Exeunt Philip, Manuel, and Margaret._ _Hu._ (_to Con._). And you to bed. _Con._ I pray there’s nought to fear? _Hu._ Nay, nay. Good-night, child; sleep you sound. _Con._ Dear father, Heaven keep you safe. Good-night. _Hu._ Fear not for me. [_Exit Constance._
