ACT III.
SCENE I. _Florence. The_ DUKE'S _palace._
_Flourish. Enter the_ DUKE _of Florence, attended; the two Frenchmen
with a troop of soldiers._
_Duke._ So that from point to point now have you heard
The fundamental reasons of this war.
Whose great decision hath much blood lot forth
And more thirsts after.
_First Lord._ Holy seems the quarrel
Upon your Grace's part; black and fearful 5
On the opposer.
_Duke._ Therefore we marvel much our cousin France
Would in so just a business shut his bosom
Against our borrowing prayers.
_Sec. Lord._ Good my lord,
The reasons of our state I cannot yield, 10
But like a common and an outward man,
That the great figure of a council frames
By self-unable motion: therefore dare not
Say what I think of it, since I have found
Myself in my incertain grounds to fail 15
As often as I guess'd.
_Duke._ Be it his pleasure.
_First Lord._ But I am sure the younger of our nature,
That surfeit on their ease, will day by day
Come here for physic.
_Duke._ Welcome shall they be;
And all the honours that can fly from us 20
Shall on them settle. You know your places well;
When better fall, for your avails they fell:
To-morrow to the field. [_Flourish. Exeunt._
