Lords] Captains Ff. SCENE III. _The Florentine camp._ _Enter the two French_ Lords _and some two or three_ Soldiers. _First Lord._ You have not given him his mother's letter? _Sec. Lord._ I have delivered it an hour since: there is something in't that stings his nature; for on the reading it he changed almost into another man. _First Lord._ He has much worthy blame laid upon him 5 for shaking off so good a wife and so sweet a lady. _Sec. Lord._ Especially he hath incurred the everlasting displeasure of the king, who had even tuned his bounty to sing happiness to him. I will tell you a thing, but you shall let it dwell darkly with you. 10 _First Lord._ When you have spoken it, 'tis dead, and I am the grave of it. _Sec. Lord._ He hath perverted a young gentlewoman here in Florence, of a most chaste renown; and this night he fleshes his will in the spoil of her honour: he hath given 15 her his monumental ring, and thinks himself made in the unchaste composition. _First Lord._ Now, God delay our rebellion! as we are ourselves, what things are we! _Sec. Lord._ Merely our own traitors. And as in the 20 common course of all treasons, we still see them reveal themselves, till they attain to their abhorred ends, so he that in this action contrives against his own nobility, in his proper stream o'erflows himself. _First Lord._ Is it not meant damnable in us, to be 25 trumpeters of our unlawful intents? We shall not then have his company to-night? _Sec. Lord._ Not till after midnight; for he is dieted to his hour. _First Lord._ That approaches apace: I would gladly 30 have him see his company anatomized, that he might take a measure of his own judgements, wherein so curiously he had set this counterfeit. _Sec. Lord._ We will not meddle with him till he come; for his presence must be the whip of the other. 35
