bold in constance'
KING EDWARD。 In constance� �than who�拭�
LODOWICK。 'Than Judith was。'
KING EDWARD。 O monstrous line��Put in the next a sword�察�And I
shall woo her to cut of my head。 Blot�察�blot�察�good Lodowick��Let us hear the
next。
LODOWICK。 There's all that yet is done。
KING EDWARD。 I thank thee then�察�thou hast done little ill�察�But what
is done�察�is passing�察�passing ill。 No�察�let the Captain talk of boisterous war�察�
The prisoner of emured dark constraint�察�The sick man best sets down the
pangs of death�察�The man that starves the sweetness of a feast�察�The frozen
soul the benefit of fire�察�And every grief his happy opposite�此�Love cannot
sound well but in lover's tongues�察�Give me the pen and paper�察�I will write。
��Enter Countess。�А�
But soft�察 �here comes the treasurer of my spirit。 Lodowick�察 �thou
knowst not how to draw a battle�察�These wings�察�these flankers�察�and these

squadrons Argue in thee defective discipline�此�Thou shouldest have placed
this here�察�this other here。
COUNTESS。 Pardon my boldness�察�my thrice gracious Lords�察�Let my
intrusion here be called my duty�察�That comes to see my sovereign how he
fares。
KING EDWARD。 Go�察�draw the same�察�I tell thee in what form。
LODOWICK。 I go。
��Exit Lodowick。�А�
COUNTESS。 Sorry I am to see my liege so sad�此�What may thy subject
do to drive from thee Thy gloomy consort�察�sullome melancholy�拭�
KING EDWARD。 Ah�察�Lady�察�I am blunt and cannot straw The flowers
of solace in a ground of shame�此 �Since I came hither�察 �Countess�察 �I am
wronged。
COUNTESS。 Now God forbid that any in my house Should think my
sovereign wrong��Thrice gentle King�察 �Acquaint me with your cause of
discontent。
KING EDWARD。 How near then shall I be to remedy�拭�
COUNTESS。 As near�察�my Liege�察�as all my woman's power Can pawn
it self to buy thy remedy。
KING EDWARD。 If thou speakst true�察�then have I my redress�此�Engage
thy power to redeem my Joys�察�And I am joyful�察�Countess�察�else I die。
COUNTESS。 I will�察�my Liege。
KING EDWARD。 Swear�察�Countess�察�that thou wilt。
COUNTESS。 By heaven�察�I will。
KING EDWARD。 Then take thy self a little way a side�察�And tell thy
self�察 �a King doth dote on thee�察 �Say that within thy power it doth lie To
make him happy�察�and that thou hast sworn To give him all the Joy within
thy power�此�Do this�察�and tell me when I shall be happy。
COUNTESS。 All this is done�察�my thrice dread sovereign�此�That power
of love�察�that I have power to give�察�Thou hast with all devout obedience�察�
Employ me how thou wilt in proof thereof。
KING EDWARD。 Thou hearst me say that I do dote on thee。
COUNTESS。 If on my beauty�察�take it if thou canst�察�Though little�察�I do
prize it ten times less�察�If on my virtue�察�take it if thou canst�察�For virtue's

store by giving doth augment�察�Be it on what it will�察�that I can give And
thou canst take away�察�inherit it。
KING EDWARD。 It is thy beauty that I would enjoy。
COUNTESS。 O�察�were it painted�察�I would wipe it off And dispossess
my self�察�to give it thee。 But�察�sovereign�察�it is soldered to my life�此�Take one
and both�察 �for�察 �like an humble shadow�察 �It haunts the sunshine of my
summer's life。
KING EDWARD。 But thou maist lend it me to sport with all。
COUNTESS。 As easy may my intellectual soul Be lent away�察�and yet
my body live�察�As lend my body�察�palace to my soul�察�Away from her�察�and yet
retain my soul。 My body is her bower�察�her Court�察�her abbey�察�And she an
Angel�察�pure�察�divine�察�unspotted�此 �If I should leave her house�察 �my Lord�察 �to
thee�察�I kill my poor soul and my poor soul me。
KING EDWARD。 Didst thou not swear to give me what I would�拭�
COUNTESS。 I did�察�my liege�察�so what you would I could。
KING EDWARD。 I wish no more of thee than thou maist give�此�Nor
beg I do not�察�but I rather buy That is�察�thy love�察�and for that love of thine
In rich exchange I tender to thee mine。
COUNTESS。 But that your lips were sacred�察 �my Lord�察 �You would
profane the holy name of love。 That love you offer me you cannot give�察�
For Caesar owes that tribute to his Queen�察 �That love you beg of me I
cannot give�察 �For Sara owes that duty to her Lord。 He that doth clip or
counterfeit your stamp Shall die�察 �my Lord�察 �and will your sacred self
Commit high treason against the King of heaven�察�To stamp his Image in
forbidden metal�察 �Forgetting your allegiance and your oath�拭 �In violating
marriage sacred law�察�You break a greater honor than your self�此 �To be a
King is of a younger house Than to be married�察 �your progenitour�察 �Sole
reigning Adam on the universe�察�By God was honored for a married man�察�
But not by him anointed for a king。 It is a penalty to break your statutes�察�
Though not enacted with your highness' hand�此 �How much more�察 �to
infringe the holy act�察�Made by the mouth of God�察�sealed with his hand�拭�I
know�察�my sovereign�察�in my husband's love�察�Who now doth loyal service in
his wars�察 �Doth but so try the wife of Salisbury�察�Whither she will hear a
wanton's tale or no�察�Lest being therein guilty by my stay�察 �From that�察�not

from my liege�察�I turn away。
��Exit。�А�
KING EDWARD。 Whether is her beauty by her words dying�察�Or are
her words sweet chaplains to her beauty�拭�Like as the wind doth beautify a
sail�察�And as a sail becomes the unseen wind�察�So do her words her beauties�察�
beauties words。 O�察�that I were a honey gathering bee�察�To bear the comb of
virtue from this flower�察�And not a poison sucking envious spider�察�To turn
the juice I take to deadly venom� �Religion is austere and beauty gentle�察�
Too strict a guardian for so fair a ward� �O�察�that she were�察�as is the air�察�to
me� �Why�察�so she is�察�for when I would embrace her�察�This do I�察�and catch
nothing but my self。 I must enjoy her�察�for I cannot beat With reason and
reproof fond love a way。
��Enter Warwick。�А�
Here comes her father��I will work with him�察�To bear my colours in this
field of love。
WARWICK。 How is it that my sovereign is so sad�拭�May I with pardon
know your highness grief�察�And that my old endeavor will remove it�察 �It
shall not cumber long your majesty。
KING EDWARD。 A kind and voluntary gift thou proferest�察�That I was
forward to have begged of thee。 But�察�O thou world�察�great nurse of flattery�察�
Why dost thou tip men's tongues with golden words�察�And peise their deeds
with weight of heavy lead�察�That fair performance cannot follow promise�拭�
O�察 �that a man might hold the heart's close book And choke the lavish
tongue�察�when it doth utter The breath of falsehood not charactered there� �
WARWICK。 Far be it from the honor of my age�察�That I should owe
bright gold and render lead�察�Age is a cynic�察�not a flatterer。 I say again�察�that
if I knew your grief�察�And that by me it may be lessened�察�My proper harm
should buy your highness good。
KING EDWARD。 These are the vulgar tenders of false men�察 �That
never pay the duty of their words。 Thou wilt not stick to swear what thou
hast said�察 �But�察 �when thou knowest my grief's condition�察 �This rash
disgorged vomit of thy word Thou wilt eat up again�察 �and leave me
helpless。
WARWICK。 By heaven�察�I will not�察�though your majesty Did bid me
20

run upon your sword and die。
KING EDWARD。 Say that my grief is no way medicinable But by the
loss and bruising of thine honour。
WARWICK。 If nothing but that loss may vantage you�察 �I would
accompt that loss my vantage too。
KING EDWARD。 Thinkst that thou canst unswear thy oath again�拭�
WARWICK。 I cannot�察�nor I would not�察�if I could。
KING EDWARD。 But�察�if thou dost�察�what shall I say to thee�拭�
WARWICK。 What may be said to any perjured villain�察�That breaks the
sacred warrant of an oath。
KING EDWARD。 What wilt thou say to one that breaks an oath�拭�
WARWICK。 That he hath broke his faith with God and man�察�And from
them both stands excommunicate。
KING EDWARD。 What office were it�察 �to suggest a man To break a
lawful and religious vow�拭�
WARWICK。 An office for the devil�察�not for man。
KING EDWARD。 That devil's office must thou do for me�察�Or break
thy oath�察�or cancel all the bonds Of love and duty twixt thy self and me�察�
And therefore�察�Warwick�察�if thou art thy self�察�The Lord and master of thy
word and oath�察�Go to thy daughter�察�and in my behalf Command her�察�woo
her�察�win her any ways�察�To be my mistress and my secret love。 I will not
stand to hear thee make reply�此�Thy oath break hers�察�or let thy sovereign
die。
��Exit。�А�
WARWICK。 O doting King��O detestable office� �Well may I tempt my
self to wrong my self�察�When he hath sworn me by the name of God To
break a vow made by the name of God。 What�察�if I swear by this right hand
of mine To cut this right hand off��The better way Were to profane the Idol
than confound it�此 �But neither will I do�察 �I'll keep mine oath�察�And
