     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

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。

prize it ten times less�察�If on my virtue�察�take it if thou canst�察�For virtue's

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

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
