King.I ask no rede of you. I ken my friends.
Holy are they, full ready me to hele.
Their volundès are dead to selfish ends,
No denwere in my breast I of them feel.
I must to prayers; go in, and you do well;
I must not lose the duty of the day;
Go in, go in, and view the azure rele,
Full well I wot you have no mind to pray.
101
I leave you to do homage heaven-were;
To serve your liege-folk too, is doing homage there.
[Exit Queen.
