SCEANE. II.
Enter sir Doncaster, Prior.Don.
You were resolued to haue him poysoned,
Or kild, or made away, you car'd not how.
What diuell makes you doubtfull now to doo't?
Pri.
Why Doncaster? his kindnesse in our needes.
Don.
A plague vpon his kindnesse, let him die.
I neuer temperd poyson in my life, but I imployd it.
By th'masse and I loose this,
For euer looke to loose my company.
Pri.
But will you giue it him?
Don.
That cannot bee.
The Queene, Earle Chester, and Earle Salsbury,
If they once see mee, I am a deade man:
They all would hunt me, for my life.
Pri.
What hast thou done to them?
Don.
Faith, some odde toyes,
That made me fly the south: but passe wee them:
Here is the poyson: will you giue it Robin?
Pri.
Now by this gold I will.
Don.
Or as I said, for euer I defie your company.
Pri.
Well, he shall die, and in his iollity:
And in my head I haue a policy
To make him die disgrac't.
Don.
O tell it Prior.
Pri.
I will, but not as now:
Call the Frier within.
Weele seeke a place, the wods haue many eares,
And some me thinkes are calling for the Frier.
Exeunt.
