Scena. 2.

Enter a Messenger from the King.
I haue at length (though weery come in troth)
Obtaynd a sight of Iulios stately walles,
A Kings message, can not be done with sloth:
Whome he bids goe, must runne through myre and dyrt,
And I am sent, to Lord Promos in post,
To tel him that the king wyll see him strayght,
But much I feare that Promos needes not bost:
Of any gayne by his soueraygnes receyte,


But Holla tongue of lauysh speeche beware,
Though subiects oft in Princes meaning prye,
They must their words, and not their myndes declare,
Unto which course I wyll my tongue apply,
Lord Promos shall my princes comming know,
My prince himselfe, the cause thereof shall show.

Exit.
