Your Eminence comes late.
Enter two Cardinals, Counsellors, the Cardinal of Guise, Archbishop of Lyons, last the Guise.

Well, Colonel, Are we Friends?
Grill.
Faith, I think not.

Give me your Hand.

Yet we shall clasp in Heaven.

By Heaven we shall not,
Unless it be with Gripes.
Guise.
True Grillon still.
Larch.
My Lord.
Guise.
Ha Captain, you are well attended,
If I mistake not, Sir, your Number's doubl'd.
Larch.
All these have serv'd against the Hereticks,
And therefore beg your Grace you would remember
Their VVounds, and lost Arrears.
Guise.
It shall be done.
Agen my heart, there is a weight upon thee,
But I will sigh it off, Captain Farewell.

Shut the Hall-door, and bar the Castle-Gates:
