Sayfa 31 - God save the mark! And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth Was parmaceti for an inward bruise; And that it was great pity, so it was, That villanous saltpetre should be digg'd Out of the bowels of the harmless earth, Which many a good tall fellow had destroy'd So cowardly ; and but for these vile guns He would himself have been a soldier.

But mark me as you prize our high regard And favour, I command you to suppress it: Let not our name and power be embarrass'd In your perplexing schemes. 'Twas you began, And therefore you must end it. Bur. I obey. Yet humbly would intreat you to consider How new, unpopular, this step must be, To stand between your parliament's inquiry And this offending lord. —...
Sayfa 35 - Enter LADY NOTTINGHAM. Not. Lieutenant, lead me to the Earl of Essex, I bring a message to him from the queen. Lieut. He's with his friend, the brave Southampton, madam, Preparing now for his expected fate. But I'll acquaint his lordship with your pleasure.
Sayfa 11 - Reserve your proofs to a more proper season, And let them then appear. But once again We charge you, on your duty and allegiance, To stop this vile proceeding ; and to wait Till Essex can defend himself in person. If then your accusations are of force, The laws, and my consent, no doubt are open. He has my strict command, with menace mix'd, To end effectually this hated war, Ere he presume to quit the Irish coast. Bur. Madam, my duty now compels me to— Queen.
Sayfa 2 - This very hour, my lord : Nay more, a person comes, of high distinction, To prove some secret treaties made by Essex, With Scotland's monarch, and the proud Tyrone. Bur. How say'st ? to prove them ? Ral.
