_Nightingale and Thorn_ (Vol. iv., pp. 175.242.).--
"_Edw._ Lorrain, behold the sharpness of this steel:
[_Drawing his sword._]
Fervent desire, that sits against my heart,
Is far more thorny-pricking than this blade;
That, like the nightingale, I shall be scar'd,
As oft as I dispose myself to rest,
Until my colours be disploy'd in France:
This is my final answer, so be gone."
_Edward III._, a Play, thought to be writ by Shakspeare,
Act I. Sc. 1.
Of the two editions of _The Raigne of King Edward the Third_, consulted
by Capell before publishing the play in his _Prolusions_, the first was
printed in 1596, the second in 1599.
