An. Now I pray God, Amen

Cham. You beare a gentle minde, & heau'nly blessings

Follow such Creatures. That you may, faire Lady

Perceiue I speake sincerely, and high notes

Tane of your many vertues; the Kings Maiesty

Commends his good opinion of you, to you; and

Doe's purpose honour to you no lesse flowing,

Then Marchionesse of Pembrooke; to which Title,

A Thousand pound a yeare, Annuall support,

Out of his Grace, he addes

An. I doe not know

What kinde of my obedience, I should tender;

More then my All, is Nothing: Nor my Prayers

Are not words duely hallowed; nor my Wishes

More worth, then empty vanities: yet Prayers & Wishes

Are all I can returne. 'Beseech your Lordship,

Vouchsafe to speake my thankes, and my obedience,

As from a blushing Handmaid, to his Highnesse;

Whose health and Royalty I pray for

Cham. Lady;

I shall not faile t' approue the faire conceit

The King hath of you. I haue perus'd her well,

Beauty and Honour in her are so mingled,

That they haue caught the King: and who knowes yet

But from this Lady, may proceed a Iemme,

To lighten all this Ile. I'le to the King,

And say I spoke with you.

Exit Lord Chamberlaine.
