t? Is't not enough, thou Traytour, To my poore Girles dishonour to abuse her, But thou canst yett putt on a divells visour To face thy fact & glory in her woe? _Hen_. I would I were acquainted with your honours meaning all this while. _Fer_. The forreine Enemy which came to the Citty And twice dancd on the Sea before it, waving Flaggs of defyance & of fury to it, Were nor before nor now this second time So cruell as thou. For when they first were here Now well nigh 40 yeares since, & marched through The very heart of this place, trampled on The bosomes of our stoutest soldiers, The weomen yet were safe, Ladyes were free And that by the especial command Of the then noble Generall: & now being safe From common danger of our enemyes, Thou lyon-like hast broake in on a Lambe And preyd upon her. _Hen_. How have I preyd? _Fer_. Dost thou delight To heare it named, villaine, th'hast ravisht her. _Hen_. I am enough abusd, & now 'tis time To speake a litle for my selfe, my Lord.

And instantly I will away to _Sherrys_, There to appeale to the high Court of Justice: 'Tis time, I thinke, such slanderous accusations Assayling me; but there I shalbe righted. _Fer_. You shall not need to doubt it:--come, _Eleonora_. [_Exeunt_.[30] _Hen_. What will become of me in this, I know not: I have a shrewd guese though of the worst. Would one have thought the foolish ape would putt The finger in the eye & tell it daddy! 'Tis a rare guift 'mong many maides of these dayes; If she speed well she'le bring it to a Custome, Make her example followed to the spoyle Of much good sport: but I meane to looke to't. Now, sir, your newes? _Enter Buzzano_. _Buz_. The most delicious, rare, absolut
