that they are slayne. _Clow_. O Lord, then let mee turne my selfe into a Ballad and mourne for them? _Kath_. Thou angrest me with jesting at my sorrow. Hence from my sight! my heart is full of griefe And it will breake, the burthen is so great. _Clow_. Goe from your sight? then let me goe out of your company, for I had as leeve leave your sight as your company. Is this my reward for watching and watching? Oh, Mistris, doe not kill mee with unkindnesse[137]: I shall, I shall-- _Kath_. What shall you? _Clow_. Weepe out mine eyes and fill the holes with salt water. _Kath_. I prythee leave me; I am not displeasd, But fayne would vent my sorrowe from my heart. Hold, take my purse, spend that and leave my presence. Goe everywhere; enquire my Pembrooke out, And if thou bringst me to his breathlesse truncke I will reward thee with a treble gift. _Clow_. Well, I were best bee going, now I am so fayrely offred. Mistris, your reward hath stopt my eares and entic'de my legs to be walking. Farewell, I will goe, God knows whither, to seeke and to finde both and neyther. Farewell, sweet Mistris. [_Exit_. _Kath_. O Pembrooke, let me kneele unto thy bloud: And yet I know not whether't be thy bloud, Save that my soule by a divine instinct Tells me it is the treasure of thy veynes. If thou beest dead, thou mirrour of all men, I vow to dye with thee: this field, this grove, Shall be my receptacle till my last; My pillow shall be made a banke of mosse, And what I drinke the silver brooke shall yeeld. No other campe nor Court will Katharine have Till fates do limit her a common grave. [SCENE 3.] _Enter Fraunce, Navar, Philip, Flaunders, Thomasin, and attendants_. _Nav_. Our daughter fled? when? whither? which way? how? _Tho_. I know not. _Phil_. Bellamira, my lives joy! Upon those pinnyons that support her flight Hovers my heart; you beare away my soule. Turne, turne agayn, and give this earthly frame Essentiall power, which for thine absence dyes. Thou art the sweet of sweets, the joy of joyes; For thee was Philip borne. O turne agayne, And Philip is the blessedest of men. _Lew_. We are glad she's gone though we dissemble it. --Sonne, bridle this affection, cease these laments: She did not value them. _Nav_. Lewis, she did, Till savage hate that shape disfigured. _Phil_. O she was worthy to be Queene of heaven; Her beauty, e're it suffred violence, Was like the Sunne in his Meridia
