and ungarnished, E're many dayes hang richer with the spoyles And vanquisht Trophyes of proud passengers Then was the Romans wealthy Capitoll. So, gentle Forrester, bequeath thy prayers In my assistance: that is all I crave. _For_. The God of power give power unto your arme That you may prove victorious-fortunate. _Pem_. Farewell, kind host. [_Exit Forester_. And now let me embrace This empty Monument of my lost friend. Oh! wer't so happy to enshrine his bones How blest should _Pembrooke_ be! but they are torne By the fierce savadge Woolfe whose filthy mawe Is made an unfit grave to bury him. But, if (without offence) I may desire it, I wish his soule from Paradise may see How well his name is kept in memorie.

Since therefore all my travell is in vayne, Here will I take a truce with former care. This cursed nook was that unlucky plot Where cursed Ferdinand did kill my love. What knight is this? Ile question him: perhaps He can resolve me where my Pembrooke is. --Joy and good fortune, sir, attend your state. _Pem_. Your wishes come too late. What seeke you, Madam? _Kath_. Tell me, sir knight, for so you seeme to be, Know you this dismall place you do frequent? Or have you heard of that unhappy fight Was here perform'd by Pembrook and his foe? _Pem_. Yes, Madam, I have heard of it long since And to my grief knew both the gentlemen. _Kath_. But can y
