orters. 110
_Buss._ Tis our Kings motion, and we shall not seeme
To worst eies womanish, though we change thus soone
Never so great grudge for his greater pleasure.
_Gui._ I seale to that, and so the manly freedome,
That you so much professe, hereafter prove not 115
A bold and glorious licence to deprave,
To me his hand shall hold the Hermean vertue
His grace affects, in which submissive signe
On this his sacred right hand I lay mine.
_Buss._ Tis well, my lord, and so your worthy greatnesse 120
Decline not to the greater insolence,
Nor make you think it a prerogative
To rack mens freedomes with the ruder wrongs,
My hand (stuck full of lawrell, in true signe
Tis wholly dedicate to righteous peace) 125
In all submission kisseth th'other side.
_Henr._ Thanks to ye both: and kindly I invite ye
Both to a banquet where weele sacrifice
Full cups to confirmation of your loves;
At which (faire ladies) I entreat your presence; 130
And hope you, madam, will take one carowse
For reconcilement of your lord and servant.
_Duchess._ If I should faile, my lord, some other lady
Would be found there to doe that for my servant.
_Mons._ Any of these here?
_Duch._ Nay, I know not that. 135
_Buss._ Think your thoughts like my mistresse, honour'd lady?
_Tamyra._ I think not on you, sir; y'are one I know not.
_Buss._ Cry you mercy, madam!
_Montsurry._ Oh sir, has she met you?
_Exeunt Henry, D'Amb[ois], Ladies._
_Mons._ What had my bounty drunk when it rais'd him?
_Gui._ Y'ave stuck us up a very worthy flag, 140
That takes more winde than we with all our sailes.
_Mons._ O, so he spreds and flourishes.
_Gui._ He must downe;
Upstarts should never perch too neere a crowne.
_Mons._ Tis true, my lord; and as this doting hand
Even out of earth (like Juno) struck this giant, 145
So Joves great ordinance shall be here implide
To strike him under th'AEtna of his pride.
To which work lend your hands, and let us cast
Where we may set snares for his ranging greatnes.
I think it best, amongst our greatest women: 150
For there is no such trap to catch an up
