HENRIQUEZ: A TRAGEDY.
279


HENRIQUEZ.

My face speaks falsely, I am much recover'd.

Here is the cup of welcome; will your Grace

Be pleased to honour me. (Taking a cup from a servant, and presenting it on one knee to the King.)

KING.

All good be on your head, and this fair dame's.

(Bowing to Henriquez and Leonora, and then drinking.)

Fair ladies and brave lords, well be ye all.

(Bowing to the company, and drinking again.)

HENRIQUEZ (to the Servant, who is pouring out a cup for him).

Up; fill it to the brim.

Health to the king, and a long happy reign.
(Drinks.)
To all my honour'd guests health and good welcome. (Drinks again.)

KING.

A goodly company: here are, methinks,

High blood enough, plumed hats and coronets,
To furnish out a court.

LEONORA.

They honour this poor feast which I have fashioned

To grace my Lord's return.
