of Edward the Second.
 

Gave.
For every looke my Lord drops downe a teare,
Seeing I must goe, do not renew my sorrow.

Edw.
The time is little that thou hast to stay,
And therefore give me leave to looke my fill,
But come sweete friend, ile beare thee on thy way.

Gave.
The Peeres will frowne.

Edw.
