of Edward the Second
 

Mor.
My Lord of Kent, what needes these questions?
Tis not in her controulment, nor in ours,
But as the Realme and Parliament shall please,

Is with that smooth tongu'd Scholler Baldocke gone,
And shipt but late for Ireland with the King.

Mor.ju.
Some whirlewind fetch them backe, or sinke them all:
They shall be started thence I doubt it not.

Prin.
Shall I not see the King my father yet?

Edm.
Unhappi's Edward, chast from Englands bounds.

S. John.
Madam, what resteth, why stand ye in a muse?

Qu.
I rue my Lords ill fortune, but alas,
Care of my Country cald me to this warre.

Mor.
Madam, have done with care and sad complaint,
