Florence. The DUKE's palace.
[Flourish. Enter the DUKE of Florence attended; the two Frenchmen, with a
troop of soldiers.]
DUKE
, ,
, ,
,
So* that | from point | to point,| now have | you
heard
,
, ,
, ,
The fun|damen|tal reas|ons of | this war,
,
, 2 ,
T T T
Whose* great | decis|ion hath much | blood let
forth
. T
T T
And more thirsts aft||er.
FIRST LORD
, ,
x
Ho|ly seems | the quarrel
, ,
, ,
,
Upon | your grace|'s part:| black and | fearful
,
,
On the | oppos|er. \\
DUKE
, ,
, ,
,
Therefore | we marv|el much | our cous|in France
, 2
, ,
, ,
Would in so | just a | business,| shut his |
bosom
,
, ,
Against | our bor|rowing / prayers.
SECOND LORD
, ,
Good | my lord,
,
, ,
, ,
The reas|ons of | our state | I can|not yield,
, , ,
, ,
But^like | a com|mon and | an out|ward man,
,
, ,
, ,
That the / great fig|ure of | a coun|cil frames
,
x ,
, ,
By self-|unable | motion,| therefore | dare not*
,
, , ,
,
Say what | I think | of it,/ since I | have found
,
, ,
, ,
Myself | in my | incert|ain grounds | to fail
,
, ,
As oft|en as | I guessed.
DUKE
x ,
Be it his | pleasure.
FIRST LORD
, 2
, ,
, ,
But I am | sure the | younger | of our | nature,
,
, ,
, ,
That sur|feit on | their ease,| will day | by day
,
,
Come^here | for phys|ic.
DUKE
, ,
,
Wel|come shall | they be:
,
, ,
, ,
And all | the hon|ors that | can fly | from us,
, x
, ,
,
Shall on / them settle:| You know | your plac|es
well,
,
, ,
, ,
When bet|ter fall,| for your | avails | they
fell,
, ,
,
Tomor|row to | the field. \\
