Well sir where 's now the performance of all your friuolous promises that you should haue preserued and protected my husband for so long time that you would confound spoyle and ruine all his enemies Misoquin Why I pray did I deceiue him Did I not tell both him and you oftentimes that the Prince of Conde was his fatall opposite and how he must endeuour to extirpate the Princes of the bloud Gall. T' is true but on the other side it was foretold vs that our greatnes depended on a warre but if they were once dead against whom should we haue made warre Misoq Why against the Flyes a good workman neuer wants matter nor tooles But to speake truely thy husband was but a cowardly coistrell for had hee beene in the Army hee had neuer beene slaine at Paris Alas hee neuer had no valour in his life and further hee spent his time in pleasures and luxuries but thinke you if it had lyen in my power I would not haue preuented it What tribute doe you imagine paid he to Pluto euery yeare I assure you more then a million of soules Gall. Well I called thee not now to checke thee for any misfortune past but to take order with thee for some thing that is to come for I am inwardly enraged and reduced in a manner to vtter despaire my Iugineere and plotting Spirit and who hast ayded mee in many things canst thou not for my sake conferre some miserable disaster vpon the French Remaines there no Art nor no policie to compasse and atchieue our wicked enterprises Misoquin Your words are but meere winde There 's other matters in hand woman thy husband contary to all other men makes his repentance in another world for hee is now turn'd Moncke Gall. And how so I pray Misoq Why had hee not good cause to doe so when all his virile parts were so shamefully cut away Gall. Why thou wretched impe wilt thou euer be mocking vs Well couldst thou but be sensible of the miseries which ouer-whelme me thou wouldest not thus laugh and make thy selfe merry Misoquin You are in the right I pray doe Diuels vse to weepe But there 's other newes besides this Gall. Euen from the Cocke to the Bull But what I pray Misoquin Why yesterday I met with your neighbours Genius Gall. Why who was that Misoquin The Angell of the grand Master and wee had almost gone together by the eares about my comming hither Gall. How came that to passe Misoquin I was no sooner come in but he knew mee by reason I was somewhat of a different forme and thus hee said I coniure thee to tell mee whither thou goest Then I went still onward and he began againe to say In the name of God tell mee who thou art and whither thou goest vpon this iniunction I was enforc'd to answere I am then replyed I Misoquin sometimes his Demon or euill Angell that was called Marshall d' Ancre and you sir Who may you be When in great choler hee returned me this answere It concernes not you to be herein very inquisitiue But come you hither to seduce or corrupt any body No said I for shee I come to is corrupt enough already Accursed wretch as thou art for said hee thou alwayes delightest in doing euill Come hither said hee thou cursed Caytife Art not thou hee that didst aduise this silly woman to practise such mischiefe against France Art not thou the cause this Prince hath endur'd so much disgrace But all thy time and labour is herein but lost for the good and Almighty God hath made him take all his misfortunes patiently and herein hee hath highly deserued And the same God will deliuer him from the imprisonment hee suffers confounding all the enemies of truth and vnhappinesse shall befall them that persecute him for God himselfe is prouoked and stirred vp against them Tush replyed I these be goodly reasons you alledge but at conclusion I preuaile in my cause for you could not preserue your Prince so well as I did my Marquesse for thine endur'd more miserie since he came in here then mine did in all his life And so on the other side thou knowest not how hee shall dye but I know well enough how mine did and howsoeuer hee dyed like a braue man with his sword in his hand swearing like a gallant Captaine and blaspheming God thy Master And be assured that they who killed him augmented greatly herein his renowne for had hee not beene surprized there hee might peraduenture haue dyed in the chimney corner Then growing into great choler See this miscreant villaine said hee how after hee hath betrayed them how hee derides and laughes at men This is hee meaning it by mee said hee that was the cause of all his disaster by tickling him daily in the head with ambitions and extrauagant desires of Rule and Gouernment God in him hath expresly manifested how hee euer abandons those that leaue and forsake him for he dyed miserably giuing them cause who iustly hated him to mocke and laugh both at him and his designes But as for you sir I command you to retyre Beleeue mee if wee then had had any bodies I thinke wee should haue deuoured one another but so I
