Worth seizure do we seize into our hands,

Till thou canst quit thee by thy brother’s mouth

Of what we think against thee.

I never lov’d my brother in my life.

Duke F.

And thou, thrice-crowned queen of night, survey

With thy chaste eye, from thy pale sphere above,

Thy huntress’ name that my full life doth sway.

And in their barks my thoughts I’ll character,

That every eye which in this forest looks

Shall see thy virtue witness’d every where.

The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she.

Exit.
