  their scholmaisters。
  How now my Lords; how fare you?
  NAVARRE。 My Lord; they say That all the protestants are massacred。

  'Scene VIII'
  Enter Anjoy; with two Lords of Poland。
  ANJOY。 My Lords of Poland I must needs confesse; The offer of your
  Prince Elector's; farre Beyond the reach of my desertes: For Poland is as I
  have   been   enformde;   A   martiall   people;   worthy   such   a   King;   As   hath
  sufficient   counsaile   in   himselfe;   To   lighten   doubts   and   frustrate   subtile
  foes。 And such a King whom practice long hath taught; To please himselfe
  with   mannage   of   the   warres;   The   greatest   warres   within   our   Christian
  bounds; I meane our warres against the Muscovites: And on the other side
  against the Turke; Rich Princes both; and mighty Emperours: Yet by my
  brother   Charles   our   King   of   France;   And   by   his   graces   councell   it   is
  thought;     That   if  I  undertake    to  weare    the  crowne     Of  Poland;    it  may
  prejudice   their   hope   Of   my   inheritance   to   the   crowne   of   France:   For   if
  th'almighty take my brother hence; By due discent the Regall seat is mine。
  With Poland therfore must I covenant thus; That if by death of Charles; the
  diadem Of France be cast on me; then with your leaves I may retire me to
  my   native   home。   If   your   commission   serve   to   warrant   this;   I   thankfully
  shall undertake the charge Of you and yours; and carefully maintaine The
  wealth and safety of your kingdomes right。
  LORD。 All this and more your highnes shall commaund; For Polands
  crowne and kingly diadem。
  ANJOY。 Then come my Lords; lets goe。
  Exeunt。

  1。 O no; his bodye will infect the fire; and the fire the aire; and so we
  shall be poysoned with him。
  2。 What shall we doe then?
  1。 Lets throw him into the river。
  2。 Oh twill corrupt the water; and the water the fish; and the fish our
  selves when we eate them。

  That I could long ere this have wisht him there。 But come lets walke aside;
  th'airs not very sweet。
  GUISE。 No by my faith Madam。 Sirs; take him away and throw him in
  some ditch。
  Carry away the dead body。
  And now Madam as I understand; There anre a hundred Hugonets and
  more;   Which   in   the   woods   doe   horde   their   synagogue: And   dayly   meet
  about this time of day; thither will I to put them to the sword。
  QUEENE MOTHER。 Doe so sweet Guise; let us delay no time; For if
  these straglers gather head againe; And disperse themselves throughout the

  How   Charles   our   sonne   begins   for   to   lament   For   the   late   nights   worke
  which my Lord of Guise Did make in Paris amongst the Hugonites?
  CARDINALL。   Madam;   I   have   heard   him   solemnly   vow;   With   the
  rebellious King of Navarre; For to revenge their deaths upon us all。
  QUEENE        MOTHER。         I;  but  my   Lord;   let  me   alone    for  that;  For
  Katherine must have her will in France: As I doe live; so surely shall he
  dye; And Henry then shall weare the diadem。 And if he grudge or crosse
  his Mothers will; Ile disinherite him and all the rest: For Ile rule France;
  but they shall weare the crowne: And if they storme; I then may pull them
  downe。 Come my Lord let's goe。

  dye。

  we presently despatch Embassadours To Poland; to call Henry back againe;
  To weare his brothers crowne and dignity。 Epernoune; goe see it presently

  opportunity may serve me fit; To steale from France; and hye me to
