 The troublesome Raigne
 
 1467and you Frier Laurence remember your raunsome a hundred
 1468pound, and a pardon for your selfe, and the rest come on. Sir
 1469Prophet, you shall with me, to receiue a Prophets rewarde.
 1470Exeunt.
 
 1471 Enter Hubert de Burgh with three men.
 
 1472Hubert My masters, I haue shewed you what warrant I
 1473haue for this attempt; I perceiue by your heauie countenan-
 1474ces, you had rather be otherwise imployed, and for my owne
 1475part, I would the King had made choyce of some other execu-
 1476tioner: onely this is my comfort, that a King commaunds,
 1477whose precepts neglected or omitted, threatneth torture for the
 1478default. Therefore in briefe, leaue me, and be readie to attend
 1479the aduenture: stay within that entry, and when you heare me
 1480crie, God saue the King, issue sodainly foorth, lay handes on
 1481Arthur, set him in this chayre, wherin (once fast bound) leaue
 1482him with me to finish the rest.
 1483Attendants We goe, though loath. Exeunt.
 1484Hubert My Lord, will it please your Honour to take the
 1485benefite of the faire euening?
 
 1486 Enter Arthur to Hubert de Burgh.
 
 1487Arthur Gramercie Hubert for thy care of me,
 1488In or to whom restraint is newly knowen,
 1489The ioy of walking is small benefit,
 1490Yet will I take thy offer with small thankes,
 1491I would not loose the pleasure of the eye.
 1492But tell me curteous keeper if you can,
 1493How long the King will haue me tarrie heere.
 1494Hubert I know not Prince, but as I gesse not long.
 1495God send you freedome, and God saue the King,
 1496 They issue forth.
 1497Arthur Why how now sirs, what may this outrage
 1498 meane?
 O helpe
