So farewell, Reignier; set this diamond safe
In golden palaces as it becomes. [170]

REIGNIER

I do embrace thee, as I would embrace
The Christian prince King Henry were he here.

MARGARET

Farewell, my lord; good wishes, praise, and prayers
Shall Suffolk ever have of Margaret.

She is going.

SUFFOLK

Farewell, sweet madam; but hark you, Margaret, [175]
No princely commendations to my king?

MARGARET

Such commendations as becomes a maid,
A virgin, and his servant, say to him.

SUFFOLK

Words sweetly placed and modestly directed;
But, madam, I must trouble you again: [180]
No loving token to his majesty?

MARGARET

Yes, my good lord; a pure unspotted heart
Never yet taint with love, I send the king.

SUFFOLK

And this withal.

Kiss her.

MARGARET

That for thyself: I will not so presume [185]
To send such peevish tokens to a king.

[Exeunt Reignier and Margaret.]

SUFFOLK

O wert thou for myself! But, Suffolk, stay;
