A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
Exit.

DIANA
For which live long to thank both heaven and me!
You may so in the end.
My mother told me just how he would woo

As if she sat in’s heart. She says all men [70]
Have the like oaths. He had sworn to marry me
When his wife’s dead; therefore I’ll lie with him

When I am buried. Since Frenchmen are so braid,
Marry that will, I live and die a maid.
Only, in this disguise, I think’t no sin [75]
To cozen him that would unjustly win.
Exit.

Scene III IT

Enter the two French Lords, and two or three soldiers.

FIRST LORD
You have not given him his mother’s letter?

SECOND LORD
I have delivered it an hour since. There is something in’t that stings his

nature, for on the reading it he changed almost into another man.

FIRST LORD

He has much worthy blame laid upon him for [5] shaking off so good a wife
and so sweet a lady.

SECOND LORD
Especially he hath incurred the everlasting displeasure of the King, who had
even tuned his bounty to sing happiness to him. I will tell you a thing, but you

shall let it dwell darkly with you. [10]

FIRST LORD
