 855Enter William and Blanch disguised, with a maske
 856ouer her face.
 857William. Come on my loue, the comfort of my life: 
 858Disguised thus we may remaine vnknowen.
 859And get we once to Seas, I force not then, 
 860We quickly shall attaine the English shore.
 861Blaunch. But this I vrge you with your former oath. 
 862You shall not seeke to violate mine honour, 
 863Vntill our marriage rights be all performed.
 864William. Mariana, here I sweare to thee by heauen, 
 865And by the honour that I beare to Armes, 
 866Neuer to seeke or craue at hands of thee, 
 867The spoyle of honourable chastitie 
 868Vntill we do attaine the English coast, 
 869Where thou shalt be my right espoused Queene.
 870Blanch. In hope your oath proceedeth from your heart, 
 871Lets leaue the Court, and betake vs to his power 
 872That gouernes all things to his mightie will, 
 873And will reward the iust with endlesse ioye,
 874And plague the bad with most extreame annoy.
 875William. Lady, as little tarriance as wee may, 
 876Lest some misfortune happen by the way.
 877Exit Blanch & William.
