.

_Cler._ Repeate not that, sir; the amends makes all. 75

_Ren._ I joy in it, my best and worthiest friend;
O, y'have a princely fautor of the Guise.

_Bal._ I thinke I did my part to.

_Ren._ Well, sir, all
Is in the issue well: and (worthiest friend)
Here's from your friend, the Guise; here from the Countesse, 80
Your brothers mistresse, the contents whereof
I know, and must prepare you now to please
Th'unrested spirit of your slaughtered brother,
If it be true, as you imagin'd once,
His apparition show'd it. The complot 85
Is now laid sure betwixt us; therefore haste
Both to your great friend (who hath some use waightie
For your repaire to him) and to the Countesse,
Whose satisfaction is no lesse important.

_Cler._ I see all, and will haste as it importeth. 90
And good friend, since I must delay a little
My wisht attendance on my noblest mistresse,
Excuse me to her, with returne of this,
And endlesse protestation of my service;
And now become as glad a messenger, 95
As you were late a wofull.

_Aum._ Happy change!
I ever will salute thee with my service. _Exit._

_Bal._ Yet more newes, brother; the late jesting Monsieur
Makes now your brothers dying prophesie equall
At all parts, being dead as he presag'd. 100

_Ren._ Heaven shield the Guise from seconding that truth
With what he likewise prophesied on him!

_Cler._ It hath enough, twas grac'd with truth in one;
To'th other falshood and confusion!
Leade to the Court, sir.

_Bal._ You Ile leade no more; 105
It was to ominous and foule before. _Exeunt._

ACTUS QUINTI SCAENA PRIMA.

[_A Room in the Palace of the Duke of Guise._]

_Ascendit Umbra Bussi._

_Umbra Bussi._ Up from the chaos of eternall night
(To which the whole digestion of the world
Is now returning) once more I ascend,
And bide the cold dampe of this piercing ayre,
To urge the justice whose almightie word 5
Measures the bloudy acts of impious men
With equall pennance, who in th'act it selfe
Includes
