2379Nay, my fair master, what fair game is this?
2379Nay, no great praise, I think; I will no more; what should I do with death, Though I died goodly out of sight of you?
2379Nay, set your eyes a little in my face; See, do I weep?
2379Nay, shall not he?
2379Nay, stolen said you, sir?
2379Nay, sweet, Do not you hate her?
2379Nay, who will have it?
2379Nay, will you go, my lord?
2379Nay, would you have more honor, having this-- Men''s hearts and loves and the sweet spoil of souls Given you like simple gold to bind your hair?
2379Nay, ye gape on me-- What, doth he sleep, or feeds, or plays at games?
2379No maid about?
2379No maiden of them?-what, no more than this?
2379No man speak?
2379No marvel if he loved it for her sake; She is the choice of women in the world; Is she not, sweet?

2379O, will you weep?
2379O, you will never let him speak to them To put me in such shame?
2379Or blurred- ay, surely so much- with one tear, One little sharp tear strayed on it by chance?
2379Or but the hands?
2379Or is this like the forethought of deep sleep Felt by a tired man?
2379Our fate was made thus ere our days were made: Will you fight fortune for so small a grief?
2379Pray God it be the better: nay, which hand?
2379Pray you, be at peace; You hurt yourself: she will be merciful; What, could you see a true man slain for you?

2379Still you see nothing?
2379Suppose you need not die?
2379Swear it, madam?
2379Sweet dreams, you said?
2379Sweet, will you swear me this?
2379Sweet, you have seen fair wars, Have seen men slain and ridden red in them; Why will you die a chamberer''s death like this?
2379That came between your hands?
2379The heart you have, has it no sort of fear?
2379There was a fellow hanged some three days gone Wept the whole way: think you this man shall die In better sort, now?
2379They said that?
2379Think how shame slays a man; How shall I live then?
2379Think you, fair my knight, Love shall live after life in any man?
2379Think, for God''s sake-- Is there no loving way to fetch him forth?
2379This is mere mercy-- But you thank God you love him not a whit?
2379To serve her with that three- inch wit of his?
2379Truly I think I did kneel down, did pray, Yea, weep( who knows?)

2379We are alive, and can not be well sure If we loved much or little: think you not It were convenient one of us should die?
2379Well, if this be, what good is to be done?
2379Well, which of these must take my life in hand?
2379Well?
2379Were it not fit Great queens should love him?
2379Were you not bred up on some hangman''s hire And dicted with fleshmeats at his hand And fed into a fool?
2379What adder Has bit you mirthful mad?
2379What can I do to give you ease at heart?
2379What do you mean to cast such gibes at me?
2379What fell to you?
2379What has she done for you to gird at her?
2379What is this they say?
2379What is to say?
2379What jest is here, fair ladies?
2379What kind of man?
2379What love is that, my lord?
2379What makes you gape so beastlike after blood?
2379What makes you sigh though I be found a fool?
2379What makes you stare upon the seal so hard?
2379What man is that, sweet?
2379What manner of man?
2379What mind then, sir?
2379What noise is that?
2379What pale blood you have-- Is it for fear you turn such cheeks to me?
2379What saith he now?
2379What shall be said?
2379What should I do but paint and put him up Like a gilt god, a saintship in a shrine, For all fools''feast?
2379What sort of heart?
2379What sort of suit?
2379What thing is that?
2379What way am I do die?
2379What were you saying?
2379What will you do To make men take your sweet word?
2379What will you do for grief when he is dead?
2379What will you do?
2379What will you do?
2379What will you do?
2379What would I have?
2379What would one say now I were thinking of?
2379What would your highness have?
2379What, are you come, fair lord?
2379What, are you made of flesh?
2379What, have you taken order?
2379What, he will not fly-- Not though I wink myself asleep, turn blind-- Which that I will I say not?
2379What, if I kiss you?
2379What, if two brethren love not heartily, Who shall be good to either one of them?
2379What, is it sewn into your flesh?
2379What, is my death''s time come, And you the friend to make death kind to me?
2379What, is one here?
2379What, is the writing smutched or gone awry?
2379What, is this true?
2379What, is this true?
2379What, my reprieve?
2379What, no more but this?
2379What, shall I swear?
2379What, shall my cousin hold fast that love of his, Her face and talk, when life ends?
2379What, shall no praise be written of my knight, For my fame''s sake?
2379What, sick or dead?
2379What, slain indeed?
2379What, think you he will speak against your fame?
2379What, will not one be king?
2379What, will you let him die so easily?
2379What, will you let men stone me in the ways?
2379What, will you weep for that now?
2379When have I done thus since I was alive?
2379Where be my maidens?
2379Where''s Hamilton?
2379Wherefore reprieve?
2379Which of you now will set his will to mine?
2379Which of you waits?
2379Which one is that, stooped somewhat in the neck, That walks so with his chin against the wind, Lips sideways shut?
2379Which think you now was that I kissed you with?
2379Who has done this to me?
2379Why do you laugh and mock me with stretched hands?
2379Why do you look one way?
2379Why do you praise her gracious looks to me?
2379Why do you thus?
2379Why should he live to breed you bad reports?
2379Why will you break my heart with praying to me?
2379Why will you give me for men''s eyes to burn?
2379Why, I would see him; I am weary for his sake; Bid my lord in.-Nathless he will but chide; Nay, fleer and laugh: what should one say to him?
2379Why, have you seen her sorrowful to- night?
2379Why, lacks it grace?
2379Why, let them take their way: What ails it them though I be soft or hard?
2379Why, what can death do with me fit to fear?
2379Why, who should slay me?
2379Will not one here lay hold upon my state?
2379Will you be hard?
2379Will you behold him dead?
2379Will you do one thing for me?
2379Will you not have my chaplain come to you?
2379Will you not read now?
2379Will you not swear I love this prisoner?
2379Will you now love me?
2379Will you say that?
2379Will you see him?
2379Will you think thus of her?
2379Will you weep too?
2379Woe''s me, Is there no way to pluck this body off?
2379Woe''s me, and will you turn my tears to thorns?
2379Would I saw that-- How did you slay him?
2379Yea, best such folk were slain; Why should they live to cozen fools with lies?
2379Yea, should I set you on?
2379Yea, sweet; what should I do?
2379Yea, truly were it so?
2379Yea, what thing is here?
2379Yea: must a dead man not be looked upon That living one was fain of?
2379You Seyton, you Carmichael, you have wits, You are not all run to tears; you do not think It is my wrath or will that whets this axe Against his neck?
2379You are no churl, sweet, will you see me weep?
2379You are tender of me; will you serve me so, Against mine own will, show me so much love, Do me good service that I loath being done, Out of pure pity?
2379You are wise that live to threat and tell me so; Do you love life too much?
2379You are yet young for fighting; but in fight Have you never caught a wound?
2379You call love sweet; yea, what is bitter, then?
2379You have heard no news?
2379You knew I had to live and be reprieved: Say I were bent to die now?
2379You knew of this?
2379You know that I might slay you with my lips, With calling out?
2379You made a song once of old flowers and loves, Will you not sing that rather?
2379You never sing now but it makes you sad; Why do you sing?
2379You smile as if I jested; do not men Sleep as we do?
2379You weep and whisper with sloped necks and heads Like two sick birds; do you think shame of me?
2379You will not see?
2379You would swear now you have used me faithfully; Shall I not make you swear?
2379You, die like me?
2379and him with huge thewed throat?
2379are you so sure of heart?
2379but you know not, sweet, You shall see how much), think you for their sake He may go free?
2379come, would you let him live?
2379did mine eye draw my heart?
2379doth she ail too?
2379for I can feel your hair Touch me-- I may embrace your body too?
2379how all life- deeds will look At the grave''s edge that lets men into hell?
2379how shall I make you see?
2379how the hard mist Made the hills ache?
2379is it done?
2379must I pluck it out?
2379nay, I loved you; nay, Why should your like be pitied when they love?
2379nay, but verily?
2379no man take it up?
2379no pity-- Have you no mercies for such men?
2379not to catch up her gown The page let slip, but to keep sight of me?
2379or hot and quick To lean her head on mine and leave her lips Deep in my neck?
2379or on her throat?
2379or the talk of hell And wretched changes of the worn- out soul Nailed to decaying flesh, shall that be true?
2379or this way in the neck?
2379or you, my lord?
2379take heed-- Nay, but for shame-- what have you done with it?
2379this a thorn of mine?
2379what doth he here, With Scotch folk here?
2379what have I done to you?
2379what news?
2379what shall I give you to be gone?
2379what shift now?
2379what should wise folk do with him?
2379what think you of, Talking of love and of love''s mean in me And of your guesses and of slaying him?
2379what way should one take To please such people?
2379what will you make of me?
2379what, they must eat strange food Those singing lips of his?
2379what?
2379which way got you in?
2379who knows how he might please?
2379who let you through the doors?
2379who shall do me wrong?
2379would you have me dead?
2379would you use me as a girl does fruit, Touched with her mouth and pulled away for game To look thereon ere her lips feed?
2379you will not have me shamed?
6791A daring deed must one day end the matter; Why will you not with such a deed begin?
6791Am I condemned?
6791Am I then mad?
6791And Mary hopes-- Shall I return to her with empty comfort?
6791And can she thus roll in the very dust Her own, and every monarch''s majesty?
6791And can you, then, with certainty assure me That in your plot my name has not been mentioned?
6791And dared you then to execute the writ Thus hastily, nor wait to know my pleasure?
6791And did he in my name Deliver it?
6791And did he seek again to win your love?
6791And did not even Talbot, though gray- headed, Grow young again when speaking of her charms?
6791And did this iron grate Prevent her from decoying to her toils The virtuous heart of Norfolk?
6791And did this sad example terrify These mad adventurers, whose rival zeal Plunges for her into this deep abyss?
6791And do you think that the mere name of queen Can serve you as a charter to foment In other countries, with impunity, This bloody discord?
6791And does he still majestic stand, A very rock and pillar of the church?
6791And fears she not the dread revenge of France?
6791And find that friend in you, The nephew of my gaoler, whom I thought My most inveterate enemy?
6791And from a Stuart, then, should England hope This happiness?
6791And hast thou turned Thy heart, from this idolatry, to God?
6791And have you promised it?
6791And he a madman who Casts life away?
6791And how shall I, a weak, untutored woman, Cope with so subtle, learned an orator?
6791And if the queen is gracious, sir, are you The man to hinder pity''s soft emotions?
6791And is it really true that she''s so fair?
6791And is not she, by Henry''s will, passed o''er In silence?
6791And is this freedom which I now enjoy The happy consequence?
6791And know I then that some too ready hand May not abridge this tedious work of sorrow?
6791And prospers still His life?
6791And these friends, know they my secret?
6791And these men are my judges?
6791And were it probable That party hatred could corrupt one heart; Can forty chosen men unite to speak A sentence just as passion gives command?
6791And what is gained by this?
6791And what were then the plans which you had framed?
6791And where, my lord, where were your thousand eyes, Not to discover Mortimer was false?
6791And will you leave my presence thus again, And not relieve my fearful, anxious heart From the fell torments of uncertainty?
6791And you confess at last that you are conquered: Are all your schemes run out?
6791And, paltering villain I dare you then presume To construe, as you list, my words-- and lay Your bloody meaning on them?
6791Answer me; Why was not Babington confronted with me?
6791Are orders given Not to admit him should he come?
6791Are they then Base wretches, snatched at hazard from the crowd?
6791Are we alone?
6791Are you acquainted with this country?
6791Are you deserving then of confidence?
6791Are you not scared By Babington and Tichburn''s bloody heads, Set up as warnings upon London''s bridge?
6791Are you still here?
6791Art thou, in sooth, Resolved to leave this world at peace with all?
6791Be calm-- Say, what has happened?
6791Be firm-- or is it then decided?--is it Indeed decided?
6791Be mine the school of Saint Bartholomew; What''s kindred then to me, or nation''s laws?
6791Behold I you again?
6791But can appearances Disturb your conscience where the cause is just?
6791But say, Have you then pledged your promise, have you?
6791But would it then become me to behold My kinswoman in infamy and want?
6791Can I believe it?
6791Can I still bear to live?
6791Can you deny it, sir, that this same statute Was made for my destruction, and naught else?
6791Can you deny your secret correspondence With Mary?--that she sent and you received Her picture, that you gave her hopes of rescue?
6791Can you not lead me to her?
6791Could he forget that his so splendid lot Was the creation of your generous love?
6791Did England then receive her hospitably?
6791Did I not lay my strict injunction on you To keep it carefully?
6791Did he Avert them from your head?
6791Did he e''er implore your pardon?
6791Did he know The dangers which surrounded you?
6791Did she not rouse From out these walls the malefactor Parry, And Babington, to the detested crime Of regicide?
6791Did the queen give you, then, this bloody order?
6791Did you give it?
6791Did you see Morgan, and the wily Bishop Of Ross?
6791Did you see her shed one tear, Or even change her color?
6791Do I find a friend So near, when I conceived myself abandoned By the whole world?
6791Do I for once, at least, deserve your thanks?
6791Do I live still?
6791Do I owe this favor, sir, to you?
6791Do you, then, My liege, command its instant execution?
6791Does fortune favor him?
6791Does he remember me?
6791Does some demon chain me to this spot?
6791Either to tremble in eternal fear Upon my throne, or else to sacrifice A queen of my own kindred on the block?"
6791Feel''st thou within thee strength enough to smother Each impulse of malignity and hate?
6791First see her, face to face: Did I not see how she was moved at reading Your letter?
6791Foolhardiness and madness, is this courage?
6791From my uncle In France-- the worthy Cardinal of Lorrain?
6791From thee, the sovereign it adores, desert To Darnley''s murderess?
6791Give me the lie?
6791Had I but been a tyrant, like my sister, My predecessor, I could fearless then Have shed this royal blood:--but am I now Just by my own free choice?
6791Happy I now may deem myself, and free; Why wake me from my dream''s so sweet confusion?
6791Has she so?
6791Has then thy heart no other accusation, Which hath not been confessed and washed away?
6791Hast thou read Upon my brow such base dexterity?
6791Have I no reason, then, To sigh?
6791Have you imparted then your wishes to him?
6791He killed himself, you say Is''t so?
6791Hear you these blasphemies?
6791Hear''st then the bugle, so blithely resounding?
6791Hear''st thou its echoes through wood and through plain?
6791Hold?
6791Holds me no more the sad dungeon of care?
6791How can he clear himself?
6791How do I know these bars are not filed through?
6791How doth her presence wake my slumbering shame?
6791How fare you, dearest lady?
6791How fares her majesty?
6791How fares my chamberlain, old Didier?
6791How happened it?
6791How her eyes were drowned in tears?
6791How is this?
6791How more attentive?
6791How now, madam?
6791How now, my Lord of Kent?
6791How now, my lord: Why so confused?
6791How now, my lord?
6791How now, sir?
6791How now?
6791How now?
6791How that this floor, these walls, that seem so strong Without, may not be hollow from within, And let in felon treachery when I sleep?
6791How to act I know not; Should I retain it, should I forward it?
6791How, madam, fares the queen?
6791How, my lord, So scrupulous when help is offered you?
6791How, my lord; Can you deny me, then, this small petition?
6791How?
6791How?
6791How?
6791How?
6791How?
6791How?
6791I acknowledged, Say you, the competence of the commission?
6791I am a bastard, am I?
6791I e''er have known you as an honest man; Now prove it to me; tell me, on your conscience, If such a law exist or not in England?
6791I have been parted from my faithful women, And from my servants; tell me, where are they?
6791I never have acknowledged it, my lord; How could I so?
6791I?
6791If Heaven decree that one of us two queens Must perish, to secure the other''s life-- And sure it must be so-- why should not I Be she who yields?
6791If he Could clear himself?
6791If the course was good, Wherefore conceal it?
6791In very truth did you deliver it?
6791In what rash enterprise would you Engage me?
6791In whom can I confide When he deceives me?
6791Is Burleigh with her, too, my evil genius?
6791Is it accomplished?
6791Is it meant The murderer shall surprise me, like the judges?
6791Is it not?
6791Is it probable that England, As yet so blessed in the new light''s enjoyment, Should throw itself into this papist''s arms?
6791Is it thus you have obeyed my orders?
6791Is it you?
6791Is not life Life''s highest good?
6791Is she awake?
6791Is that my Lord of Kent?
6791Is the death- warrant ready?
6791Is the queen then sick?
6791Is the suit ended, sir?
6791Is then a heavenly happiness prepared To cheer me on the very verge of death?
6791Is then the tourney, the carousal over?
6791Is there no delusion To cheat my senses?
6791Is this a fate for her, the gentle born, Who in her very cradle was a queen?
6791Is this a time to fear her power, when France, Her only succor, has abandoned her?
6791Is''t not well?
6791It costs you but a word-- determine then What shall I do with this mysterious scroll?
6791It is pronounced?
6791It well befits me; am not I the man, The happy man, to whom thy gracious favor Has given the highest station?
6791Know you The deeps and shallows of this court?
6791Know you, then, what you risk?
6791Look I then like a murderer?
6791Lord Leicester?
6791May I approach her?
6791Melvil, sure, The ancient steward?
6791Melvil, you come from London; can you give No tidings of my husband?
6791Must she in death surround me with love''s toils?
6791Must she not set her tender foot, still used To softest treading, on the rugged ground?
6791My Lord High- Treasurer and the Earl of Leicester?
6791My Lord of Leicester, you alone Are silent; does the subject which has made Him eloquent, deprive you of your speech?
6791My fears are covered by the grave; who dares To say I did it?
6791Nay, is it not a fact?
6791No more assassins Now on the road?
6791No, Shrewsbury; you surely would not now Desert me?
6791Nor by the ruin of those many victims Who have, in such attempts, found certain death, And only made my chains the heavier?
6791Now?
6791O, Melvil, Melvil, why was it our fate To see the dawn of this unhappy day?
6791Oh, how shall I So artfully arrange my cautious words That they may touch, yet not offend your heart?
6791Oh, let me employ it Skimming with winged step light o''er the lea; Have I escaped from this mansion of mourning?
6791Oh, tell me then how bore The queen this terrible vicissitude?
6791Oh, what a deep abyss Of monstrous deeds?
6791Oh, why was I not told of this before?
6791Or did you kill him?
6791Or fall in deep repentance at your feet?
6791Repentest thou of the sin?
6791Repentest thou of the sin?
6791Respect my sex; who shall attend me else, And yield me the last service?
6791Returned alone?
6791Saw we not The first, best head in all this island fall A sacrifice for her upon the block?
6791Say then, what surety can be offered me, Should I magnanimously loose your bonds?
6791Say, did the sentence Surprise her?
6791Say, do you still adhere to your resolve, And still refuse assistance from the dean?
6791Say, have you placed this warrant in my hands To see that it be speedily enforced?
6791Say, have you?
6791Say, honest Melvil, how you fared the while In this inhospitable, hostile land?
6791Say, is it so, or not?
6791Say, is my conscience bound, then, to this realm?
6791Say, sir, may I hope?
6791Say, then, could England''s sovereign do more Than, out of all the monarchy, elect The very noblest, and appoint them judges In this great suit?
6791Say, what are then their latest plans of treason?
6791Say, what ordains him To be the Lord''s interpreter?
6791Say, whither will you take your flight?
6791Say, who was here?
6791Say, with what lock can I secure your faith, Which by Saint Peter''s keys can not be opened?
6791See you not from far How we are followed by observing spies?
6791Shall I retain it, then,''till further orders?
6791Shall, with this papist queen The ancient superstition be renewed?
6791She fears not a collected world in arms?
6791Shrewsbury, you saved my life, you turned The murderous steel aside; why let you not The dagger take its course?
6791Since last we parted?
6791Sir, I breathe The air within an English prison walls: Is that to live in England; to enjoy Protection from its laws?
6791Sir, satisfy, I beg you, my impatience; What says his lordship?
6791So soon returned?
6791Speak, my lord; did you From me receive the warrant?
6791Stand''st thou not blooming there in youthful prime While each step leads her towards the expecting tomb?
6791Stands the sun still In its ethereal course?
6791Tell me, Sir, First, how it comes that you should take so warm An interest in her fate; and what it was Gained you her confidence?
6791That she lays claim to England?
6791The judges?
6791The monk resume his sway, the Roman legate In pomp march hither; lock our churches up, Dethrone our monarchs?
6791The sentence is pronounced-- what gain I by it?
6791The sentence, sir, which I but late intrusted Unto your keeping; where is it?
6791There''s Sir Amias Paulet; noble sir, What tidings bring you?
6791Therefore should she live?
6791They say she is not royally attended; Would not the sight of her distress reproach me?
6791This happened then but now?
6791Those then, my Lord of Leicester, are the charms Which no man with impunity can view, Near which no woman dare to stand?
6791Thou mountest, then, satisfied Of thy own innocence, the fatal scaffold?
6791To hear what I would shudder to behold?
6791To her?
6791To see her head descend upon the block With unaverted and indifferent eyes?
6791Upon this statute, then, My lord, is built the verdict of my judges?
6791Vile wranglers that make sale of truth and justice; Oppression''s willing hirelings, and its tools?
6791Was I then born to waken naught but frenzy?
6791Was it Burleigh?
6791Was it not then your prayer?
6791Was it not yourself that brought me to the court?
6791Was''t not enough to rob her of her power, Must ye then envy her its paltry tinsel?
6791Well, Davison?
6791Well, have I acted right at last, my lady?
6791Were this a spectacle for British eyes?
6791Were you not present at the tilt?
6791What ailed the knight?
6791What ails thee, Hannah?
6791What are the duties that I owe to England?
6791What are these fears?
6791What are you dreaming of?
6791What calls thee to the presence of the Highest?
6791What can he do?
6791What do you mean by that?
6791What has a third to do''twixt thee and me?
6791What has frightened you?
6791What has occurred?
6791What has passed?
6791What have I lost?
6791What have you done then to deliver her?
6791What have you done?
6791What have you there?
6791What head is safe, if the anointed fall?
6791What is the life of all compared to thee, And to my love?
6791What is the matter, uncle?
6791What is the matter?
6791What is their fate?
6791What is this?
6791What lady''s that?
6791What loss, my lord?
6791What may the purport of the letter be?
6791What mean you, my lord, by that?
6791What means your lordship?
6791What need have we of him?
6791What orders, sir?
6791What other sin disturbs thy guilty conscience?
6791What other sin hath armed thy heart against thee?
6791What power have you?
6791What queen?
6791What said the queen to you?
6791What saw you?
6791What say you, sir?
6791What say you?
6791What say you?
6791What say you?
6791What seat is that, my lord?
6791What seek you here?
6791What then is lost?
6791What uproar''s this I hear without?
6791What was that?
6791What wilt thou, slave of tyranny, with me?
6791What wish they still, my lord?
6791What wishes else?
6791What wishes he?
6791What would you say to me, my Lady Stuart?
6791What would you?
6791What''s my crime?
6791What''s that to me?
6791What''s their wish?
6791What, in Heaven''s name, can make her formidable?
6791What?
6791What?
6791What?
6791What?
6791What?
6791When did I fear to act Before your face?
6791When did I order you To give the paper into Burleigh''s hands?
6791When did I strive at that?
6791When did I that, my lord?
6791When shall my head lie calmly down to sleep?
6791When she discovers That I am cheating her, that Mary lives; Are we not where we were?
6791Whence came the jewel?
6791Whence comes this aguish dread?
6791Whence know ye this?
6791Whence this sigh?
6791Where are the lords?
6791Where are their lordships?
6791Where are they then?
6791Where are they?
6791Where are your proofs?
6791Where is she now?
6791Where is the murderess?
6791Where is the purpose now with which I came To stifle my heart''s voice in callous scorn?
6791Where is the throne?
6791Where is the warrant?
6791Where shall I find, poor sufferer, an asylum?
6791Where the imperial canopy of state?
6791Where would your giddy madness hurry you?
6791Where, sir, is the paper?
6791Which of you then announced to me a prisoner Bowed down by woe?
6791Which, then, shall pave the way to confidence?
6791Who attends her?
6791Who can constrain thee?
6791Who comes?
6791Who comes?
6791Who could suspect Beneath the vows of faithfullest devotion A deadly snare?
6791Who did this frantic deed?
6791Who gives me an assurance on your side?
6791Who hath done this, my Lord of Leicester?
6791Who said that?
6791Who shall prevent me?
6791Who that beholds these naked walls could say That majesty dwelt here?
6791Who told me then to trust this practised villain?
6791Who waits without?
6791Who was it, then, my queen, Who saved you?
6791Who''s there?
6791Who''s there?
6791Who, reared in Catherine''s luxurious court, Enjoyed the fulness of each earthly pleasure?
6791Who, when a poisonous adder is delivered Into their hands, would keep the treacherous charge As if it were a sacred, precious jewel?
6791Who?
6791Why acts she thus?
6791Why am I then denied that privilege, That right which e''en the murderer enjoys?
6791Why do I shake?
6791Why gaze you at me thus?
6791Why hasten then her death?
6791Why not my servants, who are both alive?
6791Why not to me?
6791Why not?
6791Why shed their blood the daring?
6791Why these complaints?
6791Why this pause, This hesitation?
6791Why was he in his lifetime not produced Before my face?
6791Why was he then despatched So quickly that he could not be confronted With her whom he accused?
6791Why weep ye?
6791Will he do nothing for me?
6791Will he forsake me, who has saved my life?
6791Will no adventurer Attempt again for you the sad achievement?
6791Will not the King of Spain rise up in arms?
6791Will not this roof fall down and bury me?
6791Will she then dare, regardless of the shame, Lay my crowned head upon the fatal block?
6791Will they force me, then?
6791Wilt thou then conceal The crime from God for which thou art condemned?
6791With what A potent spell this female sceptre binds And rules men''s spirits round her?
6791Yawns no abyss to swallow in its gulf The veriest wretch on earth?
6791Yet could it not be proved?
6791Yet, if it still were possible?
6791You gave him not my letter?
6791You give this counsel?
6791You have confederates, accomplices?
6791You have declared it, say you?
6791You heard the bugle- horns?
6791You led her majesty?
6791You?
6791You?
6791Your favor?
6791Your prison''s infamy, Hath it despoiled your beauty of its charms?
6791Your uncle?
6791[ And ye have found the means to hide from us Such costly things, and screen them, until now, From our inquiring eyes?]
6791[ Did then Thy people''s loyal fealty await These Guises''approbation?]
6791how shall I begin?
6791that the Guises Will not acknowledge thee as queen?
6791think you so?
6791to what saint shall I address my prayers?
6791what fresh outrage have we here?
6791what glitters here?
6791what see I?
6791when Shall I once more be free upon this throne?
6791who waits?
6791who will save me from his raging madness?
6791why should I deny it?
6791will no God, no angel shelter me?
4596A poor woman, whom-- Ha, where is she?
4596After hearing the trial?
4596Ah, Master Heatherthwayte,said Susan,"should not a man give up the sea when he is a husband and father?"
4596Ah, Master Humfrey, is it in that man''s power that my poor brother lies?
4596Am I a Turk or a Pagan? 4596 Am I a babe to be spared?"
4596Am I going to the Tower?
4596And Antony would have brought this upon us?
4596And Cis-- my sister I mean?
4596And even if she play the princess to me, how will she meet me? 4596 And for her thou wilt endure, if needful, suspicion, danger, exile?"
4596And hap what may,he said,"when a daughter offereth to do her utmost for a mother in peril of death, what right have I to hinder her?"
4596And hath the contract gone no farther?
4596And have you nothing to cross the poor woman''s hand with, fair mistress?
4596And her father?
4596And how many do you think would have followed that same lion?
4596And how think you? 4596 And is she installed in my former rooms, with the canopy over her cradle to befit her strain of royalty?"
4596And is there now no hope?
4596And is this to be done in thine own true name?
4596And it was because you already perceived his villainy?
4596And poor Tony hath brought himself within compass of the law?
4596And still of good courage?
4596And the father?
4596And the letters are no forgery?
4596And the vessel?
4596And the wench, there, what call you her? 4596 And there is no hope of mercy?"
4596And think you that she did?
4596And this is your gratitude to her who helped you to lie in a queen''s bosom; ay, and who could aid you to rise higher or fall lower?
4596And thou couldst not rest secure in the utter impossibility of her being given to him? 4596 And what are these same purposes?"
4596And what became of honest Ailie-- I mean,catching herself up,"what befell those that went with her?"
4596And what can be a better cause than that of the fairest of captive queens?
4596And what like is she in your woman''s eyes? 4596 And what said he?
4596And what said the squire and dame?
4596And what think you was her thought when she found that road closed up?
4596And when fell this out?
4596And wherefore not? 4596 And wherefore not?
4596And wherefore? 4596 And wherefore?"
4596And who are they?
4596And who is to answer that, when once beyond English bounds, she should not stir up more trouble than ever?
4596And who is to be the Queen?
4596And who or where is this same honourable gentleman who brought you up-- Richard Talbot? 4596 And who should it be but one who has both the royal blood of England and Scotland in her veins?
4596And who,asked the lady,"may be yon, with the strangely- plumed hat and long, yellow hair, like a half- tamed Borderer?"
4596And will you let him go on this strange voyage?
4596And would she do this? 4596 And yet thou dost hold her poor mother a guilty woman?"
4596And you give me your word?
4596And you put up with his explanation?
4596And you request license from us to go to the Hague?
4596And you will guard her from him, sir?
4596And you will not tell me wherefore you are thus cruel?
4596And you would still keep the knowledge to ourselves?
4596And, hark thee,said the Queen,"what becomes of the young gallant?"
4596And, sir, what befell the babe we found in our last voyage off the Spurn? 4596 And,"said Richard,"who think you came to see me at Wingfield?
4596Arabella, say you? 4596 Are these her friends?"
4596Are they the judges, Humfrey?
4596Art a Papist?
4596Art thou at thine ease; thy poor shoulder resting well? 4596 Art thou ready to abide it, Master Richard?"
4596Art thou so confident? 4596 As for that,"sighed Cis,"I never know what is sooth here, and what am I save a living lie myself?
4596Ay, and who besides?
4596Ay, but for present plots and intrigues, judge you her a true woman?
4596Ay?
4596Ay?
4596Brother, quotha? 4596 But an if the true Queen be thus mewed up, sir?"
4596But has there been no quest after her? 4596 But how came it about?"
4596But how was it detected and overthrown? 4596 But was she tall?"
4596But where is the princess?
4596But wherefore leave these traitors at large to work mischief?
4596But why should we dally? 4596 But will not these pretty ladies try it?
4596But will thy father consent? 4596 But yonder is a guard at the yard gate; will he let us past?"
4596But you will aid me?
4596By force of arms? 4596 Can there be no secret agents save poor Cuthbert, whom I believe to be beyond seas?"
4596Can you make anything of it?
4596Can your Majesty prove that you knew nothing?
4596Cause, my Lords?
4596Chartley, where is that? 4596 Child,"said the Queen, as she came in,"is thy mind set on wedding an archduke?"
4596Concerns it our Cissy, husband?
4596Deem you then that she hath not worked her own woe?
4596Did he speak of it?
4596Did-- did Tibbott tell you, sir?
4596Do you ever hear of that young Babington, your playfellow?
4596Do you in very deed?
4596Do you trust Langston then?
4596Do_ you_ ask that, Sir Gilbert?
4596Does your grace mean Pool''s Hole?
4596Dost not know her, Langston? 4596 Dost thou bandy words, thou froward imp?"
4596Even when she keeps in durance the Queen, who came as her guest in dire distress?
4596Fie, Humfrey,cried Cis;"would not you dare exile or anything else in a good cause?"
4596For our Queen?
4596From whom came the proposal?
4596Ha, Cuthbert Langston, art thou there?
4596Hast drawn blood? 4596 Hast proved it, good dame?"
4596Hast seen any hobgoblins, Cis?
4596Hast seen him?
4596Hath Sir Ralf Sadler still the charge of her?
4596Hath he left his merchandise at Hull?
4596Hath mother heard this?
4596Hath no one spoken for her?
4596Hath she ever heard more of the fellow?
4596Hath the Queen other schemes for her?
4596Have they escaped?
4596Have you ever seen it, my Lord?
4596Have you lost your way, my pretty mistress?
4596Have you made it out?
4596He wots it, doth he?
4596He?
4596Heh? 4596 His brother''s widow?"
4596Hope, child? 4596 How did she and my Lord Treasurer fare together?"
4596How did you hear?
4596How does my mother?
4596How doth my Lady Countess take that?
4596How got the imps such knowledge?
4596How is the Queen to know of her friends if we name them not to her?
4596How know you that?
4596How long is it since this pledge, as thou callest it, was given?
4596How now, sir?
4596How now? 4596 How now?"
4596How say you, my Lord? 4596 How say you, my Lord?"
4596How shall I thank you, gracious Queen?
4596How so?
4596How so?
4596How soon canst thou have speech with him?
4596How was it? 4596 How, sir?"
4596How, sirrah? 4596 How?"
4596How?
4596Humfrey,said his brother, riding nearer to him,"did he not call that fellow in black, Langston?"
4596I have known all that these two years; but what has that to do with my love?
4596I marvel whether he hath really learnt who our Cis can be?
4596I marvel who I am?
4596I pray, then, how suits it with the boasted loyalty of your house that this brother of yours should have wedded the maid?
4596I trust that Antony knew not of the wickedness?
4596If he be secret, must not I be the same?
4596Is Humfrey come?
4596Is Mr. Secretary Walsingham one of the judges here?
4596Is all well with my good father- in- law?
4596Is all well with you?
4596Is he so? 4596 Is it fair engrossed, good Curll?"
4596Is it matter of great moment, Dick?
4596Is it not so?
4596Is it so sure that her royal lineage will be owned?
4596Is it true,he added,"that the woman hath laid claim to the young lady now here as a kinswoman?"
4596Is it true? 4596 Is it what I have felt with my fingers?"
4596Is she safe?
4596Is that Will Cavendish? 4596 Is there then no hope?"
4596Is this Maude, or Langston, such a cur?
4596Is this bonnie laddie yours, madam? 4596 Is this my last journey?"
4596Is this your treatment of your guest, Humfrey? 4596 Is what this fellow guessed the very truth?"
4596It does not matter,said Humfrey,"you are just the same to us, is she not, mother?"
4596It is true,said Richard,"but how hath it come to your knowledge, my good friend?
4596It is well if treason against my good sister''s person have been detected and frustrated,said Mary;"but how doth that concern me?"
4596Know''st thou aught of our father and mother?
4596Laugh, ay,growled the Earl;"and how will you laugh when there is not a deer left in the park, nor an ox in the stalls?"
4596Lives he still?
4596Maude,repeated Humfrey,"Was that man''s name Maude?
4596May I ask,demanded Bellievre, waving a scented handkerchief,"what her Highness is prepared to say, in case I have to confirm it?"
4596Mean you, then, to adopt her into your family?
4596Methought I heard a fresh stir in the Castle; who is arrived?
4596Might he not interpret it?
4596Might not the occasion have been used for corresponding in secret with French friends?
4596Mindst thou not the day when I crossed her hand with the tester father gave me?
4596Mother, I would that I could go to her; Humfrey has seen and spoken to her, why should not I?
4596Mother, why did you not let me watch with you?
4596Mother,she said, as they went home on their quiet mules,"are great ladies always so rudely spoken to one another?"
4596My good cousin,he asked,"what means this broil between the lads?
4596Nay, Mr. Talbot, is it well to go on in a deceit?
4596Nay, Sir Minister, what doth a sailor put his trust in but his God foremost, and then his good ship and his brave men?
4596Nay, but hear what saith the child?
4596Nay, but is it so?
4596Nay, didst not once tell me of a betrothal now many years ago? 4596 Nay, dost not ken what is in view for me?"
4596Nay, lad, what saith the Scripture,''Judge not, and ye shall not be judged''? 4596 Nay, madam, may not a babe''s gentle deed of pity be pardoned?"
4596Nay,cried Cis,"what should I do?
4596No chance eye could read it even were it discovered?
4596No harm will come to them in the end,he said,"but what can we do?
4596No one hath said thou wert false in word, but how as to thy deed?
4596No? 4596 Nor to Antony?"
4596Not even their wives?
4596Not for all that search of yours at Chartley?
4596Not thy true birth, child?
4596Not to mother?
4596O mother, how can you ask?
4596Oh, dear mother, thou wilt not tell any one how faint of heart I am? 4596 Oh, mother, mother, how have I displeased him?"
4596On my faith, what has she done to thee? 4596 On your duty to your Queen, is she what she called herself?"
4596Only, madam, who was it that told your Grace that I was a stranger?
4596Risk even the Queen''s life?
4596Said I so? 4596 Said you that you read the cipher?"
4596Saw you Antony Babington?
4596Saw you no sign of the crew?
4596See you not, you simple Humfrey, that, as I said methinks some time since, it is well sometimes to give a rogue rope enough and he will hang himself? 4596 See,"said Mrs. Kennedy,"who is that burly figure with the black eyes and grizzled beard?"
4596Seen, quoth the lady?
4596Seest thou this?
4596Shall I see my little Cis?
4596Shall I see you again, Humfrey?
4596Shall we ask Master Heatherthwayte? 4596 Shall we then keep all things as they are, and lock this knowledge in our own hearts?"
4596She brought you fair fortune once; how know you but she can bring you more?
4596She is a good girl,said Susan,"but--""What has the foolish wife to object now?"
4596She sends her deep and humble thanks, madam, for the honour your Majesty intended her, but she--"How now? 4596 Should they not be shown to my lord, or to her Grace''s Council?"
4596Sir, do you give me your word for that?
4596Sir, do you remember your old servant Colet, Gervas''s wife? 4596 Sir, how could a man brook seeing that fellow on his knee to her?
4596So Martin is at Hull, is he?
4596So please you, madam, my mother--"Eh? 4596 So saith he?"
4596So, Master Babington, I find you have been betraying the trust I placed in you--"What, trust, my Lord?
4596Some gentlemen?
4596Tell me, hath he heard aught of this gear? 4596 Tell me, lady, who hath charge of the Queen''s buttery?
4596That letter which her Grace was about to write yesterday?
4596The Scottish archer?
4596The brother of the minion Leicester?
4596The child died in it?
4596The fox, say you, sir? 4596 Then Dethick will be forfeited?"
4596Then it is true, father?
4596Then there are other practices?
4596Then there is a plot?
4596Then thou holdest her innocent?
4596Then what means this passion?
4596Then why should these men have been sent but to sting and gall me, and make me feel that I am in their power?
4596Then will you not consent, mother? 4596 Then you would not grant him your recommendation?"
4596Then, hath not my lord put a stop to the whole?
4596There is no fear-- Humfrey, have you heard aught?
4596There is one question I would fain ask, Madam mother: Doth my real father yet live? 4596 Thinkest thou that she hath tampered with-- with that poor maiden''s faith?"
4596Thou art pledged, then, and canst not falter?
4596Thou dost pity that poor lady, sweet one? 4596 Thou hast counted the cost?"
4596Thou hast seen her?
4596Thou wilt not write again?
4596Thy father, child?
4596Thy father? 4596 To Antony?
4596To the Queen of Scots?
4596Tush, woman, what of that? 4596 Verily, sir?"
4596Was he so?
4596Was it by ring or token?
4596Was that in the cipher?
4596Was there matter in that scroll?
4596Well, what is the defence you would have me confine myself to, my sole privy counsellors?
4596What are copies worth, or what are dead and tortured men''s confessions worth?
4596What are they about to represent? 4596 What are you doing with those gentlemen?"
4596What burnished splendour dazzles my weak sight? 4596 What care I what I suffer for such a Queen?"
4596What colour can you give to thus hiding one who might, forsooth, claim royal blood, tainted though it be?
4596What else came I to London for?
4596What have you seen, good man?
4596What is it that you apprehend?
4596What is it, child?
4596What is it, mignonne,said Mary, kindly;"is the whelp dead?
4596What is it? 4596 What is this?
4596What is this?
4596What knowest thou of them?
4596What knoweth he of this Langston, as thou callest him?
4596What like was the woman?
4596What mean you? 4596 What mean you?"
4596What mean''st thou? 4596 What means the wench?
4596What means this?
4596What news, Nathanael?
4596What of that, mignonne?
4596What of that? 4596 What of that?"
4596What packet?
4596What put that folly into his head?
4596What said he?
4596What think you she hath fixed on as the name of the poor puling babe yonder? 4596 What vantage or what thing Gett''st thou thus for to sting, Thou false and flatt''ring liar?
4596What woman?
4596What would be the use of it, child? 4596 What would she have?"
4596What?
4596Where is he lying?
4596Where thinkest thou? 4596 Where was I?
4596Where wast thou, Dick? 4596 Where, sir?"
4596Where, then, are my women and my servants?
4596Where? 4596 Where?"
4596Wherefore is this little army raised?
4596Wherefore not? 4596 Wherefore should I beat her, save for doing errands that yonder lad should have known better than to thrust on her?"
4596Who are they?
4596Who brought it?
4596Who can read it, for us?
4596Who dares link the word traitor with my name?
4596Who is he? 4596 Who is his wife?"
4596Who is she, then?
4596Who knows how they might play on his honour as to talebearing? 4596 Who spoke of hurting the foolish wench?"
4596Who would set him on?
4596Who? 4596 Whom can she intend to bring?"
4596Whose wits would not be perturbed at the mere sight of such exquisite beauty?
4596Why look you so sadly at me, sweet mother?
4596Why, do none know here that King James is in the hands of him they call the Master of Gray?
4596Why-- why may not the dear good Queen give me her dainty gifts?
4596Will Mrs. Talbot pardon our riding- boots?
4596Will not your Majesty hear it read over ere it pass out of your hands?
4596Will you dare the lair of the conquered foe, or fear you to be pinched with aches and pains by his lurking hobgoblins? 4596 Will you not write this to her?"
4596Will you take me, sir?
4596Will you taste it, sir?
4596Will your Majesty enter?
4596Wot you that he was once our spy?
4596Wot you who the maid may be, madam?
4596Would it serve you to read our scroll?
4596Wretch,said Paulett,"wouldst thou confound private murder with the open judgment of God and man?"
4596Yet can it not be sooth indeed?
4596Yet doth it not behove us to endeavour to find out her parentage?
4596You are sure they are not Minos and Rhadamanthus, sir? 4596 You assure me?"
4596You deem the matter so certain?
4596You here still, Humfrey? 4596 You knew it?"
4596You owe nothing, quoth my mistress? 4596 You promise, Humfrey?"
4596You refused the fellow of course?
4596You saw him, Susan?
4596You say not so, Mistress Barbara?
4596You will not beat Cis, father?
4596You will not remove your son likewise?
4596You would not give the child to him if she were your own?
4596You would not have me part with the poor little one?
4596''Tis a letter from Bernardo de Mendoza with a proposition for whose hand thinkest thou?
4596A Popish relic, is it not?
4596A maid, is it?
4596Am I to be taken to the Tower?"
4596Am I to take it on thy word, girl?"
4596Anan?"
4596And could I trust thee to go wandering to London, like a maiden in a ballad, all alone?"
4596And didst thou know, thou simple lad, what the letter bore, which thou didst carry, and what it would bring on this peaceful land?"
4596And how does the good lady, your wife, and my sweet playfellow, your daughter?"
4596And if he let his faith slip, how should he meet his father again?
4596And my doo-- my little Cis, did she weep as became a sister for the bold laddies?"
4596And our Cis too?
4596And pray how much an ell was yonder broidered stuff?"
4596And what is her house to be preferred to mine?"
4596And what saith thy good father, my Humfrey?"
4596And what would become of herself?
4596And who may this your true love be?"
4596And why these tears?
4596And why?
4596And yet was it wholly as a Roman Catholic that she had been hated, intrigued against, and deposed in her own kingdom?
4596And you would see your sister, sir?
4596And, verily, what is it but her duty to obey her mother, her true and veritable mother, Humfrey?
4596Are not we well guarded, not having one man with a sword near me?"
4596Are the Catholics of Derby in the saddle?
4596Are the ships on the coast?"
4596Are they not Papists?"
4596Are they to be in Latin, Humfrey?"
4596Art afraid to dare the black river?"
4596As before, she shared the Queen''s chamber, and there it was that Mary asked her,"Well, mignonne, and how fares it with thine ardent suitor?
4596Ay, and from whom?
4596Ay, and of all the endearments to Leicester and to Hatton?
4596Ay, and this brother of thine, what hath he got with this wife of his but banishment and dread of his own land?"
4596Babington?"
4596Backing Babington and banishing Talbot?
4596Because he is too much inclined to the poor prisoner and her faith?
4596Buckhurst?
4596But how could they let it go so near?
4596But how did you learn it?
4596But how now?
4596But how was it, child?"
4596But how would it be with Cicely?
4596But to her surprise at night Mary addressed her again,"My daughter, did that true- hearted foster- father of thine speak in sooth?"
4596But who comes here?"
4596But,"continued the honest, but tactless man,"who could have thought of the like of that, and that the pretty maid never knew it?
4596Can she have ought against me?--I, your son, sir, of the Talbot blood, and not ill endowed?"
4596Can they call it treason?"
4596Canst keep counsel?"
4596Canst thou conceive wherefore he doth it?
4596Cavendish gave his head a shake that expressed unutterable things, saying:"Your kinsman, said you?
4596Child, Cicely, where art thou?
4596Cicely looked at Humfrey with widely- opened eyes, and the half- breathed question,"What does it mean?"
4596Cis smirked, and held out a hand, saying in an affected tone,"Lord Earl, are thy wits astray?"
4596Come you next, fair mistress?"
4596Come, what say you to eggs and bacon, madam?"
4596Darest thou beard me-- me?"
4596Did he believe that Antony ever had communication with her or her people unheard by others?
4596Did he intend to make profit of it and obtain in the poor girl a subject for further intrigue?
4596Did he look sour at her and frighten her with his ugsome beard?"
4596Did he send no word to me, dear father?"
4596Did he suspect that the whistle came from the Queen of Scots?
4596Did not that crafty villain Langston utter some sort of warning which I spurned, knowing the Bridgefield trustiness and good faith?
4596Did she not hold the heart of every loyal Englishman by an invisible rein?
4596Didst get into trouble, child?
4596Didst say that he rode with thee?"
4596Didst thou really not know what marks thou bearest, little one?"
4596Do I see her here?"
4596Do they deem her lost?"
4596Do you doubt whether your wife have rank enough to wait on the Queen?
4596Do you know to whom you speak?
4596Do you see old Will yonder, Cicely, just within Mr. Secretary''s call-- with the poke of papers and the tablet?"
4596Dost not see, mine honest Humfrey, that''s the very point that fits him for our purpose?"
4596Dost see, my boy?"
4596Doth my husband know?"
4596Doth she seek to take thee into her own keeping?"
4596Doth thy father-- what am I saying?
4596Else, why should he have thrust himself in for a hurt that women- folk had far better have tended?
4596Fears she to come, or has she sent no message nor letter?"
4596For the other practices, they are none of mine, and is it not written''In the same pit which they laid privily is their foot taken''?"
4596Fortune had favoured him, for a voice demanded in return,"Do I hear the voice of good Captain Talbot?
4596Had he not given up all for her?
4596Had you seen him since you have been here?"
4596Hark, what is that in the street?
4596Has the leech let blood to thy good- mother, Susan?
4596Hast been sick?"
4596Hast seen them?"
4596Hast thou had a letter from thy father?"
4596Hath Babington spoken sooth?"
4596Hath Babington won him over; or is it for thy sake, child?
4596Hath he any marriage in view for her?
4596Hath he not already practised against my life and that of my son?"
4596Hath none of you faith in your love?
4596Have I not been conducted through it by Dr. Jones, and there writ my name for his delectation?
4596Have the English been found so deficient in spirit compared with other nations?"
4596Have the Southron loons chilled thine heart and made thee no leal to thine ain mother that hath hungered for thee?"
4596Have the sorrows of her house come on her?"
4596Have you brought the lady?"
4596Have you not seen him and had speech with him in many strange shapes?
4596Have you not sworn obedience to me?"
4596Have you, mother?
4596He caught the hand on the balusters, and cried,"My princess, my princess, and art thou doing this for me?"
4596He knoweth us far better than doth Sir Ralf Sadler; doth he not know we are here?"
4596He looked crestfallen, and she began,--"Well, sir?
4596He met Susan coming down, asking anxiously,"Is she sick?"
4596He was just about to begin when Antony broke in,"Then, sir, you do deem it a great wrong?"
4596Her judges?
4596His hand was healing all too fast, and what might not come any day from London?
4596How befell it, dost thou ask?
4596How came he to blunder out such tidings to thee?"
4596How could she have gone such a distance in the time?
4596How could we sleep there?"
4596How do they?"
4596How fares he?
4596How fareth she in health, wench?"
4596How have I included them in what I have told her Majesty of our sweet Countess?"
4596How is my Lord''s page to show himself at Chatsworth to- morrow with such an eye?
4596How knowest thou?"
4596How long hath she been so thick with her?"
4596How long will it take me to polish away the dulness of thy clownish contact?"
4596How much more did Langston guess?
4596How much was it, Andrew?"
4596How now,"at some sound below, springing to the little window and flinging it back,"you lazy idle wenches-- what are you doing there?
4596How precise and stiff he hath grown, and why doth he not look up and greet us?
4596How say you, my Lord, may I have this maiden for my warder at night?"
4596How should I know what hath passed seventeen years back in Scotland?"
4596How should she?"
4596How will it be now when she has been for well- nigh a year in this Queen''s training?
4596How, then, should any sins of this poor Queen withhold her daughter from rendering her all the succour in her power?
4596Humfrey stared at him, and muttered an ejaculation, then exclaimed,"How and when was this known?"
4596Humfrey, what think''st thou that Mr. Langston meant?
4596I made bold to say,''And Master Richard, your worship?''
4596I trust not on the Talbot side of the house?"
4596If the Mastiff were in, would not Gervas have long ago brought her the tidings?
4596In hiding?
4596Is all told?"
4596Is he as good scholar as ever?"
4596Is he to die for his faith and honour?"
4596Is it Ephraim?
4596Is it Hebe descended to this earth?"
4596Is it a second Juno that I behold, or lovely Venus herself?
4596Is it as Cis would have me believe, a mere childish quarrel that I may pass over?
4596Is it faithful old Halbert as at Sheffield?"
4596Is it in the scroll?"
4596Is it not enough to be debarred from my sweet princess myself, but I must see her beset by a Papist and traitor, fostered and encouraged too?"
4596Is it not so, sweetheart?"
4596Is it of the child?"
4596Is it only that she is grim and ugly?"
4596Is it out of a romaunt?"
4596Is it so, sir?"
4596Is it so?
4596Is it so?
4596Is it too late?"
4596Is it true that my father is come?
4596Is it you, good Master Heatherthwayte?"
4596Is my work to stand still while you are toying with yon vile whelp?
4596Is she too great a fool to accept of it?"
4596Is that all thou hast to tell me?
4596Is the fellow of that sort?
4596Is the lass your ain bairn?
4596Is the little Arbell come back with them?"
4596Is there no trust implied in the coming and going of one of my household, when such a charge is committed to me and mine?"
4596Is there not a surer and more lasting cure for all my ills in preparation?
4596Is this thy lesson?"
4596Is this true?"
4596Is this your Religio Catholica?
4596Is''t she?"
4596Knew you not how to send up to the castle for Master Drewitt?
4596Know you not how incensed she is?
4596Know you not, father, those proud and gay ones, with rose- coloured bladders and long blue beards-- blue as the azure of a herald''s coat?"
4596Knows she what she says, Susan Talbot?"
4596Let no one know of it, or of the trinket-- Thou hast them safe?"
4596Lord Shrewsbury took the petition from him, glanced it over, and asked,"Who knew the Guy Norman who sent it?"
4596Madame, how does my doo?''
4596Mais que voulez vous?"
4596Master Beatoun, hast thou my purse?
4596Master Belton, saying,"What say you, sir?"
4596Master Curll, will you try the venture?"
4596Master Talbot, how is this?
4596May I carry the tidings to her?
4596May I not seek the Queen at once, without waiting for this French gentleman?
4596Mayhap the young gentlewoman will restore it?"
4596Methought I heard sounds of chiding?"
4596Might not he crave permission to take her home, that is, if she will leave your Grace?"
4596Moreover, even when the moment of freedom strikes, who knows that to find her of their own religion may not win us favour with the English?"
4596Moreover, he would have the present pleasure of taking her home with him to his Susan, and who could say what would happen in the meantime?
4596Moreover, what could she do with the poor child?"
4596Must they attaint me as a woman?
4596Must we speak of her as a stranger?"
4596My obolus is ready; shall I put it in my mouth?"
4596Nay, how could I ask God Almighty to bless my doing with a lie in my mouth?"
4596No man, said you, father?
4596Not by her fault, poor wench, but what hope canst thou have, my son?"
4596Not our Cis?"
4596Not to one who saw you, a drenched babe, brought in from the wreck, and who gave the sign which has raised you to your present honours?
4596O madam, what thanks will be worthy of such a grace?"
4596O mother, is it sooth?
4596Oh, is it coming on thee?
4596Oh, surely, he is not in your secrets, madam, my mother, after that day at Tutbury?"
4596Oh, what is it, madam?"
4596Oh, why, why did the doom spare me that took my little brothers?
4596Or what right have we to make away with the little one''s property?"
4596Or would her mother carry her off to these strange lands?....
4596Remember you all the tales of the nips and the pinches?
4596Richard Talbot,"was his salutation,"what''s the coil now?
4596Richard made a sign of affirmation, saying,"Is it only a guess on his part?"
4596Sayest thou so?
4596Secretary?"
4596Shall I propose thine instead?"
4596She could hear his longing in the very sound of the"Ays?"
4596She or I, she or I must die; and which is best for England and the faith?
4596Should she fail in patience because his ship tarried awhile?
4596Should she look over the balcony only to be disappointed again?
4596Show how she treats her ladies--""Who will be her lady?
4596So he began to say that if I were favourable-- Mother, do men always do like that?"
4596So he was too hot a lover for Master Humfrey''s notions, eh?"
4596So-- here is Charon once more-- must I lie down?"
4596Something?
4596Susan took courage to ask; but the Scotswoman would not be disconcerted, and replied,"How suld I ken without a sight of the tokens?
4596Talbot?"
4596Talbot?"
4596Talbot?"
4596Tell me, Numps, what is it?"
4596Tell me, child, if thou be not forbidden, hath she any purpose for thee?"
4596Tell me, is this suit on his part made to your daughter or to the Scottish orphan?"
4596Tell me, my maid, was not she good to thee?
4596Tell me-- what like is the child?
4596That is-- so far as I see-- like not to be till latter Lammas-- but meantime what sayest thou, Susan?
4596The first glance Cicely encountered was one of utter amazement and wrath, as the Queen exclaimed,"Whom have you brought hither, Messieurs?"
4596The letter is at the bottom of the Castle well; is it not, mignonne?
4596The question was first put to Ballard, Was he guilty of these treasons or not guilty?
4596The son, I think, of good Master Richard Talbot of Bridgefield?
4596The young lady-- where is she?"
4596Then followed a pause, and then Cis said in a low trembling voice,"And it was from the wreck of the Bride of Dunbar that I was taken?"
4596Then, on a further question, she proceeded,"Has her ladyship never heard of the Ebbing Well that shows whether true love is soothfast?"
4596There was a pause, and then, as if she had begun to take in the import of Humfrey''s words, she added,"What said you?
4596There was plenty of time for Antony to begin with,"Are there as many conies as ever in the chase?"
4596They are no subjects for this real world of ours; are they not rather swains in my poor Philip Sidney''s Arcadia?
4596Think you,"she added, turning to Walsingham,"think you, Mr. Secretary, that I am ignorant of your devices used so craftily against me?
4596Think, lady, if you were shut up from your children and friends, would you not seek to send tidings to them?"
4596Thou hast seen it?"
4596Thou heedest me, wife?"
4596Thy name is not Cis, is it?
4596To look across at him and know him near often seemed her best support, and was she to be cut off from him for ever?
4596Was Queen Mary''s last conquest to be that of Humfrey Talbot?
4596Was he very pressing?"
4596Was he waiting for clear proof to make the secret known to the Council?
4596Was it a jewel of gold?
4596Was it simply as a Roman Catholic that she was, as she said, the subject of a more cruel plot than that of which she was accused?
4596Was it so, sir?"
4596Was it through Langston?"
4596Was not her favour their dream and their reward?
4596Was she making him value duty less?
4596Was she not indeed the cynosure of all the realm?
4596Was she to be left to all the insults that the malice of her persecutor could devise?
4596Well, and how fares Sir Francis?
4596Were it not better that I stole her safely away and wedded her in secret, so that at least she might have an honest husband?"
4596Were none like to be saved?"
4596Were there any Englishmen there besides Richard Talbot and his son who felt the pathos of this appeal?
4596Were there, then, fresh letters of that unfortunate lady in his hands, or were any to be searched for and captured?
4596Were they false or genuine?
4596Were they the same?"
4596Wha gave her till you to keep?
4596What are you calling these honours to my orphan princess?"
4596What are you tarrying for?
4596What art thou pondering?"
4596What can I do?"
4596What cared I for their names?
4596What complexion doth she promise?"
4596What didst thou say of her?
4596What garred the silly loon call in the young leddy ere he kenned whether she wad keep counsel?"
4596What has he to do with it?
4596What have you done?"
4596What is it all about?"
4596What is it?
4596What is it?
4596What is it?
4596What is it?"
4596What is that?
4596What like is she?
4596What matters it how they do the deed on which they are bent?
4596What more would you have of me?"
4596What saidst thou of Tibbott?"
4596What say you, dame?
4596What sayest thou to thy token now?
4596What shall I do with him?
4596What think you of this for a toy?"
4596What think you, daughter Talbot?"
4596What was to be done?
4596What were her wares, saidst thou?"
4596What will he say when we bring him a sister as well as a mother?
4596What would English or Scots say to find thee a household Joan, wedded to one of Drake''s rude pirate fellows?
4596What wouldst say if thine own mother were to ratify it?"
4596What''s this I hear, Humfrey, that you have been playing the champion, and getting wounded in the defence?"
4596What, Cis, child, art quaking?"
4596What, is it so?
4596What, mignonne, art thou weeping?
4596What?
4596What?"
4596When is she looked for here again?"
4596Where can she have hidden herself?"
4596Where is Cicely?
4596Where is Ned?"
4596Where is he, the young traitor?"
4596Where is the Queen of Scots?"
4596Where is the elder?"
4596Where should she be but here?
4596Where was he?
4596Wherefore can not the woman speak truth to me?
4596Wherefore do the children call her a witch?
4596Wherefore hold back while still in your prime?"
4596Wherefore not, when he carried my Lady Countess''s messages?"
4596Who art thou, sir?"
4596Who hath seen them?"
4596Who is it?
4596Who is she, Master Gilbert?"
4596Who told thee that I had consented?"
4596Who told thee, Humfrey?"
4596Who was it who arrived to- night?"
4596Who was it?"
4596Who would be permitted to witness the trial?
4596Whom did I see following you?"
4596Why can thy kind never let well alone?
4596Why did I live to be the most wretched, not of sovereigns alone, but of women?"
4596Why should I concern myself about poor Antony and his five gentlemen?
4596Why was it not provided?
4596Why, my master, what harm think you it will do to us in my dame''s casket?
4596Will it please you to fall to?
4596Will it please you to open my own chambers to me, sir?"
4596Will none of you come on?
4596Will you have a tuft from a beaver to stop the blood?"
4596Will you try the well, your Grace?"
4596Wilt come and comfort a poor prisoner, little sweeting?"
4596Wilt thou give me one of thy kisses, sweet bairnie?"
4596Wilt thou stoop to come and cheer the poor old caged bird?"
4596Wilt thou take her, Humfrey, and with her, all the inheritance of peril and sorrow that dogs our unhappy race?"
4596Would he not do anything for her?
4596Would her Grace hear it?"
4596Would not he find a comforter in sweet Mistress-- ah, what was her name?
4596Would she be detained in the bondage in which the poor sisters of the Grey blood had been kept?
4596Would she look at my poor wares?
4596Would the lady really sleep with her in her little bed?
4596Wouldst guess it to be of gentle, or of clownish blood, if women can tell such things?"
4596Yonder modest, shamefast maiden, of such seemly carriage and gentle speech?"
4596You remember the decoy for the wild- fowl?
4596You take me, sir?"
4596You will let no one guess?
4596am not I myself in Walsingham''s confidence?
4596and have I lost all these hours of you?"
4596and how would it be with my father-- Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, I mean?"
4596and is it Humfrey Talbot to whom I owe my life?
4596and she knew the eager eyes, and exclaimed under her breath,"Antony, you here?
4596and you reckon it no harm that thy father and mother were left to a set of feckless, brainless, idle serving- men and maids in their trouble?
4596asked Humfrey, with a thrill of horror,"is she sentenced?"
4596asked Susan, amazed,"do you think her guiltless in the matter?"
4596but how?
4596but,"said Cicely,"did not yonder woman with the beads and bracelets bid him look?"
4596cried Cicely,"who is yonder, with the short cloak standing on end with pearls, and the quilted satin waistcoat, jewelled ears, and frizzed head?
4596cried Cis, affrighted;"is there anything on my back?
4596cried Humfrey,"who think you is at Hull?
4596cried the sailor,"what have I done?
4596foolish youth, to whom should I be merciful since the man is dead?
4596has she signed the warrant?
4596have we not, madam?"
4596how can you speak patiently of such profanation and cruelty?
4596how could they be so cruel?
4596husband, is she worthy, for whom the child is thus to lead you into peril?"
4596is his heart still set on this poor maid?"
4596is it not so with all of us?
4596is it some order for saying mass,--or to get some new Popish image or a skein of silk?
4596know you not?
4596murmured Cis;"when shall I see her again?"
4596my Lady Countess is it, bent on making her match her own way?
4596or is the clasp broken?"
4596or what is this packet?"
4596said Antony, with a long breath, as though making a discovery,"sits the wind in that quarter?"
4596said Paulett,"what hast thou to say for thyself that I should not hang thee from the highest tower?"
4596said Richard,"and how long hast thou known this?"
4596said Susan,"would it be well for the sweet babe if her Majesty''s messengers, who be so often at the castle, were to report her so lodged?"
4596said the Queen,"how should not my heart fail me when I think of the many high spirits who have fallen for my sake?
4596she said, with a little terrified sound of conviction, then added,"What thought you of Master Babington?"
4596sighed Babington,"is there no hope for him-- he who has done naught but guard too faithfully my unhappy secret?
4596sir,"said Cicely,"how can I give you false hopes?"
4596starting, silly maid?
4596thou art not breaking thine heart over yonder Scottish lady-- when we are going home, home, I say, and have got rid of watch and ward for ever?
4596thou hast not laid this scroll before him?"
4596was ever man so cruelly deceived as me?"
4596was it for her good?
4596what fair thing was that at the lady''s throat?
4596what hast thou done?
4596why must jealousy mar the fondest affection?
4596will it last out my life?
4596wilt thou duck her for a witch?
4596you have said so ten thousand times, and what charge has ever been dropped?"
