Scene 18.
Enter two Gentlemen.
1. GEentleman.

The Miracle is deceas'd, the Lady Sanspareile I hear i dead.

2. Gent.

Yes, and it's reported her Statue shall be set up in every College, and in the most publick places in the City, at the publick charge; and the Queen will build a Sumptuous and Glorious Tomb on her sleeping Ashes.

1. Gent.

She deserves more than can be given her.

2. Gent.

I hear her death hath made her Father mad.

1. Gent.

Though her death hath not made every one mad like her Father, yet it hath made every one melancholy; for I never saw so general a sadness in my life.

2. Gent.

There is nothing moves the mind to sadnesse, more than when Death devouts Youth, Beauty, Wit, and Virtue all at once.
