Scene 11.
We have reason to weep: for you, my Children, have lost a good Mother, and I a loving Wife, and her servants a kind Lady; but we cannot alter Heavens Decrees: wherefore we must take comfort in what is, and not grieve for what cannot be helpt: And now, Daughter Sprightly, you must be as my Wife, Friend, and Daughter all in one: for as your Mo∣ther did, when she had health, govern my Family, so must you now she is dead; and you must take care of your young Brothers and Sisters, and Hea∣ven will reward thee with a good Husband and Children of your own: And as for her Maid here, who hath taken great pains all the time of your Mo∣thers sickness, ought to be rewarded for her care: wherefore, Daughter, let her wait upon you, as she did upon your Mother.
I thank your Lordship.
