Scene 34.

Enter two Gentlemen.

1 GEnt.

You here the match is concluded betwixt the Emperors Daughter and our Prince.

2 Gent.

Yes, and I hear that the Lord Dorato was a great Instrument to help the match forward.

1 Gent.

Methinks they should need no other Instrument to forward the match than the Princes interest.

2 Gent.

'Tis true: but the Princes affection being placed upon another Lady, it was hard first to draw off those affections, and then to place them anew; besides, the Death of his Neece was some hinderance.

1 Gent.

All great Princes doe soon cast off all Funeral sadness: but the Lord Dorato methinks takes the Death of his Daughter to heart.

2 Gent.

'Tis a doubt whether he will continue in such great favour with the Prince, now his Neece is dead.

1 Gent.

There is no likelyhood he should be in less favour since the Prin∣cess Death, for it was the favour he had with the Princess that caused the match with his Son; besides he hath left a Son, which the Prince no doubt will favour the Grandfather the more, for the Childes sake.

2 Gent.

I wonder whether the Lord Melancholy the Princesses Husband will marry again, for he had ill fortune with his Wives.

1 Gent.

Methinks he hath had good Fortune, for the Laws have quitted him of one, and Death of the other; but that Husband hath ill fortune, that neither Law nor Death will free him from.

Exeunt.
