Scene 2.
The Factions and divisions that are in this Kingdome will be a means to deliver it into the power of the Enemy.
This Duke is young, wild, deboist and inconstant, wherefore there is but little hopes it should be better governed.
But the Dutchess who is the true owner of it, is discreet, wise, and virtuous, and having more years than he, she might help to rule and or∣der state affairs.
But neither her discretion, wisdome, nor virtue hath power, for marriage hath inthralled her, for she is become her Husbands Slave, who ought to be his Soveraign, but he laughs and doth despise her, because she is somewhat elder than himself.
Heaven will revenge her wrongs.
