Scene 4.
Enter the Unfortunate Dutchess, and her Woman; then enters another as running in haste.
1 WOman.

O Madam, Madam, news is come that the Enemy hath got into the heart of the Kingdome; wherefore sweet Lady fly, for they will possess themselves of this City soon.

Unfortunate Dutchess.

I will not fly, for I cannot meet a worse Enemy than the Duke himself, should worse than Mankind Conquer it; but I wish my Sister were safe.

Woman.

The young Princess I hear is fled to the Dukes Brother.

Unfortunate Dutchess.

I am glad of it, for he is discreetly temperate, al∣though his Brother is not.

Exeunt.
