Scene 8.
Enter the Unfortunate Dutchess, and her Woman.
VVOman.
Your Highness bears afflictions more couragiously than I thought your Highness would have done.
Unfortunate Dutchess.
Truly, I find I am more happy since I am amongst my Enemies (if they may be termed so) than I was in my own Country with an unkind Husband: for they allow me a Noble and Princely Pension: and I live Free, Easily and Peaceably, which I did not before.
Woman.
I hear your Sister is marryed to the Dukes Brother.
Unf. Dutchess.
I wish she may be more happy with her Husband, than I have been with mine.
Woman.
If they have Children, and your Highness none, they will be Heirs to the Dukedom.
Unf. Dutchess.
They will so, but there is no Dukedom now to heir, 'tis made now a Province.
Woman.
But times may change.
Exeunt.
