Scene 5

Scaena 5. (Another part of the same.)

[Enter the Queenes with the Hearses of their Knightes, in a

Funerall Solempnity, &c.]

Vrnes and odours bring away,

Vapours, sighes, darken the day;

Our dole more deadly lookes than dying;

Balmes, and Gummes, and heavy cheeres,

Sacred vials fill'd with teares,

And clamors through the wild ayre flying.

Come all sad and solempne Showes,

That are quick-eyd pleasures foes;

We convent nought else but woes.

We convent, &c.

3. QUEEN.

This funeral path brings to your housholds grave:

Ioy ceaze on you againe: peace sleepe with him.

2. QUEEN.

And this to yours.

1. QUEEN.

Yours this way: Heavens lend

A thousand differing waies to one sure end.

3. QUEEN.

This world's a Citty full of straying Streetes,

And Death's the market place, where each one meetes. [Exeunt

severally.]
