Chapter 15

GRILLON, LARCHANT, _Soldiers placed, People crowding_

_Gril._ Are your guards doubled, captain?

_Larch._ Sir, they are.

_Gril._ When the Guise comes, remember your petition.-- Make way there for his eminence; give back.-- Your eminence comes late.

_Enter two Cardinals, Counsellors, the Cardinal of_ GUISE, _Arch-bishop of Lyons, last the_ GUISE.

_Gui._ Well, colonel, are we friends?

_Gril._ 'Faith, I think not.

_Gui._ Give me your hand.

_Gril._ No, for that gives a heart.

_Gui._ Yet we shall clasp in heaven.

_Gril._ By heaven, we shall not, Unless it be with gripes.

_Gui._ True Grillon still.

_Larch._ My lord.

_Gui._ Ha! captain, you are well attended: If I mistake not, sir, your number's doubled.

_Larch._ All these have served against the heretics; And therefore beg your grace you would remember Their wounds and lost arrears[21].

_Gui._ It shall be done.-- Again, my heart! there is a weight upon thee, But I will sigh it off.--Captain, farewell. [_Exeunt Cardinal,_ GUISE, _&c._

_Gril._ Shut the hall-door, and bar the castle-gates: March, march there closer yet, captain, to the door. [_Exeunt._
