52 Of this Castelvin's mournful death. Her servant here affirms the truth of all The lady hath set forth.

Duke. Thy counsel doth command our thoughts.

Captain. Give me thy edict sign'd and seal'd, that I On pain of death may quell aught leading to a fray.

Duke. Anon it shall be done.

Captain. And ere thy will be noised abroad, Let a strong guard attend, and aid To give this Montes choice of Rome, Of Milan, or of Venice as a home.

Roselo. Most noble Duke, no need of guard, Mine honour doth command that I obey.

Duke. With all this tumult now so hot, 'Twere wise to be discreet. Go, Lady Julia, And we greet you well; Roselo Montes shall To our palace hie as honour'd guest.

Julia. Oh that kind heaven now Would drag my saddened soul from out This earthly prison where 'tis chain'd.

Duke. Unto our palace then, till all In order of equipment be.

Roselo. As willing slave, where'er thou wilt.

Julia. Come, Celia, come, and quickly too, Lest grief and shame shall hold me in such train, Where modest maiden dare not safely long remain.

Celia. Should but these evils end to-day All may be well. Come, Lady Julia, let's away.

Roselo. Farewell, sweet Julia, jewel of my soul, Farewell, sweet sun so bright!

Julia. Go, or I die, mine eyes' sweet light.
