Your Queene with her two Infants fled the Citty Affrighted at this treason and new warres. Kin. Newes of more sadnesses than the Kingdomes losse, She fled upon her houre, for had she stayd Sh' had either dyed, beene banish'd, or betrayd. I have some servants here? Arma. All these my Lord. Kin.

Maz. His presence sets glosse on your attempts, They have their luster from him. Arm. He's their Countenance, Twas well observ'd and follow'd, he shall stay,
