Lee.And for amends, Touching the wrong vnwittingly I haue done, There are a few crownes more for them to drinke.

IudgeYour kindnes merites praise sir Richard Lee, So let vs hence.

Lord Po.But Powesse still must stay, There yet remaines a part of that true loue, He owes his noble friend vnsatisfide, And vnperformd which first of all doth bind me, To gratulate your lordships safe deliuery, And then intreat, that since vnlookt for thus, We here are met, your honor would vouchsafe, To ride with me to Wales, where though my power, (Though not to quittance those great benefites, I haue receiud of you) yet both my house, My purse my seruants, and what else I haue, Are all at your command, deny me not, I know the Bishops hate pursues ye so, As theres no safety in abiding here.

Old.Tis true my Lord, and God forgiue him for it.

Lord Po.Then let vs hence, you shall be straight prouided Of lusty geldings, and once entred VVales, VVell may the Bishop hunt, but spight his face, He neuer more shall haue the game in chace.
