@3Cecil@1. Your Grace is welcome from the Queen of Scotland
How fares that sad and most illustrious pattern
Of all misfortunes?
@3Norfolk@1. Dost thou pity her?
Oh, let me fly, and hold thee to my bosom,
Closer, and far more dear, than ever bride
Was held by lusty bridegroom in his arms!
@3Cecil@1. My lord, you make me blush.
