First Lord In the mean time, what hear you of these wars?
Second Lord I hear there is an overture of peace.
First Lord Nay, I assure you, a peace concluded.
Second Lord What will Count Rousillon do then? will he travel
higher, or return again into France?
First Lord I perceive, by this demand, you are not altogether
of his council.
Second Lord Let it be forbid, sir; so should I be a great deal
of his act.
First Lord Sir, his wife some two months since fled from his
house: her pretence is a pilgrimage to Saint Jaques
le Grand; which holy undertaking with most austere
sanctimony she accomplished; and, there residing the
tenderness of her nature became as a prey to her
grief; in fine, made a groan of her last breath, and
now she sings in heaven.
Second Lord How is this justified?
First Lord The stronger part of it by her own letters, which
makes her story true, even to the point of her
death: her death itself, which could not be her
office to say is come, was faithfully confirmed by
the rector of the place.
Second Lord Hath the count all this intelligence?
First Lord Ay, and the particular confirmations, point from
point, so to the full arming of the verity.
