Show them their tools, and give them entrance Barnaby Sir, I have not been used to this hard travel, If you dare mitigate your Master's Cruelty, And let me rest a little, i'll thank you for it. 'tis not in our Commission, but I'll dispense a little. Who is this I pray sir? The Queen going to Prison, to Rochester Castle, Do you not know her? Alack, alack. My eyes are not deceived, they are my Children. 'tis our Mother Offa, take heed our tears do not discover. Pray heaven they do not, I fear my eyes will be kind traitors. Dare ye be so kind, to afford a distressed woman a stool? I dare do that Madam, Crispinus, reach a stool. On thy knee Child, why dost thou kneel to me? 'tis my duty Madam, misery hath not changed your name, Though bated of your power, you are my Queen still. Heaven bless thee for't, I have stolen thee a blessing. Wouldst thou add something too? I would be as Dutiful as my Brother, Madam. Is he thy Brother, blessing on you both: This was a happiness beyond my hope, that I should once more Bless My Children really, keep in thou woman's frailty, Grief Chain my Tongue, lest thou betray the utmost Of my hopes, my tears may find excuse. Why weeps those boys? Alas Sir, 'tis oft times the barren fruits of subjects' Loves, when they behold their Prince; but much more Will the Flux of sorrow sir abound, when they behold Them thrown to misery. You're very kind Kind boys they are, indeed they shall fare ne'er the worse, I could e'en weep myself, to see my boys so kind hearted. Madam, you do but trouble 'em, and win some drops From them, that they would spare if you were absent. 'tis your trouble sir, they could be content with this kind Expense, a longer sojourn, but you instruct me well: Farewell, I can but thank ye, that's all I have To give for your kind youths— what will my tongue do, Pray use them well, so much the more cause They were kind to me.
