Not without danger Lords, yet without death, Her fever is not mortal; yet you see into what danger, It hath brought the Princess. Is your opinion so? My judgement is, not deadly, but yet dangerous, No sooner shall she come to take the air, But she will faint, and if not well prepared and attended, Her life is in much danger. Madam, we take no pleasure to deliver so strict a messsage. Nor I my Lords to hear a messsage delivered with such strictness; well must I go. So says the Queen. Why then it must be so. Tomorrow early then you must prepare. 'tis many a more 〈◊〉 my feeble legs, Felt this my Body's weight: O I shall faint, And if I taste the rawness of the air, I am but dead, indeed I am but dead. 'tis late, conduct these Lords unto their chambers, And cheer them well for they have journeyed hard, whilst we prepare us for our morrows journey. Madam, the Queen hath sent her letter for you. The Queen is kind, and we will strive with death To tender her our life, We are her subject, and obey her hest, Good night, we wish you what we want, Good rest. Thus in the face of heaven, & broad eye of all the multitude, We give a welcome to the Spanish Prince, Those plausive shouts which give you entertain, Echoes as much to the almighty's cares, And there they sound with pleasure, and excels The clamorous trumpets, and loud ringing bells. Thrice excellent and ever gracious Princess, Doubly famous for virtue and for beauty, We embrace your large stretched Honours with the arms of love, Our Royal marriage, treated first in Heaven To be solemnized here, both by God's voice, And by our loves consent, we thus embrace: Now Spain and England two populous Kingdoms, That have a long time been opposed In Hostile-emulation, shallbe at one: This shallbe Spanish England, ours English Spain. Hark the redoubling echoes of the people, How it proclaims their loves; and welcome to this Union. Then here before the 〈◊〉 of the Land, We do embrace and make a public contract. Our souls are joyful, then bright Heavens smile, Whilst we proclaim our new united Style. Read Sussex. Long live the King and Queen. We thank you all. When please your Highness to solemnize this your Nuptials? The 25. day of this month Iuly. It likes us well, but royal Queen we want One Lady at this high solemnity: We have a Sister called Elizabeth, Whose virtues and endowments of the mind Hath filled the ears of Spain. Great are the causes, now too long to say, Why she my Sovereign should be kept away. The Lord of Tame and Shandoyse are returned. How fares our Sister? Is she come along? We found the Princess, sick and in great danger; Yet did we urge our strict Commission, She much entreated that she might be spared, Until her health and strength might be restored.
