MARY BEATON.
Yea; though to do it were mortal to my soul
As the chief sin.

CHASTELARD.
I thank you: let us go.

ACT III.

THE QUEEN.

SCENE I.—The Queen's Chamber. Night. Lights burning In front of the bed.

[Enter CHASTELARD and MARY BEATON.]

MARY BEATON.
Be tender of your feet.

CHASTELARD.
I shall not fail:
These ways have light enough to help a man
That walks with such stirred blood in him as mine.

MARY BEATON.

Nay, let this be then: sir, I chide you not.
Nay, let all come. Do not abide her yet.
