Here, till the rage of war has ceased around us,

I will watch o'er thee, Ned; here guard thy life;—

Thy life! the hope, the care, the joy of mine!

And when thy harrass'd limbs have gain'd their pliancy,

We will resume our task: for I must lead thee

A painful walk, across Northumberland,

As far as Berwick, boy; where we may meet,

Again, our Scottish friends. What sayest thou Ned,

Shouldst joy to see thy father there?

Prince. Ay, mother;—
