Nou. Se. Strange rashnesse.
Roch. A braue resolution rather,
Worthy a better fortune, but howeuer
It is not now to be disputed, therefore
To my owne cause. Already I haue found
Your Lordships bountifull in your fauours to me; [260]
And that should teach my modesty to end heere
And presse your loues no further.
Du Croy. There is nothing
The Court can grant, but with assurance you
May aske it and obtaine it.
Roch. You incourage
A bold Petitioner, and ’tis not fit [265]
Your fauours should be lost. Besides, ’tas beene
A custome many yeeres, at the surrendring
The place I now giue vp, to grant the President
One boone, that parted with it. And to confirme
Your grace towards me, against all such as may [270]
Detract my actions, and life hereafter,
I now preferre it to you.
Du Croy. Speake it freely.
Roch. I then desire the liberty of Romont,
And that my Lord Nouall, whose priuate wrong
Was equall to the iniurie that was done [275]
To the dignity of the Court, will pardon it,
And now signe his enlargement.
Nou. Se. Pray you demand
The moyety of my estate, or any thing
Within my power, but this.
Roch. Am I denyed then—
My first and last request?
Du Croy. It must not be. [280]
2 Pre. I haue a voyce to giue in it.
