K. The devil take thy mocking salutation.

I have three matters for thee: attend. The first

Is that Morocco leaves us, and with him

Our army is gone; whereon the second follows:

Thou must send forth with speed to all the towns

To levy succours; and thy forces here,

Disordered in the war, visit thyself,

Reform, and make report. The third is this,

My will concerning Ferdinand,—and let that

Be first in thine attention;—’tis his death.
