I will be Duchess yet! [She retires.

The Courtiers. Our Duchess yet!

A glorious lady! Worthy love and dread!

I'll stand by her,—and I, whate'er betide!

Gui. [To Valence.] Well done, well done, sir! I care not who knows,

You have done nobly and I envy you—

Though I am but unfairly used, I think:

For when one gets a place like this I hold,

One gets too the remark that its mere wages,

The pay and the preferment, make our prize.
