The court is so unquiet, in it I take no joy:

Solitary to myself now I may talk;

If I could rule, I wist what to say.

Enter Cruelty and Murder with bloody hands.

Cruelty.

My coequal partner Murder, come away;

From me long thou may’st not stay.

Murder.

Yes, from thee I may stay, but not thou from me:

Therefore I have a prerogative above thee.
