When we will break it softly to Her Highness;

Though she hath never seen him, as thou knowest,

She now half loves him for his kingly virtues,

And being her father’s daughter thinks it well

To act a daughter’s just obedience.

She hath a wayward nature, ’tis a pride

We have in common, therefore we defer

This matter till tomorrow. ’Twould not do

To let her sleep on such sharp disappointment.

Launcelot. As you will, noble lord.
