STANLEY.
Like to a duchess, and Duke Humphrey’s lady;
According to that state you shall be used.
ELEANOR.
Sheriff, farewell, and better than I fare,
Although thou hast been conduct of my shame.
SHERIFF.
It is my office; and, madam, pardon me.
ELEANOR.
Ay, ay, farewell; thy office is discharged.
Come, Stanley, shall we go?
STANLEY.
Madam, your penance done, throw off this sheet,
And go we to attire you for our journey.
ELEANOR.
My shame will not be shifted with my sheet,
No, it will hang upon my richest robes
And show itself, attire me how I can.
Go, lead the way, I long to see my prison.
[Exeunt.]
