[♦] Q. Eliz. O Dorset, speak not to me, get thee hence!

[40] Death and destruction dog thee at the heels;

[♦] Thy mother’s name is ominous to children.

[♦] If thou wilt outstrip death, go cross the seas,

[♦] And live with Richmond, from the reach of hell:

Go, hie thee, hie thee from this slaughter-house,

45 Lest thou increase the number of the dead;

And make me die the thrall of Margaret’s curse,

[♦] Nor mother, wife, nor England’s counted queen.

Stan. Full of wise care is this your counsel, madam.
