FIRST LORD
You have not given him his mother's letter?
SECOND LORD
I have delivered it an hour since: there is
something in't that stings his nature; for on the
reading it he changed almost into another man.
FIRST LORD
He has much worthy blame laid upon him for shaking
off so good a wife and so sweet a lady.
SECOND LORD
Especially he hath incurred the everlasting
displeasure of the king, who had even tuned his
bounty to sing happiness to him. I will tell you a
thing, but you shall let it dwell darkly with you.
FIRST LORD
When you have spoken it, 'tis dead, and I am the
grave of it.
