Suf. Lady, wherefore talk you so? 108
Mar. I cry you mercy, 'tis but quid for quo.
Suf. Say, gentle princess, would you not suppose
Your bondage happy to be made a queen?
Mar. To be a queen in bondage is more vile
Than is a slave in base servility; 113
For princes should be free.
Suf.And so shall you,
If happy England's royal king be free.
Mar. Why, what concerns his freedom unto me? 116
Suf. I'll undertake to make thee Henry's queen,
To put a golden sceptre in thy hand
And set a precious crown upon thy head,
If thou wilt condescend to be my—
Mar.What?
Suf.His love. 120
Mar. I am unworthy to be Henry's wife.
Suf. No, gentle madam; I unworthy am
To woo so fair a dame to be his wife
And have no portion in the choice myself. 124
How say you, madam, are you so content?
Mar. An if my father please, I am content.
Suf. Then call our captains and our colours forth!
And, madam, at your father's castle walls 128
We'll crave a parley, to confer with him.
Sound. Enter Reignier on the Walls.
Suf. See, Reignier, see thy daughter prisoner!
Reig.To whom?
Suf.To me.
Reig.Suffolk, what remedy?
I am a soldier, and unapt to weep, 132
111 to be: if you were in consequence
132 unapt: disinclined
