Enter Duke ⌜Frederick⌝ with Lords.
DUKE FREDERICK 0679Can it be possible that no man saw them? 0680It cannot be. Some villains of my court 0681Are of consent and sufferance in this. FIRST LORD 0682I cannot hear of any that did see her. 06835The ladies her attendants of her chamber 0684Saw her abed, and in the morning early 0685They found the bed untreasured of their mistress.

SECOND LORD 0686My lord, the roinish clown at whom so oft 0687Your Grace was wont to laugh is also missing. 068810Hisperia, the Princess’ gentlewoman, 0689Confesses that she secretly o’erheard 0690Your daughter and her cousin much commend 0691The parts and graces of the wrestler 0692That did but lately foil the sinewy Charles, 069315And she believes wherever they are gone 0694That youth is surely in their company. DUKE FREDERICK 0695Send to his brother. Fetch that gallant hither. 0696If he be absent, bring his brother to me. 0697I’ll make him find him. Do this suddenly, 069820And let not search and inquisition quail 0699To bring again these foolish runaways. They exit.
