So suddenly to cast away his staff,
And all in passion to forsake the tylt?
D. DIROT.

Only expecting cheerful looks for all;
What sudden pangs than moves your majesty
To dim the brightness of the day with frowns?
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.

At least, suspect not my displeased brows:

For thanks and all that you can wish I yield.
But that which makes me blush and shame to tell
Is cause why thus I turn my conquering eyes
To cowards looks and beaten fantasies.
