Enter two [Murtherers] dragging in the Cardenall [of Loraine]. CARDINALL Murder me not, I am a Cardenall.
1 Wert thou the Pope thou mightst not scape from us.
CARDINALL What, will you fyle your handes with Churchmens bloud?
2 Shed your bloud,
O Lord no: for we entend to strangle you.
CARDINALL Then there is no remedye but I must dye?
1 No remedye, therefore prepare your selfe.
CARDINALL Yet lives
My brother Duke Dumaine, and many moe:
To revenge our deaths upon that cursed King,
Upon whose heart may all the furies gripe,
And with their pawes drench his black soule in hell.
1 Yours my Lord Cardinall, you should have saide.
Now they strangle him. So, pluck amaine,
He is hard hearted, therfore pull with violence.
Come take him away.
Exeunt.
