Act II, Scene 2

The DUKE’S palace

Enter DUKE FREDERICK, with LORDS

• Frederick. Can it be possible that no man saw them?
  It cannot be; some villains of my court
  Are of consent and sufferance in this.

• First Lord. I cannot hear of any that did see her. 625
  The ladies, her attendants of her chamber,
  Saw her abed, and in the morning early
  They found the bed untreasur'd of their mistress.

• Second Lord. My lord, the roynish clown, at whom so oft
  Your Grace was wont to laugh, is also missing. 630
  Hisperia, the Princess' gentlewoman,
  Confesses that she secretly o'erheard
  Your daughter and her cousin much commend
  The parts and graces of the wrestler
  That did but lately foil the sinewy Charles; 635
  And she believes, wherever they are gone,
  That youth is surely in their company.

• Frederick. Send to his brother; fetch that gallant hither.
  If he be absent, bring his brother to me;
  I'll make him find him. Do this suddenly; 640
  And let not search and inquisition quail
  To bring again these foolish runaways. Exeunt
