Scene 20

Enter Enter the Gallian Ambassador solus.

AMB: There is of late news come unto the Court,
That old Lord Leir remains in Cambria:
I’ll hie me thither presently, to impart
My letters and my message unto him.
I never was less welcome to a place
In all my life time, than I have been hither,
Especially unto the stately Queen,
Who would not cast one gracious look on me,
But still with low’ring and suspicious eyes,
Would take exceptions at each word I spake, … [20.10]
And fain she would have undermined me,
To know what my Ambassage did import:
But she is like to hop without her hope,
And in this matter for to want her will,
Though (by report) she’ll hav’t in all things else.
Well, I will post away for Cambria:
Within these few days I hope to be there.   Exit.
