Blasco.

I have sucked this Ferdinand. Duke Philip bears Secret despatches sealed, not to be broken Save on emergency; from which I gather That if emergency arise, this Philip Will be our viceroy. Palicio being escaped Must make the emergency.—Then, where am I? Packed off to Spain with Hugo’s broken service, To answer his impeachment. ’Tis high time I cast by these old friends, such as they are, And turn my face to the rising sun, this Philip. I see the way too. Manuel’s love for Constance Hath roused again his former love for her To a burning jealousy; if I feed that I win his ear, and make my foe his foe. As for Palicio, should he hold back I have a way with him, and can contrive He shall seize Hugo, or himself be seized, As may suit best. The mischief set on foot, Philip must break his seals; and I come in With him as friendly to the people’s rights, And trusted servant of the crown. By heav’n, I shall deserve their credit. See, here he comes.

Enter Philip.

Good morrow to your grace.
