Should be apparent to your Majesty.
ExP.-seymour, thou bear'st a brain. Now mark me,
Hove thy Queen, and love thy countrymen,
HeS subjects, loyal as they are, yet free
Would every prince-in Christendom-had such
We have common interest gentle Seymour;
England and Russia should be hand and glove.
SEYM-England is bounden to your Majesty
With Russia's glove that would protect her grasp.

Did graciously correct my grosser sense,
He's dangerously ill; and time It Is

For he will die intestate-should be thought on
BY his next heirs. Now, therefore, Seymour, list

The weighty matter you have brosched to me.
EhP.-But Seymour, mind all this Is said and meant
In strictest honor, and in confidence
Let's have no seals no parchment, no red tape;

And make my offer as gentleman.
