Scene SCENE changes to the Widow's House at Florence. Enter Helena, Widow, and Diana.

Hel.
That you may well perceive I have not wrong'd you,
One of the greatest in the christian world,
Shall be my surety. I duly am inform'd,
His grace is at Marseilles, to which place
We have convenient convoy; you must know,
I am supposed dead; the army breaking,
My husband hies him home; where, heaven aiding,
And by the leave of my good lord the king,
We'll be before our welcome.

Wid.
Gentle madam,
You never had a servant, to whose trust
Your business was more welcome.

Hel.
Nor you, mistress,
Ever a friend, whose thoughts more truly labour
To recompense your love. You, Diana,
Under my poor instructions, yet must suffer
Something in my behalf.

Dia.
Let death and honesty
Go with your impositions, I am yours,
Upon your will to suffer.

Hel.
We must away;
Our carriage is prepar'd, and time revives us. [Exeunt. End of the Fourth Act.
