'Ah, 'tis like thee, 'tis like thee! I know thy heart is still the same, even though
Thy mind hath suffered hurt, for thou wert ever of a gentle spirit. But this
duke standeth between thee and thine honors: I will have another in his stead
that shall bring no taint to his great office. Comfort thee, my prince: trouble
not thy poor head with this matter.'

'Take no thought of him, my prince: he is not worthy. Kiss me once again, and
Go to thy trifles and amusements; for my malady distresseth me. I am aweary,
And would rest. Go with thine uncle Hertford and thy people, and come again
when my body is refreshed.'

Was a death-blow to the hope he had cherished that now he would be set free.

Might remain forever shut up in this gilded cage, a forlorn and friendless
Prince, except God in his mercy take pity on him and set him free.
