SCENE II. A room in the palace.
Enter DUKE FREDERICK, with Lords
DUKE FREDERICK
      Can it be possible that no man saw them?
      It cannot be: some villains of my court
      Are of consent and sufferance in this.
First Lord
      I cannot hear of any that did see her.
5     The ladies, her attendants of her chamber,
      Saw her abed, and in the morning early
      They found the bed untreasured of their mistress.
Second Lord
      My lord, the roynish clown, at whom so oft
      Your grace was wont to laugh, is also missing.
10    Hisperia, the princess' gentlewoman,
      Confesses that she secretly o'erheard
      Your daughter and her cousin much commend
      The parts and graces of the wrestler
      That did but lately foil the sinewy Charles;
15    And she believes, wherever they are gone,
      That youth is surely in their company.
DUKE FREDERICK
      Send to his brother; fetch that gallant hither;
      If he be absent, bring his brother to me;
      I'll make him find him: do this suddenly,
20    And let not search and inquisition quail
      To bring again these foolish runaways.
