Indeed! Oh, give it, give it me!
DAVISON
I may not.
BURLEIGH
How!
DAVISON
She has not yet explained her final will.
BURLEIGH
Explained! She has subscribed it; – give it to me.
DAVISON
I am to execute it, and I am not.
Great heavens! I know not what I am to do!
BURLEIGH (urging more violently)
It must be now, this moment, executed.
The warrant, sir. You're lost if you delay.
DAVISON
So am I also if I act too rashly.
BURLEIGH
What strange infatuation. Give it me.

DAVISON
What would you? Hold? You will be my destruction.
ACT V
SCENE I
The Scene the same as in the First Act.
HANNAH KENNEDY in deep mourning, her eyes still red from weeping, in great but quiet anguish, is employed in sealing letters and parcels. Her sorrow often interrupts her occupation, and she is seen at such intervals to pray in silence. PAULET and DRURY, also in mourning, enter, followed by many servants, who bear golden and silver vessels, mirrors, paintings, and other valuables, and fill the back part of the stage with them. PAULET delivers to the NURSE a box of jewels and a paper, and seems to inform her by signs that it contains the inventory of the effects the QUEEN had brought with her. At the sight of these riches, the anguish of the NURSE is renewed; she sinks into a deep, glowing melancholy, during which DRURY, PAULET, and the servants silently retire.
MELVIL enters.
KENNEDY (screams aloud as soon as she observes him)
Melvil! Is it you? Behold I you again?
MELVIL
Yes, faithful Kennedy, we meet once more.
KENNEDY
After this long, long, painful separation!
MELVIL
A most unhappy, bitter meeting this!
KENNEDY
You come —
MELVIL
To take an everlasting leave
Of my dear queen – to bid a last farewell!
KENNEDY
And now at length, now on the fatal morn
Which brings her death, they grant our royal lady
The presence of her friends. Oh, worthy sir,
I will not question you, how you have fared,
Nor tell you all the sufferings we've endured,
Since you were torn away from us: alas!
There will be time enough for that hereafter.
O, Melvil, Melvil, why was it our fate
To see the dawn of this unhappy day?
MELVIL
Let us not melt each other with our grief.
Throughout my whole remaining life, as long
As ever it may be, I'll sit and weep;
A smile shall never more light up these cheeks,
Ne'er will I lay this sable garb aside,
But lead henceforth a life of endless mourning.
Yet on this last sad day I will be firm;
Pledge me your word to moderate your grief;
