Why this pause,
This hesitation? Where, sir, is the paper?
DAVISON
I am undone! Undone! My fate is sealed!
ELIZABETH (interrupting him violently)
Let me not fancy, sir —
DAVISON
Oh, I am lost!
I have it not.
ELIZABETH
How? What?
SHREWSBURY
Oh, God in heaven!
DAVISON
It is in Burleigh's hands – since yesterday.
ELIZABETH
Wretch! Is it thus you have obeyed my orders?
Did I not lay my strict injunction on you
To keep it carefully?
DAVISON
No such injunction
Was laid on me, my liege.
ELIZABETH
Give me the lie?
Opprobrious wretch! When did I order you
To give the paper into Burleigh's hands?
DAVISON
Never expressly in so many words.
ELIZABETH
And, paltering villain I dare you then presume
To construe, as you list, my words – and lay
Your bloody meaning on them? Wo betide you,
If evil come of this officious deed!
Your life shall answer the event to me.
Earl Shrewsbury, you see how my good name
Has been abused!
SHREWSBURY
I see! Oh, God in heaven!
ELIZABETH
What say you?
SHREWSBURY
If the knight has dared to act
In this, upon his own authority,
Without the knowledge of your majesty,
He must be cited to the Court of Peers
To answer there for subjecting thy name
To the abhorrence of all after time.
SCENE XV
Enter BURLEIGH.
BURLEIGH (bowing his knee before the QUEEN)
Long life and glory to my royal mistress,
And may all enemies of her dominions
End like this Stuart.
[SHREWSBURY hides his face. DAVIDSON wrings his hands in despair.
ELIZABETH
Speak, my lord; did you
From me receive the warrant?
BURLEIGH
No, my queen;
From Davison.
ELIZABETH
