ELEANOR.
To the Castle?
DE BROC.
Ay!
ELEANOR.
Stir up the King, the Lords!
Set all on fire against him!
DE BRITO.
Ay, good Madam! [_Exeunt_.
ELEANOR.
Fool! I will make thee hateful to thy King.
Churl! I will have thee frighted into France,
And I shall live to trample on thy grave.

Gone hawking on the Nene,
His heart so gall'd with thine ingratitude,
He will not see thy face till thou hast sign'd
These ancient laws and customs of the realm.
