What are you crying for, when the sun shines?
ROSAMUND.
Hath not thy father left us to ourselves?
GEOFFREY.
Ay, but he's taken the rain with him. I hear
Margery: I'll go play with her. [_Exit_ GEOFFREY.
ROSAMUND.
Rainbow, stay,
Gleam upon gloom,
Bright as my dream,
Rainbow, stay!
But it passes away,
Gloom upon gleam,
Dark as my doom--
O rainbow stay.
SCENE II.--_Outside the Woods near_ ROSAMUND'S _Bower_.
ELEANOR. FITZURSE.
ELEANOR.
Up from the salt lips of the land we two
Have track'd the King to this dark inland wood;
And somewhere hereabouts he vanish'd. Here
His turtle builds: his exit is our adit:
Watch! he will out again, and presently,
Seeing he must to Westminster and crown
Young Henry there to-morrow.
FITZURSE.
We have watch'd
So long in vain, he hath pass'd out again,
And on the other side. [_A great horn winded_.
Hark! Madam!
ELEANOR.
Ay,
How ghostly sounds that horn in the black wood!
[_A countryman flying_.
