SUFFOLK
If I depart from thee, I cannot live; And in thy sight to die, what were it else But like a pleasant slumber
in thy lap? Here could I breathe my soul into the air, As mild and gentle as the cradle-babe Dying with
mother's dug between its lips: Where, from thy sight, I should be raging mad, And cry out for thee to close
up mine eyes, To have thee with thy lips to stop my mouth; So shouldst thou either turn my flying soul, Or
I should breathe it so into thy body, And then it lived in sweet Elysium. To die by thee were but to die in
jest; From thee to die were torture more than death: O, let me stay, befall what may befall! QUEEN MARGARET
Away! though parting be a fretful corrosive, It is applied to a deathful wound. To France, sweet Suffolk: let
me hear from thee; For wheresoe'er thou art in this world's globe, I'll have an Iris that shall find thee out. SUFFOLK
I go. QUEEN MARGARET
And take my heart with thee. SUFFOLK
A jewel, lock'd into the wofull'st cask That ever did contain a thing of worth. Even as a splitted bark, so
sunder we This way fall I to death. QUEEN MARGARET
This way for me.
Exeunt severally
