Salga, pues, ahora Su Majestad, y aliente con sus palabras a sus seguidores, pues de lo contrario juro por el Señor a Su Majestad que esta noche no le quedará ni un solo partidario. Esto será para Su Majestad peor que todos los males que le han ocurrido desde su juventud hasta el presente.

Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
