the Duchess's Soul to stay so long with them;
till she had ordered her Theatre, and made Playes
and Verses fit for them; for they onely wanted that
sort of Recreation; but the Duchess's Soul begg'd
their Majesties to give her leave to go into her Native
VVorld; for she long'd to be with her dear
Lord and Husband, promising, that after a short
time she would return again. VVhich being granted,
though with much difficulty, she took her leave
with all Civility and respect, and so departed from
their Majesties.

and be willing to be my subjects, they may imagine themselves such, and they are such—I mean
in their minds, fancies or imaginations. But if they cannot endure to be subjects, they may
create worlds of their own and govern themselves as they please.
