ABSTRACT

The King of Navarre and some of his Nobles make a Vow of retiring from the World to their Books for three Years, and forswear the Conversation of all Women. But the King of France’s Daughter and some ladies her Attendants come in an Embassy from her Father to the King of Navarre, which obliges them to a Conversation with the Ladies, and that makes them all in Love; and endeavour after they have found out each other’s Frailty and Breach of oath to win the Ladies to yield to love them. But they admit them to hope, on Condition they remain in the same Mind a Year, and perform certain Penances. This and the News of the French King’s Death ends the Play.
