I cannot find anyone who saw her. The ladies who attend her in her room saw her in bed, and early in the morning they found that their precious mistress was gone from it.

My lord, the roynish clown, at whom so oftYour grace was wont to laugh, is also missing.Hesperia, the princess’ gentlewoman,Confesses that she secretly o’erheardYour daughter and her cousin much commendThe parts and graces of the wrestlerThat did but lately foil the sinewy Charles;And she believes wherever they are goneThat youth is surely in their company.

My lord, the shabby fool your Grace used to laugh at so often is also missing. Hesperia, the princess’ attendant, admits that she secretly overheard your daughter and her cousin warmly praising the abilities and charms of the wrestler who recently defeated the muscular Charles. She believes that wherever they have gone, that young man is certainly with them.
