Exeunt QUEEN and Ladies	The QUEEN and her Ladies exit.
GARDENER Poor queen! so that thy state might be no worse, I would my skill were subject to thy curse. Here did she fall a tear; here in this place I’ll set a bank of rue, sour herb of grace: 110Rue, even for ruth, here shortly shall be seen, In the remembrance of a weeping queen.	GARDENER Poor queen! I wish her curse would strike my skill if it would help her. Her tear fell right here. I’ll plant rue there, since it is a bitter and sad herb. If only out of pity, rue will soon grow here in remembrance of a weeping queen.
Exeunt	They exit.
