1005Could any cross, could any plague, be worse?
13.21006Could heaven or hell, did both conspire in one
13.31007To afflict my soul, invent a greater scourge
13.41008Than presently I am tormented with?
13.51009Ah, Mariana, cause of my lament,
13.61010Joy of my heart, and comfort of my life.
13.71011For thee I breathe my sorrows in the air
13.81012And tire myself, for silently I sigh:
13.91013My sorrow afflicts my soul with equal passion.
Go to, sirrah, put up. It is to small purpose.
1015Hence, villains, hence! Dare you lay your hands
Well, sir, we will deal for that.
13.141018But here comes one will remedy all this.
13.151020My lord, watching this night in the camp
13.161021We took this man and know not what he is,
13.171022And in his company was a gallant dame,
13.181023A woman fair in outward show she seemed,
13.191024But that her face was masked we could not see
13.201025The grace and favour of her countenance.
[To William] Tell me, good fellow, of whence and what thou art?
Why do you not answer my lord?
1028He takes scorn to answer.
And takʼst thou scorn to answer my demand?
13.241030Thy proud behaviour very well deserves
13.251031This misdemeanour at the worst be construed.
13.261032Why, dost thou neither know, nor hast thou heard
13.271033That in the absence of the Saxon duke
13.291035To punish those that shall offend the laws?
In knowing this, I know thou art a traitor,
13.321038Why, Demarch, knowʼst thou who I am?
Pardon, my dread lord, the error of my sense,
13.341040And misdemeanour to your princely excellency.
Why, Demarch,
13.36What is the cause my subjects are in arms?
Free are my thoughts, my dread and gracious lord,
13.381043From treason to your state and commonweal.
13.391044Only revengement of a private grudge
13.411046That stands not with the honour of my name,
13.421047Is cause I have assembled for my guard
13.431048Some men in arms that may withstand his force,
13.441049Whose settled malice aimeth at my life.
Where is Lord Dirot? In arms, my gracious lord,
I am ascertained. Well, come, let us go.
13.481055I fear I shall find traitors of you both.
