- My crimes against my lord are manifest and clear, they cannot be hidden.
- Art so grieved at having devised thy rival’s death?
- Indeed I am; I deeply mourn my fatal deeds of daring; alas! I am now accursed in all men’s eyes!
- Thy husband will pardon thee this error.
- Oh! why didst thou hunt me to snatch away my sword? Give, oh! give it back, dear nurse, that I may thrust it through my heart. Why dost thou prevent me hanging myself?
