ALMACHILDES.

King, I may not
Touch hands with thee.

ALBOVINE.

Thou art false, then, ha? Thou hast lied?

ALMACHILDES.

King, till the wrong I have wrought be wreaked or healed
I clasp not hands with honour. Nay, and then
Perchance I may not.

ALBOVINE.

Boy I called thee: child
I call thee now. But, boy, the child thou art
Is noble as our sires.

ALMACHILDES.

Would God it were!
