Ges. Yet, ’tis ’gainst nature.

Sar. Not if he believes

To own the son would be to make him share

The father’s death.

Ges. I did not think of that! [To Tell.] ’Tis well

The boy is not thy son. I’ve destined him

To die along with thee.

Tell. To die? For what?

Ges. For having braved my power, as thou hast.

Lead them forth.
