Rolla. Criminal!—Ha!—you have touched me indeed!—Yes, I am afraid it too nearly resembles a crime!

Juan. To effect the latter is an act of virtue.
Rolla. Which we will practice.
Juan. That is not in our power. This virtue can be practised by the king alone.
Rolla. Let us then counsel the king.
Juan. To that I have no objection.
Rolla. But with arms in our hands.
