Than ye or I stand ready to arraign you;
And should I leave your fate to sterner judges,
And proofs of all kinds, I might sacrifice
Two men, who, whatsoe'er they now are, were
Once honest. Ye are free, sirs.
Arb.Sire, this clemency——
Bel. (interrupting him). Is worthy of yourself; and, although innocent,
We thank——
Sar.Priest! keep your thanksgivings for Belus;
His offspring needs none.
