Arn. Let her but live!

Cæs.‍The Spirit of her life

Is yet within her breast, and may revive.

Count! count! I am your servant in all things,

And this is a new office:—'tis not oft170

I am employed in such; but you perceive

How staunch a friend is what you call a fiend.

On earth you have often only fiends for friends;

Now I desert not mine. Soft! bear her hence,

The beautiful half-clay, and nearly spirit!
