Could tell me that thou art not wholly deaf

To my petition, earnestly preferred.

Lord Arthur.

Lady, thou’rt surely mad! Depart, and hush

These importunate cries. They are not worthy

Of the great name which thou hast fairly earned.

Lady Ellrington.

Give me that rose, and I to thee will cleave

Till death. Hear me, and give it me, Lord Arthur!

Lord Arthur [after a few minutes’ deliberation].
