Since I came hither, Countess, I am wronged.

Countess. Now, God forbid that any in my house

Should think my sov’reign wrong! Thrice gentle king,

Acquaint me with your cause of discontent.

Edward. How near then shall I be to remedy?

Countess. As near, my liege, as all my woman’s power

Can pawn itself to buy thy remedy.

Edward. If thou speak’st true, then have I my redress.

Engage thy power to redeem my joys,

And I am joyful, Countess; else I die.
