Repent, my son, thou must not brave this curse.

NAAMAN:

My King, there is no curse as terrible

As that which lights a bosom-fire for him

Who gives away his honour, to prolong

A craven life whose every breath is shame!

If I betray the men who follow me,

The city that has put her trust in me,

The country to whose service I am bound,

What king can shield me from my own deep scorn,
