Cleom. No more, but this, that thou art too unkind,

When even in kindness thou wouldst overcome.

Clean. Let me be proud; and pardon thou my pride.

Base, worthless Egypt has no other pawn,

To counter-balance these, but only me.

'Twas on such terms alone I durst propose it.

Shalt thou leave these,

And I not leave a father, whom I love?

Come, come, it must be so.

We'll give each other all we have besides;
