Only I beg that thou wilt ask me nought
That answered may give pain.
Gycia.
Nay, it is best
That I know all. I could not bear to live
In ignorance, and yet I fear to grieve thee
By what I ask. Thy sister late has left me——
Theo. Ask not of her, I pray; I cannot answer.
Gycia. Nay, by thy love I ask it. Answer me.
Theo. Have me excused, I pray.
