I have gained this on my knees; but for the guilty

The State has punishments.

Asan.

Gycia, thou wouldst not

That I should break my faith? 'Tis a King's part

To keep faith, though he die. But when they have seized

The city, then, using my kingly office,

I will undo the deed, and make alliance

With Cherson, and this done I will depart,

Taking my Queen with me.
