What mean you, sir,

I pray you? I am but a timid woman,

Full of foreboding fears and dread of ill,

And such a doubt doth overspread my soul,

Hearing thy words, I think I shall go mad.

Nay, Zetho, he is safe; I have your promise

Thou wouldst not harm him. An o'erwhelming force,

Thou saidst, should so surround them that resistance

Were vain, and ere the dawn they should go hence

Without one drop of bloodshed.
