EMILIA.
You comfort me, dear brother, you set my heart at rest; and I hope you will soon get the better of this complaint.
CHARLES.
I shall be thankful to God, if he allows me to remain sometime longer with my parents and friends.
EMILIA.
It seems you are not afraid of death.
CHARLES.
I have already told you that I wish to live. Heaven grant me life, if I always have the same desire to do good; but may it be taken away from me this instant, if there is a possibility that I should ever forget my duty.
EMILIA.
O let us talk no more of death, brother!
