As death can make it. Go, prepare thy soul!

Raim. Father! yet hear me!

Pro. No! thou’rt skill’d to make

E’en shame look fair. Why should I linger thus?

[Going to leave the prison, he turns back for a moment.

If there be aught—if aught—for which thou need’st

Forgiveness—not of me, but that dread Power

From whom no heart is veil’d—delay thou not

Thy prayer,—time hurries on.

Raim. I am prepared.
