Bardi
To Venice, Madam?
Duchess
Not a word of this,
Go, go at once. [Exit Count Bardi.]
A moment, my Lord Justice.
If, as thou sayest it, this is the law—
Nay, nay, I doubt not that thou sayest right,
Though right be wrong in such a case as this—
May I not by the virtue of mine office
Adjourn this court until another day?
Lord Justice
Madam, you cannot stay a trial for blood.
Duchess
I will not tarry then to hear this man
Rail with rude tongue against our sacred person.
Come, gentlemen.
Lord Justice
My liege,
You cannot leave this court until the prisoner
Be purged or guilty of this dread offence.
