Seg. Ay, but what some precocious warmth may spill,

May not an early frost as surely kill?

King. But, Segismund, my son, whose quick discourse

Proves I have not extinguished and destroy’d

However it condemn me for the fault

Of keeping a good light so long eclipsed,

Reflect! This is the moment upon which

Those stars, whose eyes, although we see them not,

By day as well as night are on us still,
