An honour that, surpassing my desert,

Yea, and ambition, frights me. Good my lord,

Your secretary, Don Cesar,—

To whom you almost trust the government

Of your dominions,—whom you wholly love,

I also love, and would not steal from him

A confidence that is by right his own;

Call him, my lord: into his trusty heart

Pour out your own; let not my loyalty

To you endanger what I owe to him;
