Now thaws in torrents from my eyes; yet more,

Pity a noble lady—my wife—his mother—

Who sits bow’d down with sorrow and disgrace

In her starved house.

King. This is a case, Don Lope,

For my Chief Justice, not for me.

Urr. Alas!

How little hope has he who, looking up

To dove-eyed mercy, sees but in her place

Severely-sworded justice!
