ALTOUM

’Tis your strange prayer never to marry. Well,

Henceforth I vow no more to oppose your whim.

One year has passed and one day yet remains

Of my rash law that dooms your lovers to death.

[He points to the new head upon the wall]

For that one day, to celebrate my vow

And do you pleasure, I have appointed these

Princes of Faraway, to usher in

Our new régime. Sir Capocomico
