Char. I hope they are not [235]
So ignorant in any way of profit,
As to neglect a possibility
To get their owne, by seeking it from that
Which can returne them nothing, but ill fame,
And curses for their barbarous cruelties. [240]
3 Cred. What thinke you of the offer?
2 Cred. Very well.
1 Cred. Accept it by all meanes: let’s shut him vp,
He is well-shaped and has a villanous tongue,
And should he study that way of reuenge,
As I dare almost sweare he loues a wench, [245]
We haue no wiues, nor neuer shall get daughters
That will hold out against him.
Du Croy. What’s your answer?
2 Cred. Speake you for all.
1 Cred. Why let our executions
That lye vpon the father, bee return’d
Vpon the sonne, and we release the body. [250]
Nou. Se. The Court must grant you that.
Char. I thanke your Lordships,
They haue in it confirm’d on me such glory,
As no time can take from me: I am ready,
Come lead me where you please: captiuity
That comes with honour, is true liberty. [255]
Exit Charmi, Cred. & Officers.
