Bert. And this is your
Determinate sentence?
Cam. Not to be revoked.
Bert. Farewell, then, fairest cruel! all thoughts in me
Of women perish. Let the glorious light
Of noble war extinguish Love's dim taper.
That only lends me light to see my folly:
Honour, be thou my ever-living mistress,
And fond affection, as thy bond-slave, serve thee!
[Exit.
Cam. How soon my sun is set, he being absent,
Never to rise again! What a fierce battle
Is fought between my passions!
Syl. I perceive
He has his answer: now must I step in
To comfort her. [Comes forward.] You have found, I hope, sweet lady,
Some difference between a youth of my pitch,
And this bugbear Bertoldo. Despair not; I
May be in time entreated.
Cam. Be so now, to leave me.—
Lights for my chamber! O my heart!
[Exeunt.
