And dragged me forth. I knew I was betrayed;

I had entered but that morning in the town;

I was not known to them, nor did the hirelings

Look on my face. They led me straight to prison,

Thrust me in a cell so dank and dark and small,

That to be built alive into the grave

Were not more horrible.

Mar.Hugo would have killed thee.

Pal. Or let me starve; or else some gentle mercy;

Gouged my live eyeballs out, or lopped my hands.
