Suspended now in the interregnum ...
Hu.Enough!
Thou dost admit the act: ’tis downright treason.
I’ll hear no answer. Though thou wouldst deny
My authority, thou shalt not doubt my power.
Thou art my prisoner. To-night the embassy
Will sail for Spain. Thou goest with them to plead
Thy cause before the king.
Man.I shall be ready, sire.
