Man.Palicio is of noble blood,
My lord. Yourself have given him oft such praise
As by an enemy must be well deserved
Ere it be spoken. The king’s pardon proves
Justification: he is quit of treason.
We shall restore his rank, the loss of which,
Due to his grandsire in the civil wars,
Brings him no stain: nay, we shall further make him
Chief secretary, where his ancient zeal
For all the commons’ rights may still be shewn.
