My advice: you have it. Where my honour weighed not,
Nor my long service finds me any favour,
Suspect not I would use a lady’s tears:
Tho’true it be, the grief that Almeh felt
Hath been tenfold increased, since the good prince
Who gave me life was asked to buy his own.
K. But if I free the rest and keep the prince?

Sa. A stinted favour brings no gladness. Yet
You could not more, you cannot, nay you are pledged.
