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.
