In spite of duty. Duty ... Ah, I remember

I had a childish fondness for that name,

Dreamed I would serve God willingly. But now,

Now ’tis impossible.... Now if I serve,

I do his bidding with unwilling will;

Yet must I do it.

Re-enter Ferdinand.

Fer. Princess, I come to beg.... Alas! thy sorrow

Shews me a greater care.

Al.Nay; ask thy wish.
