I pray thee eat.

Fer.Too late, ’twould be too late.

K. Say not too late: that word is death. Thou’rt brave.

Tho’not for me, yet for her sake I bid thee

Eat, drink, and live. So she may live, and thou—

The altitude of thrones may overlook

Such differences—I give her thee to wife.

Save us, I pray.

Fer.What hear I? wouldst thou then

Have given me in good faith Almeh to wife?
