Thou wouldst do to thy foe as he to thee:

But Ferdinand is not thy prisoner,

Nor can be spared: his brother, prince Enrique,

Whom thou didst truly capture,—tho’my purpose

Was to require his promise to return,—

Him will I give his freedom for thy sake:

If he return he shall not be detained.

En. I thank your majesty: but for my part

I am but a traveller, that took occasion

Of this adventure to inspect your land.
