I mean thy praise, for she is worthy of thée.

Nay, while she lives I go not from the world;

Death sucks me not, though on his iron ladder

My years descend: she will be Thrasea still,

Without his struggles. Let me acquaint thee, son,

With one condition which I have thought to make,

Ere I commit her to thy trust.

Pr.Good Thrasea,

I know not how to thank thee; but, forgive me,

My secret was not this.
