I could have killed him ere he killed his wife,

And did not: he went off alive and well

And then effected this last feat—through me!

Me—not through you—dismiss that fear! 'T was you

Hindered me staying here to save her,—not

From leaving you and going back to him

And doing service in Arezzo. Come,

Instruct me in procedure! I conceive—

In all due self-abasement might I speak—

How you will deal with Guido: oh, not death!
