As though a drudge of ours, with not a source

Of happy thoughts except in us; and yet

Strafford has wife and children, household cares,

Just as if we had never been. Ah, sir,

You are moved, even you, a solitary man

Wed to your cause—to England if you will!

Pym. Yes—think, my soul—to England! Draw not back!

Cha. Prevent that Bill, sir! All your course seems fair

Till now. Why, in the end, 't is I should sign

The warrant for his death! You have said much
