ONELIA
These to such souls are mirth, but to mine, none.
Away.
Exit Cornego, Enter Cardinal.
CARDINAL
Peace to you, Lady.
ONELIA
I will not sin so much as to hope for peace
And 'tis a mock ill suits your gravity.
CARDINAL
I come to knit the nerves of your lost strength,
To build your ruins up, to set you free
From this your voluntary banishment,
And give new being to your murdered fame.
ONELIA
What Aesculapius <6> can do this?
CARDINAL
'Tis from the King I come.
ONELIA
A name I hate.
Oh, I am deaf now to your embassy.
CARDINAL
Hear what I speak.
ONELIA
Your language breathed from him
Is death's sad doom upon a wretch condemned.
