Senex.

O worthy sir, my cause, but slightly known,
May move the hearts of warlike Myrmidons,
And melt the corsic[236] rocks with ruthful[237] tears.

Hieronimo.

Say, father, tell me what's thy suit?

Senex.

No, sir, could my woes
Give way unto my most distressful words,
Then should I not in paper (as you see)
With ink bewray what blood began in me.

Hieronimo.

What's here? The humble supplication of Don
Bazulto, for his murdered son.
