Balthazar.
Erastus is my friend; and, while he lives,
Perseda never will remove her love.
Hieronimo.
Let not Erastus live to grieve great Solyman.
Balthazar.
Dear is Erastus in our princely eye.
Hieronimo.
But if he be your rival, let him die.
Balthazar.
Why, let him die; so love commandeth me:
Yet grieve I that Erastus should so die.
