Or break away, if the chance favour us.

NAISI.

They would but drag you from me, stained with blood.

Their barbarous weapons would but mar that beauty,

And I would have you die as a queen should—

In a death chamber. You are in my charge.

We will wait here, and when they come upon us,

I’ll hold them from the doors, and when that’s over,

Give you a cleanly death with this grey edge.

DEIDRE.
