And if we’re of one mind, he shall go free,

And I ask nothing for it, or, if something,

Nothing I could not take. There is no king

In the wide world that, being so greatly wronged,

Could copy me, and give all vengeance up.

Although her marriage-day had all but come,

You carried her away; but I’ll show mercy.

Because you had the insolent strength of youth

You carried her away; but I’ve had time

To think it out through all these seven years.
