Vor. How! do ye murmur? Must I then humble,

And stoop the neck to bear my children’s yoke?

Begone, I say! lest that my present wrath

Make me forget the place by blood I hold,

And break the tie ’twixt father and his child.

Wort. We shall retire, my lord.

Vor. Here sit, fair maid! if I presage not vainly,

Thou shalt, ere long, by right assume this place.

Row. How can I merit love of such a King?

An humble vassal only.
