Which suffers not a son’s uplifted hand

To strike a father, be he e’er so vile.

Did he not give him birth, and nourish him?

And when thy direst foe becomes thy slave,

Say, shouldst thou use revenge? No, rather shame him

With pity and all-softening charity,

Then on a golden bed thou lay’st thy soul,

And art on earth a blessed angel.

Uter. Brother, I do commend thee for this deed;

Worthy a prince, worthy a Briton, too.
