Guin. Arthur, thou wilt save me?

Arthur. My Queen, as the king I may not. My heart is hell.

Put thy trust in Heaven.

Guin. ’Tis a dread death.

Arthur. Madam, could Arthur save thee he would. If thou diest so doth my joy in this world—keep thy heart.

Guin. ’Fore God, I am innocent.

Arthur. Thou must trust to Heaven.

Guin. That I do. (Rises and takes her state.)

Court Chamberlain. Guinevere, Queen of Britain, of this dread crime whereof thou art accused what hast thou to say?
