Restore his people’s favour, thou hast the power,
And thou wilt do it.
Hild. Madam, thou true daughter of the Church,
Hath this man used thee well that thou shouldst sue
For him our favour? Hath he not been false
To thee, to Germany and Holy Church?
Thou art a woman, use a woman’s art,
Break his presumption, soften his rude heart,
And we will soften ours. Meantime, to thee,
