I will not stir, nor wince, nor speak a word,

Nor look upon the iron angrily:

Thrust but these men away, and I’ll forgive you,

Whatever torment you do put me to.

Hubert. Go, stand within; let me alone with him.

Executioner. I am best pleas’d to be from such a deed. |[Exit.|

Arthur. Alas, I then have chid away my friend.

He hath a stern look, but a gentle heart;

Let him come back, that his compassion may

Give life to yours.
