And beg of Heaven to charge the bill on me:
Behold what price I offer, and how dear
To buy Sebastian’s life.
Emperor. Let after-reckonings trouble fearful fools;
I’ll stand the trial of those trivial crimes:
But since thou begg’st me to prescribe my terms,
The only I can offer are thy love;
And this one day of respite to resolve.
Grant or deny, for thy next word is Fate;
And Fate is deaf to Prayer.
