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.
