And yet you vowed, Ever you wone me, my Lord you never saw object, That so much pleased your appetite. Oh my Lord, Your justice on this cursed witch, this thief, This morning I have lost out of my Cabinet The so much valued Jewel, which your bounty Bestowed upon me, none but she and I Having been there since; she must be thief: Force her to restitution. Oh my Lord, what has your fury acted, Dear Albertus. Oh my deer Albert. Must not sirrah, Ent. Dutch. Where is your Lord? Thinkest thou he is So much addicted to his ease, he will Neglect his business, go in and tell him, The Governors of Egers, Colonel Gordon, And Colonel Lesle are without upon Affairs of consequence. Foolish boy, go in, I will be thy security. Oh my Lord, What has your fury acted? this your sudden Murdering this innocent youth, does add new horrors To your strange cruelties. My Lord, Your hands are purpled so in innocent blood, Tears cannot wash the tincture of: my self Am as deep guilty as you in the slaughter Of Isabella, she was innocent, The Jewel I accused her of, this morning, Grief to my soul, I've found, pray heaven, repentance May expiate our offences.
