But Lelio must not live, unless he be resolved To High to Venice, that thou mayest return. Father, they will him hence, that will be actors In his Tragedy, unless he to Venice go speedily, And quit thee from this exile with his head, Oh Lelio sue our pardons, plead for us, Our judgements were disgraced by our loves.
