_Allen_. Ah gratious Lord, I know this wretched child, And these two men that here lye murthered. _Vesu_. Do you, _Allenso_? _Allen_. I, my gracious Lord: It was _Pertillo_ my dead Unckles sonne. Now have my feares brought forth this fearefull childe Of endlesse care, and everlasting griefe! _Duke_. Lay hands upon _Allenso_, Gentlemen. Your presence doth confirme you had a share In the performance of this crueltie. _Allen_. I do confesse I have so great a share In this mishap, that I will give him thankes, That will let foorth my sorrow-wounded soule From out this goale of lamentation. _Duke_. Tis now too late to wish for hadiwist.[28] Had you withheld your hand from this attempt, Sorrow had never so imprisoned you. _Allen_. Oh my good Lord, do not mistake my case, And yet my griefe is sure infallible. The Lord of heaven can witnesse with my soule, That I am guiltelesse of your wrong suspect, But yet not griefelesse that the deed is done. |
