I cannot think you love me as you say,
Unless you do make good what you have sworn. KING EDWARD. No more; thy husband and the Queen shall die. Fairer thou art by far than Hero was, Beardless Leander not so strong as I: He swom an easy current for his love, But I will through a Hellespont of blood, To arrive at Cestus where my Hero lies. COUNTESS. Nay, you'll do more; you'll make the River to With their heart bloods that keep our love asunder, Of which my husband and your wife are twain. KING EDWARD. Thy beauty makes them guilty of their death And gives in evidence that they shall die; Upon which verdict I, their Judge, condemn them. COUNTESS. [Aside.] O perjured beauty, more corrupted Judge! When to the great Star-chamber o'er our heads The universal Sessions calls to count This packing evil, we both shall tremble for it. KING EDWARD. What says my fair love? is she resolute? |
