The Duke of Gandia by Algernon Charles Swinburne
page 9 of 37 (24%)
That dims the sweetest eyes love ever lit
With light that mocks the morning?

VANNOZZA

Nay, my lord,
I know not--nay, I knew not if I wept.

ALEXANDER

Our sons and Christ's and Peter's whom we praise,
Are they--are these--fallen out?

FRANCESCO

Not I with him,
Nor he, I think, with me.

CAESAR

Forbid it, God!
The God that set thee where thou art, and there
Sustains thee, bids the love he kindles bind
Brother to brother.

ALEXANDER

God or no God, man
Must live and let man live--while one man's life
Galls not another's. Fools and fiends are men
