Nay; he only scorns to sin

Against my father's greatness.

But to win

A princess! Doth his heart not leap for pride?

He honoureth not the hand that gave the bride.

I sec. He trembles for Orestes' wrath?

Aye, that would move him. But beside, he hath

A gentle heart.

Strange! A good man. I swear

He well shall be requited.

Whensoe'er

Our wanderer comes again!

Thy mother stays

Unmoved 'mid all thy wrong?

A lover weighs

More than a child in any woman's heart.
