Rh If you have a charitable heart, give me one dollar.

This is the firt time I was ever dictated by a beggar what to give him.

With one dollar you will ave a ditracted man.

I don’t chooe to give any more. Count, go on. [Exit Count—as the Baron follows, Frederick eizes him by the breat and draws his word.]

Your pure, or your life.

Here! here! eize and ecure him. [Some of the Gamekeepers run on, lay hold of Frederick, and diarm him.]

What have I done!

Take him to the catle, and confine him in one of the towers. I hall follow you immediately.

One favour I have to beg, one favour only.—I know that I am guilty, and am ready to receive the punihment my crime deerves. But I have a mother, who is expiring for want—pity her, if you cannot pity me—betow on her relief. If you will end to yonder hut, you will find that I do not impoe on you a falehood. For her it was I drew my word—for her I am ready to die.

Take him away, and imprion him where I told you. Rh
