Rosamund, Queen of the Lombards: A Tragedy
well worth all glory man may give— Against thine Almachildes.

ALBOVINE.

ALBOVINE.

Has the boy Transgressed again in awless heat of speech And kindled wrath in thee against him—thee, Who stood’st between my wrath and him?

ROSAMUND.

ROSAMUND.

I would His were no more transgression than of speech. He hath wronged—I bid thee ask of me no more— A noble maiden. Till her shame be healed, Her name is dead upon my lips and his, Who is yet not all ignoble.

ALBOVINE.

ALBOVINE.

He shall die Except he wed her, and she will to wed.

ROSAMUND.

ROSAMUND.

That surely will she.

ALBOVINE.

ALBOVINE.

Bid him hither.

ROSAMUND.

ROSAMUND.

See, There strides he through the sunshine toward the shade. How light and high he steps! He sees thee. Bid him— Beckon him in.

ALBOVINE.
