Locrine: A Tragedy
Sire, I cannot say.

LOCRINE.

LOCRINE.

Enough: an hour or half an hour is more Than wrangling words should stuff with barren store. Comfort may’st thou bring to her, if I may none, When all her father quickens in her son. In Cornish warfare if thou win thee praise, Thine shall men liken to thy grandsire’s days.

GUENDOLEN.

GUENDOLEN.

LOCRINE.

LOCRINE.

If heart be his—and if thy will it be.

GUENDOLEN.

GUENDOLEN.

LOCRINE.

LOCRINE.

GUENDOLEN.

GUENDOLEN.

What power is mine to speed him or to stay?

LOCRINE.
