SCENE III.

Duke. Secretary. Secular Priest.

Secretary.

Until this very moment, honor’d Prince,

Have I refrain’d from calling in a man

Who, also sad, appears before thee now.

He is the priest who from the hand of death

Receiv’d thy daughter, and when hope was none

Of saving her, with all a father’s care

Provided everything that love could do.
