Monk. Thy words are madness, daughter,  
And speak a purpose unholy--thy lips are livid--  
Thine eyes are wild--tempt not the wrath divine!  
Pause ere too late!--oh, be not--be not rash!  
Swear not the oath--oh, swear it not!  
Lal. 'Tis sworn!  
III.  
An apartment in a Palace. Politian and Baldazzar.  
Baldazzar.------Arouse thee now, Politian!  
Thou must not--nay indeed, indeed, shalt not  
Give away unto these humors. Be thyself!  
Shake off the idle fancies that beset thee,  
And live, for now thou diest!  
Politian. Not so, Baldazzar! Surely I live.  
Bal. Politian, it doth grieve me  
To see thee thus.  
Pol. Baldazzar, it doth grieve me  
To give thee cause for grief, my honoured friend.
