Nay pray you Madam rise, or I'll kneel with you. I would bring you on your knees, were I a woman. What is it can deserve so poor a name, As a suit to me? this more than mortal form Was fashioned to command and not entreat, Your will but known is served. Great Sir, my father My brave deserving father, but that sorrow Forbids the use of speech. I understand you, Without the aids of those interpreters That fall from your fair eyes, I know you labour, the liberty of your father, at the least an equal hearing to acquit himself: and 'tis not to endear my service to you, though I must add and pray you with patience hear it, 'tis hard to be effected, in respect the State's incensed against him: all presuming the world of outrages his impious son, turned worse than Pirate in his cruelties expressed to this poor Country, could not be with such ease put in execution, if your father (of late our great Admiral) held not or correspondency, or connived at his proceedings. And must he then suffer, his cause unheard? As yet it is resolved so, in their determination. But suppose, for I would nourish hope, not kill it in you, I should divert the torrent of their purpose, and render them that are implacable, impartial Judges, and not swayed with spleen: will you, I dare not say in recompense, for that includes a debt you cannot owe me, but in your liberal bounty, in my suit to you be gracious? You entreat of me, Sir, what I should offer to you, with confession that you much undervalue your own worth, should you receive me. Since there come with you not lustful fires, but fair and lawful flames. but I must be excused,' 'tis now no time for me to think of hymeneal joys. Can he (and pray you, Sir, consider it) that gave me life, and faculties to love, be, as he is now ready to be devoured by ravenous wolves, and at that instant, I but entertain a thought of those delights. in which perhaps my ardour meets with your? duty and piety forbid it, Sir. But this effected, and your father free, what is your answer? Every minute to me will be a tedious age till our embraces are warrantable to the world. I urge no more, confirm it with a kiss. I doubly feel it. This would do better a-bed, the business ended, they are the lovingest Couple. Here comes my father with the Council of war, deliver your petition, and leave the rest to me. I am sorry, Lady, your father's guilt compels your innocence to ask what I in justice must deny. For my sake, Sir, pray you receive, and read it. Thou foolish boy, I can deny thee nothing. Thus far we are happy. Madam quit the place, you shall hear how we succeed. Goodness reward you. It is apparent, and we stay too long o censure Malefort as he deserves.
