A TRAGEDY.
73
As Rayner's son have done a deed of shame.
Come, lead me back with thee, for I must see him.
BERTRAM.
He might have grace!
HARDIBRAND.
BERTRAM.
With one most dear to him. But an hour hence
I will conduct you to his cell.
HARDIBRAND.
Mean time, stay thou with me, and tell me more
Of this unhappy youth: I have a mind.
With the good keeper's leave, to view the prison.
(Exeunt.
Enter Mira and Alice by opposite sides, both muffed up in cloaks and their faces conceal'd.)
MIRA (stopping Alice).
'Tis I, a visitor to these grim walls,
On the same errand with thyself. How goes it
With our enthralled colleague? doth he promise
Silence to keep in that which touches us
Of this transaction, for the which he's bound?
