THE BRIDE: A DRAMA.
JUAN.
That thou with thy enchafed and vengeful son
May'st use a mother's influence to save him.
MONTEBESA.
For herein I am zealous as thyself.
JUAN.
MONTEBESA.
JUAN.
Ere he can reach the shelter of his chamber,
Where men are wont to cherish moody wrath;
And we will so beset him with our prayers,
That we shall move his soul, if it be possible.
The fair Artina too must come with us
To beg her brother's life.
MONTEBESA.
And do it warily, lest sudden grief
O'erwhelm her totally.
JUAN.
And, lady, let us find her instantly;
We have no time to spare.[Exeunt.
