Second Man.
Not all.
Brand.
As you have heard:—
Nor priest shall come, nor sacrament.
Second Man.
She begg'd it, bitterly distress'd
First Man.
Priest, once she bore you on her breast
Brand.
[Clenching his hands.]

My kinsman and my enemy.

Brand.
[To First Man.]
Go; tell her still: God's wine and bread
Must on a spotless board be spread.
[The Men go.
Agnes.
I tremble Brand. You seem a Sword
Swung flaming by a wrathful Lord!
