Not once look'd after?
Madam,120
Why d'you throw away your tears on one
That's irrecoverable?
Sabrina. Why? Therefore, sir,
Because he's irrecoverable.
Orsabrin. But why on him? he did not make him so.
Sabrina. I do confess my anger is unjust,125
But not my sorrow, sir.
Forgive these tears, my Samorat:
The debts of nature must be paid, though from
The stock of love:
Should they not, sir?130
Samorat. Yes:
But thus the precious minutes pass; and time,
Ere I have breath'd the sighs due to our parting,
Will be calling for me.
Sabrina. Parting!
Samorat. Oh yes, Sabrina! I must part,135
As day does from the world, not to return
Till night be gone, till this dark cloud be over.
Here to be found were foolishly to make
A present of my life unto mine enemy.
Retire into thy chamber, fair; there thou140
Shalt know all.
Sabrina. I know too much already.[Exeunt
Re-enter Phontrel
Phontrel. Hold rope for me, and then hold rope for him.
Why, this is the wisdom of the law now: a prince loses a
subject, and does not think himself paid for the loss, till145
he loses another. Well! I will do my endeavour to
make him a saver; for this was Samorat.[Exit
Scene II
Enter Samorat and Orsabrin bleeding
Orsabrin. Let it bleed on. You shall not stir, I swear.
Samorat. Now, by the friendship that I owe thee, and
The gods beside, I will.
Noble youth,
Were there no danger in the wound, yet would5
The loss of blood make thee unfit for travel.
My servants wait me for direction—
