GOVERNOR Still doth this man, or rather god of war, Batter our walls and beat our turrets down; And to resist with longer stubbornness Or hope of rescue from the Sultan’s power Were but to bring our wilful overthrow And make us desperate of our threatened lives.
We see his tents have now been alterèd With terrors to the last and cruell’st hue; His coal-black colours everywhere advanced Threaten our city with a general spoil; 10 And if we should with common rites of arms Offer our safeties to h...is clemency, I fear the custom proper to his sword, Which he observes as parcel of his fame, Intending so to terrify the world, By any innovation or remorse Will never be dispensed with till our deaths.
Therefore, for these our harmless virgins’ sakes, Whose honours and whose lives rely on him, Let us have hope that their unspotted prayers, 20 Their blubbered cheeks, and hearty humble moans Will melt his fury into some remorse, And use us like a loving conqueror.
FIRST VIRGIN If humble suits or imprecations, Uttered with tears of wretchedness and blood Shed from the heads and hearts of all our sex – Some made your wives, and some your children – Might have entreated your obdurate breasts To entertain some care of our securities 30 Whiles only danger beat upon our walls, These more than dangerous warrants of our death Had never been erected as they be, Nor you depend on such weak helps as we.
