20 THE PITY OF LOVE SOPHIA O I do love thee, yet this cannot be.
Why dost thou blame me who am chained and tied By custom and by honour at the side Of one thou knowest how much I loathe and hate, I\Iy Philip, though thy beauty is so great, Forgive me and forget me !
PHILIP I forget!
never whilst with love abides regret ; And, for forgiveness, sweet, not I but thou Must pardon. Humbly to thy grace I bow A suppliant head that thou mayst doom or save.
SOPHIA 1 pardon thee.
PHILIP Another gift I cr
...ave.
SOPHIA I cannot give my word. I know not why They leave me here without some maid or spy. The very birds in cages are more free. I cannot tell how thou canst come to me Nor when.
PHILIP To-night, when the world lies asleep.
SOPHIA I cannot give my word. So many keep 21 THE PITY OF LOVE Watch in the palace wlio might unawares Track thee along the passages and stairs. Perchance I shall not be alone.
PHILIP My God!
SOPHIA Philip, this path have other lovers trod That now we tread. Love is no April jest, But a most venomous snake that eats the breast, And many times we swoon beneath its bite.
