No, I wrote it to a lover, and, what is more, to one greatly beloved. (GARC: And can I, O perfidious woman...?) Bridle, unworthy Prince, the excess of your base fury. Although you do not sway my heart, and I am accountable here to none but myself, yet for your sole punishment I will clear myself from the crime of which you so insolently accuse me. You shall be undeceived; do not doubt it. I have my defence at hand. You shall be fully enlightened; my innocence shall appear complete. You yourself shall be the judge in your own cause, and pronounce your own sentence. (GARC: I cannot understand such mysterious talk.) You shall soon comprehend it to your cost. Eliza come hither!
