Oh, she shall pay me for it with her life! Is the death-warrant ready? (BURLEIGH: 'Tis prepared As you commanded.) She shall surely die-- He shall behold her fall, and fall himself! I've driven him from my heart. No longer love, Revenge alone is there: and high as once He stood, so low and shameful be his fall! A monument of my severity, As once the proud example of my weakness. Conduct him to the Tower; let a commission Of peers be named to try him. He shall feel In its full weight the rigor of the law. (BURLEIGH: But he will seek thy presence; he will clear----) How can he clear himself? Does not the letter Convict him. Oh, his crimes are manifest!
