I 'll give thee a pardon For this murder. (BOSOLA: Ha!) Yes, and 'tis The largest bounty I can study to do thee. By what authority didst thou execute This bloody sentence? (BOSOLA: By yours.) Mine! was I her judge? Did any ceremonial form of law Doom her to not-being? Did a complete jury Deliver her conviction up i' the court? Where shalt thou find this judgment register'd, Unless in hell? See, like a bloody fool, Thou 'st forfeited thy life, and thou shalt die for 't.
