From Lovers' Vows by August von Kotzebue

But I have a mother, who is expiring for want—pity her, if you cannot pity me—bestow on her relief. If you will send to yonder hut, you will find that I do not impose on you a falsehood. For her it was I drew my sword—for her I am ready to die. (BARON: Take him away, and imprison him where I told you.) (as he is forced off by the keepers). Woe to that man to whom I owe my birth! [ (Exit.)
