He’s a blessed man. He shall see Thebes again, and call to arms The bold young men that, when he bids ’em charge, Fall on like fire. Arcite shall have a fortune, If he dare make himself a worthy lover, Yet in the field to strike a battle for her; And, if he lose her then, he’s a cold coward. How bravely may he bear himself to win her If he be noble Arcite, thousand ways! Were I at liberty, I would do things Of such a virtuous greatness that this lady, This blushing virgin, should take manhood to her And seek to ravish me. (JAILER: My lord for you I have this charge to—) To discharge my life? (JAILER: No, but from this place to remove your lordship; The windows are too open.) Devils take ’em, That are so envious to me! Prithee, kill me.
