Can pawn it self to buy thy remedy.
KING EDWARD. If thou speakst true, then have I my redress: Engage thy power to redeem my Joys, And I am joyful, Countess; else I die. COUNTESS. I will, my Liege. KING EDWARD. Swear, Countess, that thou wilt. COUNTESS. By heaven, I will. KING EDWARD. Then take thy self a little way a side, And tell thy self, a King doth dote on thee; Say that within thy power it doth lie To make him happy, and that thou hast sworn To give him all the Joy within thy power: Do this, and tell me when I shall be happy. COUNTESS. All this is done, my thrice dread sovereign: That power of love, that I have power to give, Thou hast with all devout obedience; Employ me how thou wilt in proof thereof. |
