Поля
Fear not; our plan was laid without your help,
Without your help it would have been accomplished,
Had she not signified her resolution
To owe her liberty to you alone.
LEICESTER
And can you, then, with certainty assure me
That in your plot my name has not been mentioned?
MORTIMER
You may depend upon it. How, my lord,
So scrupulous when help is offered you?
You wish to rescue Mary, and possess her;
You find confederates; sudden, unexpected,
The readiest means fall, as it were from Heaven,
Yet you show more perplexity than joy.
LEICESTER
We must avoid all violence; it is
Too dangerous an enterprise.
MORTIMER
Delay
Is also dangerous.
LEICESTER
I tell you, Sir,
'Tis not to be attempted —
MORTIMER
My lord,
Too hazardous for you, who would possess her;
But we, who only wish to rescue her,
We are more bold.
LEICESTER
Young man, you are too hasty
In such a thorny, dangerous attempt.
MORTIMER
And you too scrupulous in honor's cause.
LEICESTER
I see the trammels that are spread around us.
MORTIMER
And I feel courage to break through them all.
LEICESTER
Foolhardiness and madness, is this courage?
MORTIMER
This prudence is not bravery, my lord.
LEICESTER
You surely wish to end like Babington.
MORTIMER
You not to imitate great Norfolk's virtue.
LEICESTER
Norfolk ne'er won the bride he wooed so fondly.
MORTIMER
But yet he proved how truly he deserved her.
LEICESTER
If we are ruined, she must fall with us.
MORTIMER
If we risk nothing, she will ne'er be rescued.
LEICESTER
You will not weigh the matter, will not hear;
With blind and hasty rashness you destroy
The plans which I so happily had framed.
MORTIMER
And what were then the plans which you had framed?
What have you done then to deliver her?
Without your help it would have been accomplished,
Had she not signified her resolution
To owe her liberty to you alone.
LEICESTER

That in your plot my name has not been mentioned?
