Audacious slave!
LEICESTER
To turn me from the door!
If for a Burleigh she be visible,
She must be so to me!
BURLEIGH
My lord, you are
Too bold, without permission to intrude.
LEICESTER
My lord, you are too arrogant, to take
The lead in these apartments. What! Permission!
I know of none who stands so high at court
As to permit my doings, or refuse them.
[Humbly approaching ELIZABETH.
'Tis from my sovereign's lips alone that I —
ELIZABETH (without looking at him)
Out of my sight, deceitful, worthless traitor!
LEICESTER
'Tis not my gracious queen I hear, but Burleigh,
My enemy, in these ungentle words.
To my imperial mistress I appeal;
Thou hast lent him thine ear; I ask the like.
ELIZABETH
Speak, shameless wretch! Increase your crime – deny it.
LEICESTER
Dismiss this troublesome intruder first.
Withdraw, my lord; it is not of your office
To play the third man here: between the queen
And me there is no need of witnesses.
Retire —
ELIZABETH (to BURLEIGH)
Remain, my lord; 'tis my command.
LEICESTER
What has a third to do 'twixt thee and me?
I have to clear myself before my queen,
My worshipped queen; I will maintain the rights
Which thou hast given me; these rights are sacred,
And I insist upon it, that my lord
Retire.
ELIZABETH
This haughty tone befits you well.
LEICESTER
It well befits me; am not I the man,
The happy man, to whom thy gracious favor
Has given the highest station? this exalts me
Above this Burleigh, and above them all.
Thy heart imparted me this rank, and what
Thy favor gave, by heavens I will maintain
At my life's hazard. Let him go, it needs
Two moments only to exculpate me.
ELIZABETH
Think not, with cunning words, to hide the truth.
LEICESTER
That fear from him, so voluble of speech:
But what I say is to the heart addressed;
And I will justify what I have dared
To do, confiding in thy generous favor,
Before thy heart alone. I recognize
No other jurisdiction.
ELIZABETH
Base deceiver
'Tis this, e'en this, which above all condemns you.
My lord, produce the letter.
[To BURLEIGH.
BURLEIGH
Here it is.
LEICESTER

She must be so to me!
