Prince: Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,

Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel,-

Will they not hear? What woe! you men, you beasts,

That quench the fire of your pernicious rage

With purple fountains issuing from your veins,

On pain of torture, from those bloody hands

Throw your mis-temper'd weapons to the ground,

And hear the sentence of your moved prince.
