Listen in the reader

Hear me, rash man; on thy allegiance hear me. Since thou hast striven to make us break our vow, Which, nor our nature, nor our place can bear, We banish thee for ever from our sight And kingdom. If, when three days are expir'd, Thy hated trunk be found in our dominions, That moment is thy death—Away!
