The sight of them will change my strength to cowardice:
What shall I do?
EHLEYPOOLIE.
And cannot see her.
RASINGA (pulling Ehleypoolie back as he is about to go out.)
Shall she be so debarr'd from entrance here,
Whose presence was a blessing and a grace!
Enter Artina, leading her youngest Child, and followed by Samar, leading his little sister. Rasinga hastens to meet her, and leads her in silence to the principal seat, at the same time motioning to Ehleypoolie and Mihdoony to withdraw, who immediately leave the apartment.
Here, take this seat, Artina.
ARTINA.
I come not here to sit; I come to kneel,
As now beseems a scorn'd forsaken wife,
Who pleads with strong affection for her children:
Who pleads in painful memory of love
