too sure I am that wretched brother, Thy vanquished foe, a poor abandoned captive. Amelia 117 DUKE. Thou art my brother still, and I forgive thee ; But 'tis most strange, and most unnatural: Could the king find no instrument but thee To execute his vengeance on my head? What had I done to Vamir? VAMIR. Made his life Unhappy : would that thou hadst taken it from me ! DUKE. Dreadful effects of civil strife! VAMIR. More dreadful Are the deep wounds that pierce the heart of Vamir. DUKE. Against ano...ther foe I might have shown A soldier's courage, but I pity thee. VAMIR. Pity thyself, the wretch who has betrayed His country, and deceived the king that loved him ; A traitor, and unworthy of thy race. DUKE. Brand me not, Vamir, with opprobrious name Of traitor, lest I should forget myself, And spurn thee for the insult : no, my brother, I'm not that base, ungrateful wretch thou thinkest me; Thou seest me ready to restore fair peace, And heal the wounds of my divided country. VAMIR. Thou heal our wounds!
