MORTADELLO
Is set on Christ. I pray His kingdom quickly come.
But, for myself, to-daylead me to martyrdom.
Come hither, bind these bleeding hands together fast !
[She holds out her hands toward the soldiers, wrist to
wrist.
SOLDIERS. O we dare not !
MONICA.
Your queen commands ; these are the last
Of all the words that I shall say till Heaven opes.
This is the golden gate and way of all my hopes.
THE LIEUTENANT. High saint and virgin, we obey.
MONICA.
Make fast the ropes !
[They bind MONICA in silence, weeping, and lead her
away.
