You will not be able to release Earl Surrey; but if such is your command, I will myself see you to the ship that lies in the harbor for you ready to sail.

No one will hinder you, my lady, from embarking on it; Earl Surrey is not permitted to accompany you!--My lord, soon the night is at an end, and you know that it will be your last night.

The king has ordered that I am not to prevent this lady, if she wishes to spend this night with you in your room.

But she is allowed to do so only on the condition that the lights in your room remain burning.

That is the king's express will, and these are his own words: 'Tell Earl Surrey that I allow him to love his Geraldine, but that he is to open his eyes to see her! That he may see, you will give him a light; and I command him not to extinguish it so long as Geraldine is with him.
