Such is his evil destiny!

This were murder, Not justice. The most guilty should be heard.
BUTLER.

Dispatch in service pleases sovereigns.
GORDON.

GORDON.
O, wherefore open'd I the stronghold to him?
BUTLER.
His destiny and not the place destroys him.
GORDON.
Upon these ramparts, as beseem'd a soldier, I had fallen, defending the Emperor's citadel!
BUTLER.
Yes, and a thousand gallant men have perish'd.
GORDON.
