PALOMIDES.

I have no idea myself. I walk still in darkness…. Speak again, that
I may find you. You seem to be on the edge of an unbounded light….

ALLADINE.

Come! come! I have borne without a word, but I can bear no more….

PALOMIDES (groping forward).

You are there? I thought you so far away!… My tears deceived me. I am here, and I see you. Oh, your hands are wounded! They have bled upon your gown, and the knots have entered into the flesh. I have no longer any weapons. They have taken away my poniard. I will tear them off. Wait! wait! I have the knots.

ALLADINE.

Take off the bandage first that makes me blind….
