PALOMIDES.

I too was sleeping. I heard nothing, and I had a band across my eyes ere I could open them. I struggled in the darkness; but they were stronger than I…. I must have passed under deep vaults, for I felt the cold fall on my shoulders; and I went down so far I could not count the steps…. Did no one speak to thee?

ALLADINE.

No; no one spoke. I heard some one weeping as he walked; and then I fainted….

PALOMIDES (kissing her).

Alladine!

ALLADINE.

How gravely thou dost kiss me!…
