Scene II.—The banks of the Severn.
Enter Estrild and Sabrina.
SABRINA.
When will my father come again?
ESTRILD.
God knows,
Sweet.
SABRINA.
Hast thou seen how wide this water flows—
How smooth it swells and shines from brim to brim,
How fair, how full? Nay, then thine eyes are dim.
Thou dost not weep for fear lest evil men
Or that more evil woman—Guendolen
Didst thou not call her yesternight by name?—
Should put my father’s might in arms to shame?
What is she so to levy shameful strife
Against my sire and thee?
ESTRILD.
His wife! his wife!
