Antonio: My Helena!
Paula: And when the sun was gone,
Came quiet, kissed me—O, go seek her, sir!
Antonio: Kissed you——?

Charles: Alone?
Antonio: Whither, quick, whither?
Paula: Ah, I do
Not know: but she——
Antonio: Pray, pray, tell out your dread.
Paula: Last night she said, "My heart is in my lord
Antonio's to beat or cease with it."
I learned her words—they seemed so pretty.
