For oh, the jealous fears that have defiled me,

The visions I have called a lie in vain,

The hot hands I have seen laid on your beauty!

[To her look of helplessness.

O say it! for you gaze—as if you could not!

As if ... O what is wringing you! You can

Not say it—that no arms but mine have held you,

No lips but mine have ever lingered, ever—?

[A pitiful cry of distress breaks from within, then a hurry of feet and Marina rushes on anguished.

Marina.
