Surgeon.

Art ill,
Madam?—

The Lady (rising).

Thanks, sir. But sorrow cannot kill.
Would that it could! Nay, I sit by his side—
Thus. Now tell all—all—all.

Surgeon.

You cannot hide
The deadly faintness that has paled your cheek;
Let me get—

The Lady.

Nothing. Nothing can avail,
Good sir; my very heart’s blood has turned pale.
Struck by God’s lightning, do you talk to me
Of faintness? Only tell your tale—speak, speak;
You saw him die?

Surgeon.
