THE QUEEN. That is because you love me at last.
THE PRINCE. I could kill you.
THE QUEEN. You seek in vain to escape love.
The sailor staggers in, sees the Prince, and stops.
THE SAILOR. I am bidden to tell you—
THE PRINCE. Be off!—What is it you say?
The Queen stands still, with her hands over her face.
THE SAILOR. The ship is ready.
THE PRINCE. Go!
The sailor walks away.
