Once more, deceptive shape, you dare to tread
Before my eyes. Who are you? Let me know!

ALMA.

I am yourself!

THE KING.

Myself! But I am that!

ALMA.

Which of us two is right will soon appear!
Before you, mangled by a beast of prey,
There lies a corpse. The blame belongs to you!

THE KING.

I murdered him! How know you of such things?

ALMA.
