Was open fact; he had indeed for me

No single further glance, no press of hand—

He was by day about her when he could be.

And in the night his dreams betrayed to me

How firm she held his thought in grip; all that

Is true and more; but, for all that, it follows

Not yet that she must love him in requital

And less than all that she—ah no, ah no!

’Twas jealousy that tore me on—forgive!

(To Mariamne.) You too forgive!
