For wonders—well and good—
Can it be otherwise, where the whole world
Presses as toward a centre. My dear Daya,
Consider what you asked of me as owned;
That I do love her—that I can’t imagine
How I should live without her—that
DAYA.
Indeed!
Then, knight, swear to me you will call her yours,
Make both her present and eternal welfare.
TEMPLAR.
And how, how can I, can I swear to do
What is not in my power?
DAYA.
’Tis in your power,
A single word will put it in your power.
TEMPLAR.
So that her father shall not be against it.
DAYA.
