To-morrow? No, to-day! The crown of love

Is sacrifice; I have not given thee

Enough! Ah, fold me in thine arms,--take all!

[She takes his hands and puts them around her neck; he holds her from him, with one hand on her shoulder, the other behind her head.]

NAAMAN:

Thou art too dear to injure with a kiss,--

Too dear for me to stain thy purity,

Or leave one touch upon thee to regret!

How should I take a gift may bankrupt thee,

Or drain the fragrant chalice of thy love
