Princess: I will not see him, I will have nothing
to do with him; I tell you if he had the rents of
the whole world I would not go with him by day
or by night, on foot or on horseback, in light or in
darkness, in company or alone!
(Queen has gone while she cries this out.)
Nurse: The luck of the seven Saturdays on
himself and on the Queen!
Princess: Oh, Muime, do not let him come
near me! Have you no way to help me?
Nurse: It's myself that could help you if I
was not under bonds not to speak!
Princess: What is it you know? Why won't
you say one word?
Nurse: He put me under spells.... There
now, my tongue turned with the word to be dumb.
Taig: (At the window.) Not a fear of me,
Queen. It won't be long till I bring the Princess
around.
Princess: I will not stay! Keep him here till
I will hide myself out of sight! (Goes.)
Taig: (Coming in.) They told me the Princess
was in it.
