Hark!

[The Queen runs to the door again. Oozizi stretches out her arms to the Queen.

O, lady, never leave the golden palace.

[The Queen listens; all is silent; she looks outside.

Queen: I see the green fields gleaming. Strange flowers are standing among them, like princes I have not known.

Oozizi: Oh, lady, speak not of the bewildering fields. They are all enchanted with Summer, and they have maddened the Princes. It is dangerous to look at them, lady.

[The Queen gazes on over the fields.

And yet you look.

Queen: I would fain go far over the strange soft fields; far and far to the high heathery lands——

Oozizi: Lady, all is quiet; there is no danger; you must not leave the palace.
