Where goest thou, Yvette?

Yvette

To Séraphine,

Beneath the Lanterne, Sign of the Hour Glass!

De Vardes

Hear and obey! It is a dying man

Speaks to thee now and with authority!—

Thy seigneur too, and head of all thy house.

When I am dead, the last of the De Vardes

Will be thyself, my cousin!—All song doth say
