ABLAMORE.
Who dares come here?… If I did not know…. I believe it is Palomides…. It is Astolaine's betrothed…. He has raised his head…. Is it you, Palomides?
Enter PALOMIDES.
PALOMIDES.
Yes, my father…. If I am suffered yet to call you by that name…. I come hither before the day and the hour….
ABLAMORE.
You are a welcome guest, whatever hour it be…. But what has happened? We did not expect you for two days yet…. Is Astolaine here, too?…
PALOMIDES.
No; she will come to-morrow. We have journeyed day and night. She was tired and begged me to come on before…. Are my sisters come?
