[drawing his cowl closer] No! Once before
I went along with him: I went to hell.
Renew that pain and foulness for his sake,
Because I love him——?

GENEVIVA.

Then because I love,
If nothing else will urge you—for my sake,
Only for mine.

MARCOMIR.

And would you be a harlot
Again, for him?

GENEVIVA.

Hush, never!

MARCOMIR.

No, we two
Should understand each other, for we dare not
Become what we have been. For my own sake
I will not leave the world.

GENEVIVA.
