Farewell!

CARLOMAN.

[arrested] O Geneviva!

GENEVIVA.

Not my name,
Never my name again. Say, holy father—
They take new titles who renounce the world?

CARLOMAN.

[with flushing eagerness]
Then you too will renounce it? oh, the joy!
There is a strange new passion in your eyes.
Speak to me ... but you cannot! I could take
No leave of you in your fierce, worldly mood;
Now all is changed.

GENEVIVA.

Yes, all. How long ago
It seems since we were married!

CARLOMAN.
