Well, take this letter in your hands tonight ... to where I shall lead you, and give it to whom I shall appoint to receive it.

Dea

But explain ...

Phedro

There is little I may tell you, and much that you will have to believe. I know of Gwymplane unknown facts that would make him respected and rich to the end of his days, and of course you would not wish him always to remain a clown.

Dea

I love him too much to detain him in the little area of my wishes. Yet why should I carry this note?

Phedro

Because it must reach her Majesty by you before dawn.

Dea
