’Twill be the bridal hour?

Raim. It will not, love!

That hour will bring no bridal! Naught of this

To human ear; but speed thou hither—fly,

When evening brings that signal. Dost thou heed?

This is no meeting by a lover sought

To breathe fond tales, and make the twilight groves

And stars attest his vows; deem thou not so,

Therefore denying it! I tell thee, Constance!

If thou wouldst save me from such fierce despair
