What waits he for? Let her be lost in him,

This rare, this unmatched wonder of a man,

And I will cast this shadow from my life,

Heave off the weight that seventeen years I've borne,

And walk the lighter, for I've known what 'tis

To step high 'neath a load. O, let them wed

As soon as may be, Hubert. Why not now?

Hub. He waits to win her heart.

La. Alb. Cares he for that?

You can command her, Hubert.
