Aris. No word but that?

Ara. That is too much.

Aris. [Approaching] Too much?

Ara. I—faint again. Nay, touch me not!

Aris. Am I so perilous to thee? My hand

Has had no commerce yet with cruelty.

Ara. The moon with silver foot steps not more soft

Among the tears of night than falls thy touch

On me, who, poorer than the night, must go

Uncomforted. Thou'lt leave this place at once
