Princess S. What shall I do? This moment you must fly!
Stand not, your majesty! ’T will be too late!

(Prince Salm-Salm comes to door)

Thank God, my husband! His majesty ’s betrayed!
You ’ve never doubted me!

Prince Salm. Betrayed?

Max. No, prince,—

Prince Salm. I ’ll visit every post!

Princess S. You but lose time.

(The prince hurries out)

Oh God! Oh God!

Max. Sweet princess, be not troubled.
There is no cause.
