Her. What says it then?
Meg. You've seen the prince.
Her. My lord!
Meg. You know what shadow hides him.
Her. No, no, no!
My oath, sir, I've not seen him!
Meg. I would trust
One negative, not three. Give him to me,
And you will know he lives. Let him be found
By Vardas' men, and when you wake to-morrow
The earth will be without him.
Her. No, not you!
I'll go to Cordiaz. He'll save the prince
As he would save his throne. You've taught me that.
Meg. He'd lose it so. Should Cordiaz to-night
Set Chartrien free, he'd rise without a lord
To bid him one good-morrow.
Her. Ziralay....
Meg. Ask him? An ass whose ears if visible
Would signal Mars! Say he had courage for you,
He'd blunder with the prince to Vardas' arms.
