The Princess (looks pensively from one to another. They lower their eyes): I see more clearly now. I see you all. Surely the darkness shall not hide you nor the light of the lamp.
It is I. What do you want of me?
You dreamed of me, you say? Well, I am here.
—Why do you keep your eyes lowered? Are you afraid to look at me?
The Third Watcher: There is nothing that we want,
O woman, and we do not ask you for anything.
The Princess (looking at him): So it is you. I know you now. (She turns towards the first watcher) And you! (She turns towards the second watcher) And you! (She turns towards the third watcher) And you! (She turns towards the fourth watcher)
The Fourth Watcher (rising hurriedly): Make way! Let me go!
The Princess (stretching her hand towards him): Stay!
The Fourth Watcher: I understand only your beauty! It is all a play but why does she turn herself towards us
