Pal.But for this cursed wound

I had fled. To cure it must I risk my soul?

Fool that I was, had I escaped with him

I might have found a surgeon—now when she comes

I will say nothing. Nothing ... yet, that’s no hope;

For seeing her I must love her: and if I fail

To win her wholly, I must lose my soul

She is here. (Aside.) Ah! what is this?

Enter Margaret, with Rosso blindfold.

MARGARET (to Rosso).
