I can forgive thee. Hear me! She doth not hear me.

She doth not breathe. Her eyes are fixed and sightless.

Her hands are cold.

My God, oh, if I have killed her! Margaret, Margaret!

Dost thou not hear?—I have killed her.—Margaret!

I do forgive thee. I forgive thee all.

O God, she is dead, she is dead.—Now if I kiss her,

If she can feel (kissing). She stirs. O, Margaret,

Hear me. I do forgive thee all.

Mar.Giovanni:
