Was to rejoice in my success like you?

Whom should I love but both of you?

Fest. I know not:

But know this, you, that 't is no will of mine

You should abjure the lofty claims you make;

And this the cause—I can no longer seek

To overlook the truth, that there would be

A monstrous spectacle upon the earth,

Beneath the pleasant sun, among the trees:

—A being knowing not what love is. Hear me!
