[Aside.] Yet wherefore stay? Who does this but myself?

Had I apprised her that I come to do

Just this, what more could she acknowledge? No,

She sees into my heart's core! What is it

Feeds either cheek with red, as June some rose?

Why turns she from me? Ah fool, over-fond

To dream I could call up ...

... What never dream

Yet feigned! 'Tis love! Oh Anael, speak to me!
