So close you live and yet so far apart!

And must I rend this web, tear up, break down

The sweet and palpitating mystery

That makes her sacred? You—for you I mean,

Shall I speak, shall I not speak?

Mil. Speak!

Tresh. I will,

Is there a story men could—any man

Could tell of you, you would conceal from me?

I'll never think there 's falsehood on that lip.
