Val. I love, and know.

Duch. You love? How strange! I never cast a thought

On that! Just see our selfishness! You seemed

So much my own ... I had no ground—and yet,

I never dreamed another might divide

My power with you, much less exceed it.

Val. Lady,

I am yours wholly.

Duch. Oh, no, no, not mine!

'T is not the same now, never more can be.
