Mel. Here comes
The lady—
Berth.—And there you go. But do not! Give me
Another chance to please you! Hear me plead!
Mel. You 'll keep, then, to the lover, to the man?
(Enter the Duchess—followed by Adolf and Sabyne, and, after an interval, by the Courtiers.)
Berth. Good auspice to our meeting!
Duch. May it prove!
—And you, sir, will be Emperor one day?
