For, first—no sooner in, than he 's apprised

Fortunes have changed; you are all-powerful here,

The lady as powerless: he stands fast by her!

Duch. [Aside.] And do such deeds spring up from love alone?

Love him again? I say, how else can she?

In her defence; dared outrage all of us,

Insult yourself—for what, save love 's reward?

Duch. [Aside.] And is love then the sole reward of love?
