Which gives me you, I might not pardon here!

I am the Queen's; she only knows my brain:

She may experiment upon my heart

And I instruct her too by the result.

But you, Sweet, you who know me, who so long

Have told my heartbeats over, held my life

In those white hands of yours,—it is not well!

Con. Tush! I have said it, did I not say it all?

The life, for her—the heartbeats, for her sake!

Nor. Enough! my cheek grows red, I think. Your test?
