This is no meeting, Wentworth! Tears increase

Too hot. A thin mist—is it blood?—enwraps

The face I loved once. Then, the meeting be!

Straf. I have loved England too; we 'll meet then, Pym;

As well die now! Youth is the only time

To think and to decide on a great course:

Manhood with action follows; but 'tis dreary

To have to alter our whole life in age—

The time past, the strength gone! As well die now.

When we meet, Pym, I 'd be set right—not now!
