Nay, I remember."

And she wrote the words,

I read them. Then—"Since love, in you, affords

License for hate, in me, to quench (I say)

Contempt—why, hate itself has passed away

In vengeance—foreign to contempt. Depart

Peacefully to that death which Eastern art

Imbued this weapon with, if tales be true!

Love will succeed to hate. I pardon you—

Dead in our chamber!"
