[Unveiling briefly, then drawing veil again.]
There! Have I lied?
Violante
He always worshiped beauty.... You are fair!
Olivia
Soon will you know our love has mighty wings
Outsoaring time into eternity!
Violante
I'll have him forth—are you ready for the trial?
Olivia
Do you persuade him of my ugliness....
If he loves me not I shall go forth and die—
Then life will be far too like death to live!
