I … that is … in truth …
Queen of Shemakhan.
Is that all?
Thou art to be pitied knowing
The Queen only in her garments.
I am not so bad without them.
When I go to sleep, I look a long time in the mirror.
(Thoughtfully admiring herself. Becomes more and more carried away.)
I throw off my garments,
And as a ray of sunlight in the mist
