Thou tellest me of duty to thy wife,

Of vows that thou wilt love but her. Alas!

I do not know these things; I only know

That heaven, who sent me here, has given me

One all absorbing duty to discharge—

To love thee, and to make thee love again.

[Pygmalion takes her in his arms, and embraces her passionately.]
