Dinas.
A wondrous thing!
Ganelun.
But say,
By what did Kaad first recognize the saint?
2d Knight.
I know not, but he says 'twas he; and all
The people, are rejoicing at this new
And wondrous miracle of good St. George.
1st Knight.
What says King Mark about this miracle,
This saving of the Queen by God Himself?
Hast seen him, Dinas?
Dinas (returning to the table). Ay, his heart and mind
Are heavy and his soul distressed.
2d Knight.
And Queen
Iseult?
1st Knight.
What said the King of her?
Ganelun.
The King
Refused to see her, or to speak with her,
Since neither dares to speak of this foul deed
Which has occurred; its memory still throbs,
And tingling flows throughout their blood.
2d Baron.
And yet
He sent the Queen, and without message too,
The head that pledged a perjured oath today,
Upon a silver shield. And well he did.
2d Knight.
My Lord Denovalin a victim fell
Unto a saintly and a holy hand,
But died ingloriously!
