(Victorian enters behind.)

I love you,

Fair Preciosa! and will save your honor!

Give me some sign I do not love in vain!

Give me some token—but one word of promise⁠—

Let me but kiss your hand!

Pre. Avaunt! avaunt!

O save me from this demon!

(Rushes towards Victorian, who repulses her.)

Vic. Count of Lara!
