Therein I did not mean to cross your path.
To me the door stood open, as to others,
But had I known the girl belonged to you
Never should I have sought to win her from you.
The truth stands now revealed; she has been false
To both of us.
Vic. Aye, false as hell itself!
Lara. In truth I did not seek her; she sought me;
And told me how to win her, telling me
The hours when she was oftenest left alone.
