Those two young men whose lives were begged of you!
THE KING.
Gaspard and Didier?
L'ANGELY.
Yes; they are the last.
THE KING.
What a calamity! Two falconers!
Now that the art is very nearly lost.
Unhappy duel! When I'm dead, this art
Will go from earth, as all things go at last!
Why did they fight this duel?
L'ANGELY.
One declared
That hawks upon the wing were not as swift
As falcons.
THE KING.
