ESMERALDA.

No, beautiful captain, In vain you plead! Can I tell how far A kiss might lead?

PHŒBUS.

I am a captain, Why abuse me? I want a kiss— Don't refuse me! Give it me—give it, or I will take!

ESMERALDA.

No, leave me! I beg of you, for my sake.

PHŒBUS.

One kiss, one kiss—'tis nothing, you see.

ESMERALDA.

Nothing to you, but much to me!
