Master, you shall see!
CLAUDE FROLLO.
But hell may take her quick,
With my good-will,
If now this insane creature
Refuses still!
Destiny! Oh, fatal stroke!
Friend, I count on thee!
On this my only chance I wait
With fierce anxiety.
CLOPIN.
Fear nothing terrible, my lord,
Count faithfully on me,
And on this last and only chance
Rely courageously!
[They go out hurriedly. The populace begin to enter the square.
