’Twas but a test, and thou hast bent to it!
Zay. Oh, miserable woman, get thee hence!
Thou art no queen of ours!
Loc.Away with her!
Down with the traitress queen!
(Selene turns from one to another—all turn away from her.)
Sel.So let it be.

I have forsaken it. Through my default,
The taint of earth has fallen on our land.
Mine was the sin—be mine the punishment.
