I have a kingdom here—in Ethais’ heart.

A kingdom? Nay, a world—my world—my world!

A world where all is pure, and good, and brave;

A world of noble thought and noble deed;

A world of brave and gentle chivalry;

A very goodly and right gallant world;—

This is my kingdom—for I am its queen!

Dar. Thou art no queen of his, for he is mine.

Aye, by the token that thou gavest him (shows ring),

Thou fond and foolish maiden!
