ACT II.
Scene: Same as Act I.
[Pygmalion discovered at work on an unfinished statue.]
Pyg. To-morrow my Cynisca comes to me;
Would that she had never departed hence!
It took a miracle to make me false,
And even then I was but false in thought;
A less exacting wife might be appeased
By that reflection. But Pygmalion
Must be immaculate in every thought,
