And can not brook that I should share that love.

I can forgive the noble jealousy

That comes of woman’s love for woman.

Zeo.Yes;

For you are Mirza—queen of womankind—

The best, the noblest woman in the world!

Mirza. Why, here is warmth! and people call you cold

Because you are so cold to Philamir.

Zeo. Why, Mirza, he’s a man!

Enter Philamir from house—he overhears Mirza.
