She’s a good woman, Gélanor.
Gélan.Ah, sir,
I have seen married couples by the score,
Who, when they passed within our crystal walls,
Have boldly advertised themselves prepared
To stake their souls upon each other’s faith—
But who, before they’ve spent an hour at most
Under the castle’s mystic influence,
Have separated ne’er to meet again!
Oh, have a care!
