Must ne’er be seen by other eyes than mine!
Phil. Indeed! and why?
Mirza.My very inmost thoughts—
The secret utterances of my heart—

That any eyes but mine should rest on it.
Phil. Can Lady Mirza harbor any thought
That all the world may not participate?
I’ll not believe it.
Mirza. (eagerly). Hush—I charge you, sir!
