She loves me not, and I have done with her.

Mirza. Oh, this will kill her, sir!

Zeo.No—Mirza—no!

It will not kill me. I can bear this blow. (Coming forward.)

Prince Philamir, we two have been betrothed—

Your word is plighted—well, I set you free.

Mirza, you swore to leave Prince Philamir—

Your word is plighted—well, I set you free.

(She takes Mirza’s hand and places it in Philamir’s.)
