Would be depopulated in a week!
And so thou lovest Ethais?
Dar. (enthusiastically).I do!
Phy. But still (I may be wrong) it seems to me
He’s taken with Selene—
Dar. (furiously).Name her not!
He feigns a love he does not feel, because
She is our queen. He dares not anger her!
Phy. But art thou sure of this?
Dar. (bitterly).Oh! am I sure!
