And I will bring thee tidings.
Vav.Be it so—
Be quick, be quick, dear Melusine—and then (to both)
Go, seek Prince Florian—and say to him
That I would fain have speech with him alone,
If he will deign to grant me audience.
[Exeunt Melusine and Amanthis.
Another hour—and then, my Sun will set!
Oh, Hilda—oh, my sister—come to me!
Hilda enters, veiled.
