I am mad, mad, Guinevere!
And dost thou smile? here’s for the lonely dark!
Ho! ho! the world’s one hideous mockery.
(Leaps from the casement.)
Guin. Nay, nay, Launcelot! Launcelot!
Come back! I love thee, I forgive thee all!
(Falls on her face.) Oh Heaven! I have driven him away,
Nevermore, Oh, never to return.
O Love! O Love! my maddened heart will break.
O foolish stars! why smile on this grim night
