Dagonet. If thou must have it, and thou draggest my heart out, it was from the Queen. The words, “tonight afore midnight.”
Vivien. A true story! To thee?
Dagonet. Nay, to Sir Launcelot.
Vivien. Thou liest! Canst thou explain that ring she gave thee? (Picks it up.)
Dagonet. ’Tis the Queen’s.
Vivien. Ho! ho! And thou the trusted messenger! ’Tis a likely story. Wouldst have me believe it?
Dagonet. Vivien, I tell thee that I love thee, and am in Hell for thee, aye, in Hell!
Vivien. Thou forgettest thine important message, thou most trusted lover and messenger.
Dagonet. Vivien, wilt thou not believe me?
Vivien. Go, go, I tell thee, I will see thee again.
