LOCRINE.
Fear knows not what it means: And I was fearful even of clouds that drive Across the dawn, and die--of all, of nought - Winds whispering on the darkling ways of thought, Sunbeams that flash like fire, and hopes like fears That slay themselves, and live again, and die. But in mine eyes thy light is, in mine ears Thy music: I am thine, and more than I, Being half of thy sweet soul. ESTRILD. Woe worth me then! For one requires thee wholly. LOCRINE. Guendolen? ESTRILD. I said she was the fairer--and I lied not. LOCRINE. Thou art the fairest fool alive. ESTRILD. |
