Such is, you know, the custom of the court,
And I may then remain in my apartment.

DOMINGO.
'Tis well devised! Now the great game is won,
And we may bid defiance to all queens!

PRINCESS.
Hark! I am called. I must attend the queen,
So fare you well.
[Exit.



SCENE XIII.

ALVA and DOMINGO.

DOMINGO (after a pause, during which he has watched the PRINCESS).
My lord! these roses, and--
Your battles----

ALVA.
And your god!--why, even so
Thus we'll await the lightning that will scathe us!

[Exeunt.
