I:3:13 SOL. I sent for thee, To tell thee why I sent for thee; yet why, Alas! I know not. Was it but to look Alone upon the face that once was mine? This morn it was so grave. O! was it woe, Or but indifference, that inspired that brow That seemed so cold and stately? Was it hate? O! tell me anything, but that to thee I am a thing of nothingness. I:3:14 ALAR. O spare! Spare me such words of torture. I:3:15 SOL. Could I feel Thou didst not hate me, that my image brought At least a gentle, if not tender thoughts, I'd be content. I cannot live to think, After the past, that we should meet again And change cold looks. We are not strangers, say At least we are not strangers? I:3:16 ALAR. Gentle Princess -- I:3:17 SOL. Call me Solisa; tho' we meet no more |
