I:3:34 ALAR.
But alas! What have I won? I:3:35 SOL. A country and a wife. I:3:36 ALAR. A wife! I:3:37 SOL. A wife, and very fair, they say. She should be fair, who could induce thee break Such vows as thine. O! I am very weak. Why came I here? Was it indeed to see If thou could'st look on me? I:3:38 ALAR. My own Solisa. I:3:39 SOL. Call me not thine; why, what am I to thee That thou should'st call me thine? I:3:40 ALAR. Indeed, sweet lady, Thou lookest on a man as bruised in spirit, As broken-hearted, and subdued in soul, As any breathing wretch that deems the day Can bring no darker morrow. Pity me! |
