Ring! Ring!! Ring!!! 3. MELNOTTE. Look you our bond is over. Proud conquerors that we are, we have won the victory over a simple girl--compromised her honour--embittered her life--blasted in their very blossoms, all the flowers of her youth. This is your triumph,--it is my shame! Enjoy that triumph, but not in my sight. I _was_ her betrayer--I _am_, her protector! Cross but her path-- one word of scorn, one look of insult--nay, but one quiver of that mocking lip, and I will teach thee that bitter word thou hast graven eternally in this heart--_Repentance!_ BEAUSEANT. His Highness is most grandiloquent. MELNOTTE. Highness me no more! Beware! Remorse has made me a new being. Away with you! There is danger in me. Away! _Sir E. Bulwer Lytton._ 4. Up, comrades, up!--in Rokeby's halls, Ne'er be it said our courage falls! _Sir Walter Scott._ 5. |
