Forget the vows of love you made to me?
GUIDO I take them back. DUCHESS Alas, you cannot, Guido, For they are part of nature now; the air Is tremulous with their music, and outside The little birds sing sweeter for those vows. GUIDO There lies a barrier between us now, Which then I knew not, or I had forgot. DUCHESS There is no barrier, Guido; why, I will go In poor attire, and will follow you Over the world. GUIDO [wildly] The world's not wide enough To hold us two! Farewell, farewell for ever. |
