Nay, the rest
Is very sad – and to recall it sets
My sorrow fresh abroach. Spare me the sequel.
[A general silence.
QUEEN (turning to the PRINCESS EBOLI)
Surely the time is come to see my daughter,
I prithee, princess, bring her to me now!
[The PRINCESS withdraws. The MARQUIS beckons a Page. The QUEEN opens the letters, and appears surprised. The MARQUIS talks with MARCHIONESS MONDECAR. The QUEEN having read the letters, turns to the MARQUIS with a penetrating look.
QUEEN
You have not spoken of Matilda! She
Haply was ignorant of Fernando's grief?
MARQUIS
Matilda's heart has no one fathomed yet —
Great souls endure in silence.
QUEEN
You look around you. Who is it you seek?
MARQUIS
Just then the thought came over me, how one,
Whose name I dare not mention, would rejoice,
Stood he where I do now.
QUEEN
And who's to blame,
That he does not?
MARQUIS (interrupting her eagerly)
My liege! And dare I venture
To interpret thee, as fain I would? He'd find
Forgiveness, then, if now he should appear.
QUEEN (alarmed)
Now, marquis, now? What do you mean by this?
MARQUIS
Might he, then, hope?
QUEEN
You terrify me, marquis.
Surely he will not —
MARQUIS
He is here already.
SCENE V
The QUEEN, CARLOS, MARQUIS POSA, MARCHIONESS MONDECAR.
The two latter go towards the avenue.
CARLOS (on his knees before the QUEEN)
At length 'tis come – the happy moment's come,
And Charles may touch this all-beloved hand.
QUEEN
What headlong folly's this? And dare you break
Into my presence thus? Arise, rash man!
We are observed; my suite are close at hand.
CARLOS
I will not rise. Here will I kneel forever,
Here will I lie enchanted at your feet,
And grow to the dear ground you tread on?
QUEEN
Madman! To what rude boldness my indulgence leads!
Know you, it is the queen, your mother, sir,
Whom you address in such presumptuous strain?
Know, that myself will to the king report
This bold intrusion —
CARLOS
And that I must die!
Let them come here, and drag me to the scaffold!
A moment spent in paradise like this
Is not too dearly purchased by a life.
QUEEN
Is very sad – and to recall it sets
My sorrow fresh abroach. Spare me the sequel.
