Seite 3 - Humanity obliges me to wish you well. Why will you thus expose yourself to needless troubles? LUCY. Nay, there's no help for it. She must quit the town immediately, and the kingdom as soon as possible; it was no small matter, you may be sure, that could make her resolve to leave you.
Seite 32 - I'm ready. And now, my friend, farewell! (embracing) Support and comfort the best you can this mourning fair. No more! Forget not to pray for me! (turning to MARIA) Would you, bright excellence, permit me the honour of a chaste embrace, the last happiness this world could give were mine. (She inclines toward him; they embrace) Exalted goodness!
Seite 30 - Barnwell, there is yet another task behind ; again your heart must bleed for others' woes. BARN. To meet and part with you, I thought was all I had to do on earth ! What is there more for me to do or suffer ? TRUE. I dread to tell thee, yet it must be known ! Maria — BARN. Our master's fair and virtuous daughter ? TRUE. The same.
