SCENE THE FOURTH.
Rosmunda.Ros.
What canst thou accomplish?—
Who ever saw such mad temerity?—
But yet what can he not effect, since I
Have dared myself all military power
38
E'en as I am? No, no, thou know'st me not,
Not half my power thou know'st.—And I have loved thee? ...
That love is at an end, and thou shall see it.—
Rage, hatred, jealousy, and frantic passion,
And haughty contumely, my bosom quit;
Ye mixed and contradictory desires
Evacuate my heart: and thou, revenge,
Return, return, and make me wholly thine;
Fill me with all thy influence; if I
Have evermore accounted thee my first
And only deity!—But do I spend
My time and rage in inefficient words?
Rather should I anticipate his schemes,
And frustrate all his impious machinations ...
Whom do I see?
