SCENE V.
FAUSTUS, VALERIA.VALERIA.
Oh! Faustus, is it life or death awaits me?
And Claudius?...
FAUSTUS.
He yet lives;—I know the place
Of his retreat...
VALERIA.
Finish...
FAUSTUS.
Friendship has then
Received thy husband 'neath her guardian roof.
VALERIA.
And I've accused thee 'mid my weight of sorrow!...
I cannot doubt but that that friend's thyself.
72
To whom else should he have recourse than me?
What other dies disgraced if he survive not?
VALERIA.
Thy friendship does yet more, since it has bid
Us meet again—I fear no more for him:
Together we shall perish—Tremblingly
I count the precious moments.—Oh! permit
Me but to see him.
FAUSTUS.
He is in thy presence.
