SCENE V.

LLANDORVIN,
(alone.)
This sudden spring-tide of returning hope
Amazes me: and more her dark suggestion:
“A generous English hand,” she points to Clyfford:
The horrible surmise, with dread conviction,
Wakes my worst fears: such horrors must not be.
But how may I, in bondage, yet restrain
The fervent spirit of precipitate youth,
Hurried to guilt by virtuous indignation?
Could I converse a moment with the Queen!
She is intelligent, and has a soul
237

That may be trusted for so pure a purpose
With dire imaginings.—What ho! attend me
Kind guardian of my prison!
