Say nay say nay� �
_ Bal_。 The song is English�察�and I oft have heard it
In merry England never so plaintively
Hist� �hist� �it comes again��
_Voice_ ;Is it so strong
��_more loudly_�� As for to leave me thus
Who hath loved thee so long
In wealth and woe among��
And is thy heart so strong
As for to leave me thus��
Say nay say nay� �
_ Bal_。 'Tis hushed and all is still��
_ Pol_。 All is _not_ still��
_ Bal_。 Let us go down。
_ Pol_。 Go down�察�Baldazzar�察�go��
_ Bal_。 The hour is growing late the Duke awaits use
Thy presence is expected in the hall
Below。 What ails thee�察�Earl Politian��
_Voice_ ;Who hath loved thee so long
��_distinctly_�� In wealth and woe among��
And is thy heart so strong��
Say nay say nay� �
_ Bal_。 Let us descend� �'tis time。 Politian�察�give
These fancies to the wind。 Remember�察�pray��
Your bearing lately savored much of rudeness
Unto the Duke。 Arouse thee� �and remember
_ Pol_。 Remember�拭�I do。 Lead on� �I _do_ remember。
��_going。_��
Let us descend。 Believe me I would give��
Freely would give the broad lands of my earldom
To look upon the face hidden by yon lattice
;To gaze upon that veiled face�察�and hear
Once more that silent tongue。;
_ Bal_。 Let me beg you�察�sir��
Descend with me the Duke may be offended。
Let us go down�察�I pray you。
��_Voice loudly_�� _Say nay� �say nay��_
_ Pol。 ��aside��_ 'Tis strange� �'tis very strange methought the
voice
Chimed in with my desires�察�and bade me stay��
��_approaching the window。_��
Sweet voice� �I heed thee�察�and will surely stay。
Now be this Fancy�察�by Heaven�察�or be it Fate��
Still will I not descend。 Baldazzar�察�make
Apology unto the Duke for me��
I go not down to´night。
_ Bal_。 Your lordship's pleasure
Shall be attended to。 Good´night�察�Politian。
_ Pol_。 Good´night�察�my friend�察�good´night。
IV。
The gardens of a Palace Moonlight Lalage and Politian。
_Lalge_。 And dost thou speak of love
To me�察�Politian�拭 �dost thou speak of love
To Lalage�拭 �ah�察�woe ah�察�woe is me��
This mockery is most cruel most cruel indeed��
_Politian_。 Weep not� �oh�察�sob not thus� �thy bitter tears
Will madden me。 Oh�察�mourn not�察�Lalage
Be comforted� �I know I know it all��
And _still_ I speak of love。 Look at me�察�brightest
And beautiful Lalage� �turn here thine eyes��
Thou askest me if I could speak of love��
Knowing what I know�察�and seeing what I have seen。
Thou askest me that and thus I answer thee
Thus on my bended knee I answer thee。 ��_kneeling。_��
Sweet Lalage�察�_I love thee_ _love thee_ _love thee_��
Thro' good and ill thro' weal and wo I _love thee_。
Not mother�察�with her first´born on her knee��
Thrills with intenser love than I for thee。
Not on God's altar�察�in any time or clime��
Burned there a holier fire than burneth now
Within my spirit for _thee_。 And do I love�拭 。�_arising。_��
Even for thy woes I love thee´ even for thy woes´
Thy beauty and thy woes。
_ Lal_。 Alas�察�proud Earl��
Thou dost forget thyself�察�remembering me��
How�察�in thy father's halls�察�among the maidens
Pure and reproachless of thy princely line��
Could the dishonored Lalage abide��
Thy wife�察�and with a tainted memory´
MY seared and blighted name�察�how would it tally
With the ancestral honors of thy house��
And with thy glory��
_ Pol_。 Speak not to me of glory��
I hate´ I loathe the name�察�I do abhor
The unsatisfactory and ideal thing。
Art thou not Lalage and I Politian��
Do I not love´ art thou not beautiful´
What need we more�拭�Ha� �glory� � now speak not of it。
By all I hold most sacred and most solemn´
By all my wishes now´ my fears hereafter´
By all I scorn on earth and hope in heaven´
There is no deed I would more glory in��
Than in thy cause to scoff at this same glory
And trample it under foot。 What matters it´
What matters it�察�my fairest�察�and my best��
That we go down unhonored and forgotten
Into the dust´ so we descend together。
Descend together´ and then´ and then�察�perchance´
_ Lal_。 Why dost thou pause�察�Politian��
_ Pol_。 And then�察�perchance
Arise together�察�Lalage�察�and roam
The starry and quiet dwellings of the blest��
And still´
_ Lal_。 Why dost thou pause�察�Politian��
_ Pol_。 And still together´ together。
_ Lal_。 Now Earl of Leicester��
Thou lovest me�察�and in my heart of hearts
I feel thou lovest me truly。
_ Pol_。 Oh�察�Lalage��
��_throwing himself upon his knee。_��
And lovest thou me��
_ Lal_。 Hist� �hush� �within the gloom
Of yonder trees methought a figure passed´
A spectral figure�察�solemn�察�and slow�察�and noiseless´
Like the grim shadow Conscience�察�solemn and noiseless。
��_walks across and returns。_��
I was mistaken 'twas but a giant bough
Stirred by the autumn wind。 Politian��
_ Pol_。 My Lalage my love� �why art thou moved��
Why dost thou turn so pale�拭�Not Conscience' self��
Far less a shadow which thou likenest to it��
Should shake the firm spirit thus。 But the night wind
Is chilly and these melancholy boughs
Throw over all things a gloom。
_ Lal_。 Politian��
Thou speakest to me of love。 Knowest thou the land
With which all tongues are busy a land new found
Miraculously found by one of Genoa
A thousand leagues within the golden west��
A fairy land of flowers�察�and fruit�察�and sunshine��
And crystal lakes�察�and over´arching forests��
And mountains�察�around whose towering summits the winds
Of Heaven untrammelled flow which air to breathe
Is Happiness now�察�and will be Freedom hereafter
In days that are to come��
_ Pol_。 O�察�wilt thou wilt thou
Fly to that Paradise my Lalage�察�wilt thou
Fly thither with me�拭�There Care shall be forgotten��
And Sorrow shall be no more�察�and Eros be all。
And life shall then be mine�察�for I will live
For thee�察�and in thine eyes and thou shalt be
No more a mourner but the radiant Joys
Shall wait upon thee�察�and the angel Hope
Attend thee ever�察�and I will kneel to thee
And worship thee�察�and call thee my beloved��
My own�察�my beautiful�察�my love�察�my wife��
My all�察 �oh�察�wilt thou wilt thou�察�Lalage��
Fly thither with me��
_ Lal_。 A deed is to be done
Castiglione lives��
_ Pol_。 And he shall die� 。�_exit_��
_ Lal_。 ��_after a pause。_�� And´ he´ shall´ die� � alas��
Castiglione die�拭�Who spoke the words��
Where am I�拭� what was it he said�拭� Politian��
Thou art not gone´ thou are not gone�察�Politian��
I feel thou art not gone´ yet dare not look��
Lest I behold thee not�察�thou couldst not go
With those words upon thy lips´ O�察�speak to me��
And let me hear thy voice´ one word´ one word��
To say thou art not gone�察� one little sentence��
To say how thou dost scorn´ how thou dost hate
My womanly weakness。 Ha� �ha� �thou art not gone´
O speak to me� �I knew thou wouldst not go��
I knew thou wouldst not�察�couldst not�察�durst not go。
Villain�察�thou art not gone´ thou mockest me��
And thus I clutch thee´ thus� � He is gone�察�he is gone
Gone´ gone。 Where am I�拭� 'tis well´ 'tis very well��
So that the blade be keen´ the blow be sure��
'Tis well�察�'tis very well´ alas� �alas��
V。
The suburbs。 Politian alone。
_Politian_。 This weakness grows upon me。 I am faint��
And much I fear me ill´ it will not do
To die ere I have lived� � Stay�察�stay thy hand��
O Azrael�察�yet awhile� � Prince of the Powers
Of Darkness and the Tomb�察�O pity me��
O pity me� �let me not perish now��
In the budding of my Paradisal Hope��
Give me to live yet´ yet a little while��
'Tis I who pray for life´ I who so late
Demanded but to die� � what sayeth the Count��
_Enter Baldazzar。_
_ Baldazzar_。 That knowing no cause of quarrel or of feud
Between the Earl Politian and himself。
He doth decline your cartel。
_ Pol_。 What didst thou say��
What answer was it you brought me�察�good Baldazzar��
With what excessive fragrance the zephyr comes
Laden from yonder bowers� � a fairer day��
Or one more worthy Italy�察�methinks
No mortal eyes have seen� � what said the Count��
_ Bal_。 That he�察�Castiglione' not being aware
Of any feud existing�察�or any cause
Of quarrel between your lordship and himself��
Cannot accept the challenge。
_ Pol_。 It is most true
All this is very true。 When saw you�察�sir��
When saw you now�察�Baldazzar�察�in the frigid
Ungenial Britain which we left so lately��
A heaven so calm as this´ so utterly free
From the evil taint of clouds�拭� and he did say��
_ Bal_。 No more�察�my lord�察�than I have told you�察�sir��
The Count Castiglione will not fight��
Having no cause for quarrel。
_ Pol_。 Now this is true´
All very true。 Thou art my friend�察�Baldazzar��
And I have not forgotten it´ thou'lt do me
A piece of service�察�wilt thou go back and say
Unto this man�察�that I�察�the Earl of Leicester��
Hold him a villain�拭� thus much�察�I prythee�察�say
Unto the Count´ it is exceeding j
