THAIS. Hasten, approach, in order that I may exchange some words with you. LOVERS. Thais, Thais, what is the meaning of the pyre thou art constructing? Why art thou heaping on it this wealth of costly gems.? THAIS. Do you ask? LOVERS. We are astonished enough. THAIS. I shall inform you quickly. LOVERS. That is what we wish. THAIS. Look. (She kindles the pyre.) Lovers. Stop, stop, Thais. What art thou doing? Art thou mad? THAIS. I am not mad, but I am returning to reason. LOVERS. Why that destru...ction of four hundred pounds of gold with a wealth of other treasures? THAIS. Everything that I unjustly extorted from you, I wish to be burned, that no spark of hope may be left to you that I may ^ain yield myself to your love. LOVERS. Stop a moment, stop, and reveal to us the cause of thy disorder. THAIS. I will not stop, nor will I speak with you. LOVERS. {They try to stop her). Why dost thou disdain and despise us? Thou dost not accuse us of any infidelity, dost thou? Have we not always satisfied thy wishes?
