To give such charms as these, and then to call on man, Mere man, to be your executioner. Was it because it was too hard for you ? But see, she smiles ! I never shdfl smile more. It strongly tempts me to. a parting kiss. KUi! smile agam. [Goes towards her, and starts bacJc.] She dreams of him she loves. Curse... on her charms ! Fll stab her through them all.
