Marcos : My Lord, I do protest! (Handing.) Peruse it! COBONADO : You know well I cannot trace The words. But trees can read a lover's face; And when, in prayer, you read these lines, they paint Hot sunsets on your temples — for a saint. THE FIRE OF EOMANCE (Turning to the fire, and holding the paper and scarf aloft.) Here's sacrilege! Such falseness tests the chance. If nought but pure devotion makes romance, The fire will slumber, and this lad prove true. But if it leaps, as common embers do, ...When fed such fuel, the stalwarts lived in vain, And Coronado seeks the tomb again. Eternal fire! Here's falseness and deceit, What say you? (He feeds the scarf and paper to the fire. They do not burn.) Marcos : God's Anointment, and the Sweet Protection of the Virgin, I confess! It's magic. (Crossing himself and falling on his knees. The soldiers cross themselves, startled, and retreat away.) Coronado: les, 'tis magic — nothing less! That ancient magic that the hills possess, The spell of open places, and the kiss Of mountains, and the awe of an abyss On human frailty.
