Beatrice
Then let us go Look you, when we are home,
You may ask me all and know all.
But away from here! - Am I not your wife?
And that I did all this – well yes —
You know not, what it was, yet it is much --
And was only for you -- Therefore must be well
I love you so! And when the day comes,
you leave me, and whether you ever return,
Who knows? Who knows? — The veil keep I,
I shall not lose it a second time!
(withctreased excitement, almost to madness.)
home then! Long you not
For my kisses? Think, what thou didst
To win me! Art still a Duke.
And took me at once as wife, since I demanded it,
Ang given me so much, and gave a feast
And tomorrow early you must leave – listen –
(with a last effort)
I love thee!
Duke
Be quiet, Beatrice,
Thou art forgiven, thou remainst the Duchess,
And in my arms I told you as my wife.
Beatrice
Then come!
Duke
Where to? The gorgeous suite,
Where my father's held their marriage,
And where I was conceived by former's princely daughter
does not appear to me, to be the place for our bridal night
Beatrice
Not noble is my race, I know — But see
I am most beautiful, and you took me for your wife!
Duke
Thou art so!I grasp it.
But I am adverse,
To return with thee to my castle,
I would chosse another place for our kestival. of happiness
Beatrice
Where would you go?
Duke
I know of no better,
Than this one here, where you 12opped the veil.
Beatrice
What -- did you say? Here!
