O God, God! Duchess Duchess But you will stay: listen, I love you, Guido. [She waits a little.] Is echo dead, that when I say I love you There is no answer? Guido Guido Everything is dead, Save one thing only, which shall die to-night! Duchess Duchess If you are going, touch me not, but go. [Exit Guido.] Guido Barrier! Barrier! Why did he say there was a barrier? There is no barrier between us two. He lied to me, and shall I for that reason Loathe what I love, and what I worshipped, hate? I think we women do not love like that. For if I cut his image from my heart, My heart would, like a bleeding pilgrim, follow That image through the world, and call it back With little cries of love. [Enter Duke equipped for the chase, with falconers and hounds.] Duke Duke Duke Madam, you keep us waiting; You keep my dogs waiting.
