But you have given me freedom. I will leave you. (CRASSUS: What have I done to grieve you?) You have been the solemn fool with face awry That I have gathered in my ecstasy. You are only a vulgar primrose I have plucked. (CRASSUS: At least, she-devil, you have been well-treated.) O tragic farce - not even rimes completed! Nay, darling! no rebellion. When you know My secret, you will understand. You are bound To Adela within the portico, To me upon this ground. By day, in life, adore the Lares, man! By night, in deaht, make offering to Pan! Can you cut day from night by any endeavour? If so, both life and death were lost for ever. Come, the stream steepens.
