Is not--I? [ (As to invisible judges.) You hear her say it? (Myrrha: O, I love but Ion, Your--) Ion, my brother! Then, God! it was true, And being true thy Heaven is but a brothel! She was unfaithful to me, as he said! And in the other world has met and clasped him! (Myrrha: No, let me speak!) And spurn me more with it? Shall I abide mockery like a mummy! Ha-ha! ((A laugh that racks him.)) Years but to hear her say that she loves him! To see her come back from the grave, where she Has still embraced him, still--and to my face, On which the rage of sleepless toil is wrought, Tell me.... She shall die for it! God, whose stars Are vermin, she shall die!
