And he is your husband! (QUEEN: And gives to you for an inheritance, The mightiest monarchy in all the world.) And you, as mother! (QUEEN: Mighty heavens! You rave!) And is he even conscious of his treasure? Hath he a heart to feel and value yours? I'll not complain--no, no, I will forget, How happy, past all utterance, I might Have been with you,--if he were only so. But he is not--there, there, the anguish lies! He is not, and he never--never can be. Oh, you have robbed me of my paradise, Only to blast it in King Philip's arms!
