From Martha; or, The Fair at Richmond by Friedrich von[Composer] Flotow

male · dramatic · 47 sec

The Queen! Ah! her coming brings me hope! (Takes ring from his finger and gives it to PLUNKET.) This is the ring which my father left for me. He told you that if I ever should be in trouble this ring must be presented to the Queen. She will recognize it and will send me aid at once. Now is the hour which my father foresaw--O, unhappy day! Now is the hour to redeem the pledge he left with us, the pledge of his honor and mine. (Turns to LADY H. and gazes at her longingly.) As for you, how shall I bear the memory of your treachery? ((Sings.))
