He's saved! no matter at what price--he's saved! But only for to-day--a few short hours Are his. Oh, let him husband them! This night The prince must leave Madrid. (QUEEN: This very night?) All measures are prepared. The post will meet him At the Carthusian convent, which has served So long as an asylum to our friendship. Here will he find, in letters of exchange, All in the world that fortune gifts me with. Should more be wanting, you must e'en supply it. In truth, I have within my heart full much To unburden to my Carlos--it may chance I shall want leisure now to tell him all In person--but this evening you will see him, And therefore I address myself to you.
