Yes, he alone;
Alone it rests with him. This learn from me.
There is no other let.
III:2:18 SOL.
I learn from thee
What other lips should tell me.
III:2:19 KING.
Girl, art sure
Of this same lover?
III:2:20 SOL.
O! I'll never doubt him.
III:2:21 KING.
And yet may be deceived.
III:2:22 SOL.
He is as true
As talismanic steel.
III:2:23 KING.
Why, then thou art,
At least thou should'st be, happy. Smile, Solisa;
For since the Count is true, there is no bar.
Why dost not smile?
III:2:24 SOL.
I marvel that Alarcos
Hath been so mute on this.
III:2:25 KING.
But thou art sure
He is most true.
III:2:26 SOL.
Why should I deem him true?
Have I found truth in any? Woe is me,
I feel as one quite doomed. I know not why
I ever was ill-omened.
III:2:27 KING.

Probe this same lover to the core; 'tmay be,
I think he is, most true; he should be so
If there be faith in vows, and men ne'er break
The pledge its profits them to keep. And yet --
III:2:28 SOL.
