[ACT HI. ISOLINE. Lovest thou not me ? FERNANDO. Ay, Tsoline, as much As such a wretch can love ! Love thee ? I do, And holily if holy thing can dwell In most unhallow'd habitation. Love thee ? How dare I love thee ? Temple as thou art Of tenderness, and chastity, and truth ; Truth most ingenuous ! Is it thy arms I should aspire to ? Thine, my Isoline ! "Whose foot ne'er spurn'd from thee a thing so base As that which now, in utter misery, I cast before it. [Dashing himself upon the ground. ISO...LINE. Rise, Fernando, rise, My lord my love ! What has afflicted thee To this severe extremity ? Fernando ! Thou scarest me ! This passion hath no reason ! 'Tis wantonness of frenzy ! Dost thou hear me ? If not thyself, dear love consider me ! That's right ! that's kind ! Give me thy hand and rise. I dream'd not this. Thank Heaven you're calmer 1 O I thought I loved thee all that I could love, But now I find my love, disdaining bounds, Is endless and unfathomable. Now I find I loved thee but a little, and With that remain'd contented ; never dreaming How misery endears, and what a heap Of love was yet to come in company With thy affliction.
