Faith hath no voice but the heart's impulses. I am all his! His present--his alone. Is this new life, which lives in me? He hathA right to his own creature. What was IEre his fair love infused a soul into me?
COUNTESS. Thou wouldst oppose thy father, then, should heHave otherwise determined with thy person? [THEKLA remains silent. The COUNTESS continues. Thou meanest to force him to thy liking? Child, His name is Friedland.
THEKLA. My name too is Friedland. He shall have found a genuine daughte...r in me.
COUNTESS. What! he has vanquished all impediment, And in the wilful mood of his own daughterShall a new struggle rise for him? Child! child!As yet thou hast seen thy father's smiles alone;The eye of his rage thou hast not seen. Dear child, I will not frighten thee. To that extreme, I trust it ne'er shall come. His will is yetUnknown to me; 'tis possible his aimsMay have the same direction as thy wish. But this can never, never be his will, That thou, the daughter of his haughty fortunes, Shouldest e'er demean thee as a lovesick maidenAnd like some poor cost-nothing, fling thyselfToward the man, who, if that high prize everBe destined to await him, yet with sacrificesThe highest love can bring, must pay for it.
