Edburga. Quoth he ! Thou hast it, now. Yet even so, Truly, thou wilt not come again, to rule ! . . . Thou piece of craft, I know thee. Dost thou think Cerdic shall win? Or, haply, base Edburga? The King is here, without . . . and nigh at hand. Coming with torches. (Lifts her hand to listen.) ... Ay! Cerdic {dazed). The King is come. ... Edburga. Yea, so. — Tho' thou be traitor, he's a King ; And thou hast been a one-time counsellor. He comes to say farewell . . . And I am first, To shew thee so...mething of this world, before THE WINGS. 21 Thou tak'st thy leave for that far other world Thou knowst so well; — and liker home for thee, Than this warm Earth so full of seas and sun, — Too golden — like my hair ! . . . The tide is in. It was low water when I walked across ; But I did seal my name upon the shore ! Cerdic. /Elfric is come ... Edburga. I have said. — And ^Ifric's men. Cedric. Thou speakst not truly. ^Ifric is a king, Though he be young. Edburga. But, — Cerdic or Edburga !
