"No, I am a constant man, constant to one idea of beauty in a thousand forms, eyes like the summer's light-blue sky, and locks like its golden sunbeams! But to set thy mind at rest, Will, know that I have but compassionated the sickly state of the scholar, whom thou prizest so highly; and I have placed thy fair Sibyll's chamber near her father's.
She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that the Emir Musa passed on to the third tablet, whereon was written, "O son of Adam, the things of this world thou lovest and prizest and the hest of thy Lord thou spurnest and despisest. All the days of thy life pass by and thou art content thus to aby.
Thou art kind and clever ... and everything is alien to thee and no one is necessary to thee. Thou art very beautiful and no one can tell whether thou prizest thy beauty or not. Thou art devoid of sympathy thyself and demandest no sympathy. Thy gaze is profound, and not thoughtful; emptiness lies in that bright depth.
"Be seated, daughter of the faithless," said Torquemada, "we would converse with thee: and, as thou valuest I say not thy soul, for, alas! of that precious treasure thou art not conscious but mark me, woman! as thou prizest the safety of those delicate limbs, and that wanton beauty, answer truly what I shall ask thee. The man who brought thee hither is he, in truth, thy father?"
Calmly and gracefully thou movest along the path of life, tearless and smileless, and scarce a heedless glance of indifferent attention ruffles thy calm.

No sympathy hast thou to give; none dost thou desire.

Yes, Zaida, all thy favors, thy love, thy vows, are shown To be but false and faithless, since thou art faithless grown. But why? thou art a woman, to fickle falseness born; Thou prizest those who scorn thee those who love thee thou dost scorn.
Thou lovest and prizest virtues in him, The which thyself didst plant, thyself unfold. Who interrupts us now at this late hour? It is the governor. He brings the keys Of the citadel. 'Tis midnight. Leave me, sister! COUNTESS. Oh, 'tis so hard to me this night to leave thee; A boding fear possesses me! WALLENSTEIN. Fear! Wherefore?
