My noble young lady! Do not misunderstand me!<br />

That knight on whom you bestow your hand<br />

Is blissfully fortunate <strong>in</strong> the highest degree...<br />

If he loves me.<br />

ELISABETH.<br />

EBBESEN.<br />

Oh! He who resists your charm,<br />

He is made of stone...<br />

Elisabeth!<br />

ELISABETH.<br />

Ah! You yourself are stone.<br />

EBBESEN.<br />

ELISABETH.<br />

Hush, hush! Understand me rightly!<br />

I mean, you are as immovable<br />

As stone; you are stand<strong>in</strong>g completely still now,<br />

Instead of approach<strong>in</strong>g me handsomely.<br />

What you were pleased to say to me<br />

Was flattery, and there is no time for that.<br />

My charm, as you have called it,<br />

Is easy to resist, doubly easy,<br />

When one already has another love.<br />

EBBESEN.<br />

What? You believe...<br />

ELISABETH.<br />
