Urania
My eyes are prettier than yours. We will see who succeeds best if we
employ them at the same time!
Hastings
Oh, I am at the end of my patience listening to you both. Happily, I
see my son-in-law coming.
(To McNaughten)
Are you bring the solicitor with you?
(Enter McNaughten)
McNaughten
I've been looking for him for nearly an hour, in vain. I finally came
to ask you to conduct me to him. Something irritating is always
happening to me today.
Hastings
I am waiting for him. I believe he won't be late.
McNaughten
One, after running after me, like one of my most cherished and
faithful friends, asked news of my health. Another, forcefully grabbed
my hand, and wanted to lead me to a tavern for supper. Then, a third,
stopping me in the street, forced me to pay a debt I know nothing
about. All these people confound me to Hell! As if I knew them any
better than Lucifer!
Urania
Traitor! Are you finished? In spite of your promised word, you intend
to marry another? In spite of all your oaths, in spite of your first
choice?
McNaughten
Ah, are we still at that?
Urania
You desert me, ingrate, faithless heart. You take pleasure in the
cruel pain I suffer. You see me dying and giving in to my fate without
shedding one single tear for my death.
