The Falcon

SCENE VII.

CLITIE, ELEONORE.

No, no, I will never be able,
Never, never to make this request:
The greater his compliance toward me,
The less I should take advantage of it henceforth.

But you will not be able to bear
The complaints and the tears of your son,
You will see yourself in the same alarms,
And forced to return.

Forced here by me to flee,
Having nothing left of his fortune.... and I dare
To ask him... and what? The only thing
Which perhaps gives him pleasure.

Look at your dying son,
Having only one cry, without end, without cease,
He told you, falling into weakness,
Go then, mama, go then mama.

CLITIE.
No, no I will not be able, etc.

ELEONORE.
But you will not be able to bear, etc.
