And if your highness Has trusted to him more of what concerns you Than every one should know, as I am led To fear----
CARLOS.
You fear!
LERMA.
He has been with the king.
CARLOS.
Indeed!
LERMA.
Two hours in secret converse too.
CARLOS.
Indeed!
LERMA.
The subject was no trifling matter.
CARLOS.
That I can well believe.
LERMA.
And several times I heard your name.
CARLOS.
That's no bad sign, I hope.
LERMA.
And then, this morning, in the king's apartment, The queen was spoken of mysteriously.
CARLOS (starts back astonished).
Count Lerma!
LERMA.
When the marquis had retired I was commanded to admit his lords.h.i.+p In future unannounced.
CARLOS.
Astonis.h.i.+ng!
LERMA.

CARLOS.
'Tis strange, indeed!
How did you say the queen was spoken of?

CARLOS.

The other you withhold.
LERMA.
The first was due To you, the other to the king.
CARLOS.
You're right.
LERMA.
And still I've thought you, prince, a man of honor.
CARLOS.
Then you have judged me truly.
LERMA.
But all virtue Is spotless till it's tried.
CARLOS.
Some stand the trial.
LERMA.
A powerful monarch's favor is a prize Worth seeking for; and this alluring bait Has ruined many a virtue.
CARLOS.
Truly said!
LERMA.
And oftentimes 'tis prudent to discover-- What scarce can longer be concealed.
CARLOS.
Yes, prudent It may be, but you say you've ever known The marquis prove himself a man of honor.
LERMA.
And if he be so still my fears are harmless, And you become a double gainer, prince.

[Exit LERMA.
SCENE V.
