Where there was
not love it cannot have been true.
[_He tries to take her hand again._
QUEEN: Touch not my hand. It was true.
ZOON: What was the saying heard in the dream of Earth that was true?
QUEEN: None is worthy to touch my hand; no, none.
ZOON: By Aether Mountain, I will kiss your hand again! What is this
saying out of a dream that dares deny reality?
QUEEN: It is true! Oh, it is true!
ZOON: Out of that hurried, aimless dream, that knows not its own end
even, you have brought me a saying and say it against love.
QUEEN: I say it is true!
ZOON: Nothing is true against love. Fate only is greater.
QUEEN: Then it is Fate.
ZOON: Against Fate I will kiss your hand again.
QUEEN: None are worthy. No, none.
[_She draws her rapier._
ZOON: I will kiss your hand again.
QUEEN: It must be this (_pointing with rapier_) for none are worthy.
ZOON: Though it be death I kiss your hand again.
QUEEN: It is certain death.
ZOON: Oh, Zoomzoomarma, forget that troubled dream, and things said by
dreamers, while I kiss your hand in heaven if only once again.
QUEEN: None are worthy. It is death. None are worthy. None.
ZOON: Though it be death, yet once again upon Aether Mountain in heaven
I kiss your hand.
QUEEN: Away! It is death.
