ALFRED。

You joke。

JOHN。

          I am serious。  Why go to Luchon��

ALFRED。

Don't ask me。  I have not a choice�察�my dear John。 Besides�察�shall I own a strange sort of desire�察�Before I extinguish forever the fire Of youth and romance�察�in whose shadowy light Hope whisper'd her first fairy tales�察�to excite The last spark�察�till it rise�察�and fade far in that dawn Of my days where the twilights of life were first drawn By the rosy�察�reluctant auroras of Love�察�In short�察�from the dead Past the gravestone to move�察�Of the years long departed forever to take One last look�察�one final farewell�察�to awake The Heroic of youth from the Hades of joy�察�And once more be�察�though but for an hour�察�Jacka boy��

JOHN。

You had better go hang yourself。

ALFRED。

                                 No� �were it but To make sure that the Past from the Future is shut�察�It were worth the step back。  Do you think we should live With the living so lightly�察�and learn to survive That wild moment in which to the grave and its gloom We consign'd our heart's best�察�if the doors of the tomb Were not lock'd with a key which Fate keeps for our sake�拭�If the dead could return or the corpses awake��

JOHN。

Nonsense��

ALFRED。

           Not wholly。  The man who gets up A fill'd guest from the banquet�察�and drains off his cup�察�Sees the last lamp extinguish'd with cheerfulness�察�goes Well contented to bed�察�and enjoys its repose。 But he who hath supp'd at the tables of kings�察�And yet starved in the sight of luxurious things�察�Who hath watch'd the wine flow�察�by himself but half tasted�察�Heard the music�察�and yet miss'd the tune�察�who hath wasted One part of life's grand possibilities��friend�察�That man will bear with him�察�be sure�察�to the end�察�A blighted experience�察�a rancor within�此�You may call it a virtue�察�I call it a sin。

JOHN。

I see you remember the cynical story Of that wicked old piece Experiencea hoary Lothario�察�whom dying�察�the priest by his bed ��Knowing well the unprincipled life he had led�察�And observing�察�with no small amount of surprise�察�Resignation and calm in the old sinner's eyes�� Ask'd if he had nothing that weigh'd on his mind�此 �Well�察 � 。 。 no�察─ � 。 。 says Lothario�察 �I think not。  I find�察�On reviewing my life�察�which in most things was pleasant�察�I never neglected�察�when once it was present�察�An occasion of pleasing myself。  On the whole�察�I have naught to regret�察─ � 。 。 and so�察�smiling�察�his soul Took its flight from this world。

ALFRED。

                                 Well�察�Regret or Remorse�察�Which is best��

JOHN。

               Why�察�Regret。

ALFRED。

                            No�察�Remorse�察�Jack�察�of course�此�For the one is related�察�be sure�察�to the other。 Regret is a spiteful old maid�此�but her brother�察�Remorse�察�though a widower certainly�察�yet HAS been wed to young Pleasure。  Dear Jack�察�hang Regret��

JOHN。

Bref� �you mean�察�then�察�to go��

ALFRED。

                             Bref� �I do。

JOHN。

                                         One word 。 。 。 stay� �Are you really in love with Matilda��

ALFRED。

JOHN。

                            WERE you really in love With Madame de Nevers��

ALFRED。

                        What�察�Lucile�拭 �No�察�by Jove�察�Never REALLY。

JOHN。

              She's pretty��

ALFRED。

                             Decidedly so。 At least�察�so she was�察�some ten summers ago。 As soft�察�and as sallow as Autumnwith hair Neither black�察�nor yet brown�察�but that tinge which the air Takes at eve in September�察�when night lingers lone Through a vineyard�察�from beams of a slow´setting sun。 Eyesthe wistful gazelle's�察�the fine foot of a fairy�察�And a hand fit a fay's wand to wave��white and airy�察�A voice soft and sweet as a tune that one knows。 Something in her there was�察�set you thinking of those Strange backgrounds of Raphael 。 。 。 that hectic and deep Brief twilight in which southern suns fall asleep。

JOHN。

Coquette��

ALFRED。

          Not at all。  'Twas her one fault。  Not she� �I had loved her the better�察�had she less loved me。 The heart of a man's like that delicate weed Which requires to be trampled on�察�boldly indeed�察�Ere it give forth the fragrance you wish to extract。 'Tis a simile�察�trust me�察�if not new�察�exact。

JOHN。

Women change so。

ALFRED。

                 Of course。

JOHN。

                            And�察�unless rumor errs�察�I believe�察�that last year�察�the Comtesse de Nevers* Was at Baden the rageheld an absolute court Of devoted adorers�察�and really made sport Of her subjects。
