Huon. How can I best give the draught that none may see the deed? Ha! yonder comes her page, bearing wine. Now in her cup will I mingle these enchanted drops, and she shall smile on me when next I plead my suit. Ho, Juan, my boy! come hither; I would speak with thee. [EnterJuanwith wine.] Where is thy lady now?
Huon [aside]. She shall never watch and wait for him again. [Aloud.] Whence bearest thou the wine, Juan? Is it to thy lady?
Huon. Stay! clasp my sandal, boy; I will repay thee if thy mistress chide. [Juanstoops;Huondrops the potion into the wine cup.] Thanks; here is gold for thee. Away, and tell thy lady I will be here anon.
Ha, ha! 'tis done! 'tis done!
My vengeance now is won,
And ere to-morrow's sun shall set,
Thou, haughty lady, shalt forget
The lover who now hastes to thee,
And smile alone, alone on me.
