Love, since you pleased to love! All's cleared--a stage For trial of the question kept so long: Judge you--Is love or vanity the best?
You, solve it for the world's sake--you, speak first What all will shout one day--you, vindicate Our earth and be its angel! All is said.
Lady, I offer nothing--I am yours: But, for the cause' sake, look on me and him, And speak!
_Duch._ I have received the Prince's message: Say, I prepare my answer!
_Val._ Take me, Cleves! (_He withdraws._)[56]
The formula for the would-be dramatist so far as his people are concerned is this: A play which aims to be real in depicting life must ill.u.s.trate character by characterization which is in character.
