Don Carlos ( Act 4 Scene 2) lyrics
by Friedrich Schiller
MARQUIS POSA. The former.
The MARQUIS falls on one knee before the QUEEN, who
signs to him to rise.
QUEEN.
What are my lord's commands? And may I dare
Thus publicly to hear——
MARQUIS.
My business is
In private with your royal majesty.
[The ladies retire on a signal from the QUEEN.
