Forgive me, ah, forgive me! I am in truth so unhappy, already.

Only consider what I was but yesterday morning, what I was even at the beginning of your yesterday's festival, and what I am to-day!" Her words now became inarticulate, lost in a passionate flow of tears, while Undine, bitterly weeping with her, fell upon her neck.

So powerful was her emotion, that it was a long time before she could utter a word.
At length she said: "You shall still go with us to Ringstetten; all shall remain just as we lately arranged it; but say 'thou' to me again, and do not call me 'noble lady' any more.

Consider, we were changed for each other when we were children; even then we were united by a like fate, and we will strengthen this union with such close affection as no human power shall dissolve.

Only first of all you must go with us to Ringstetten.
