R.D. Boylan - Don Carlos ( Act 4 Scene 20) lyrics

PRINCESS EBOLI, COUNTESS OLIVAREZ. EBOLI. Heavens! she has left me. I am now undone! OLIVAREZ (approaching her). My princess—Eboli! EBOLI. I know your business, Duchess, and you come hither from the queen, To speak my sentence to me; do it quickly. OLIVAREZ. I am commanded by your majesty To take your cross and key. EBOLI (takes from her breast a golden cross, and gives it to the UCHESS). And but once more May I not kiss my gracious sovereign's hand? OLIVAREZ. In holy Mary's convent shall you learn Your fate, princess. EBOLI (with a flood of tears). Alas! then I no more Shall ever see the queen. OLIVAREZ (embraces her with her face turned away). Princess, farewell.   [She goes hastily away. The PRINCESS follows her as far as    the door of the cabinet, which is immediately locked after    the DUCHESS. She remains a few minutes silent and motionless    on her knees before it. She then rises and hastens away,    covering her face.
