AMALTHEA: (turns at Haggard's approach) Don't!

KING HAGGARD: I will not touch you. What are you looking at?

LADY AMALTHEA: The sea.

KING HAGGARD: Ah, yes. The sea is always good. There is nothing that I can look at for very long, except the sea. (He stares into her eyes and sees in them her forest, with woodland animals in it.)

KING HAGGARD: (shouts suddenly) What is the matter with your eyes? Why can I not see myself in your eyes?
(The Lady Amalthea does not answer.)

KING HAGGARD (to Schmendrick): Who is she!?

SCHMENDRICK: Oh, your majesty, the Lady Amalthea is my niece -

KING HAGGARD: I want to know who she is!

PRINCE LIR: Father, what difference does it make? She's here!

KING HAGGARD (looks at Lír): For once, you are right. She is here. They are all here. And whether they mean my doom or not, I will look at them for a while. (To Amalthea) You may come and go as you please. My secrets guard themselves. Will yours do the same? (Walks off)
