[_Fleeing._
They'll be slain!
_Brude (waking)._ What was my dream?...
[_Hears the shouts._
Lamora! Lamora!
[_They start up and look at each other. Silence._
_Lamora (at length)._ So was it doomed.
Now we must cross
Thro the death-fog
Unto the blest.
But side by side,
And ere they come.
[_Hands him her knife._
Here we shall die.
But in the Meadows
Where the thin shades
Wander and wander,
Ever in love we'll live!
Fold first thy arms around me.
[_They embrace._
_Brude (starting from her)._ Hear! they have come--
Cormo! The Queen!...
_Lamora._ Then strike! for thy face
Alone would I see in death!
_Brude (killing her then himself)._ Cormo!... Queen!... Death!
Ye shall never ... tear us apart!
[_Falls with her in his arms, as_ BOADICEA
_and warriors enter._
_Boadicea (seeing them)._ Dead!... Leave them, food
For beast and bird!
Leave them! away! away!
[_All go with pride and spurning._
