Friedrich Schiller - Don Carlos (Act 3 Scene 8) lyrics

The KING's Cabinet. MARQUIS POSA and DUKE ALVA. MARQUIS (as he enters). Does he want me? What me? Impossible! You must mistake the name. What can he want With me? ALVA. To know you. MARQUIS. Curiosity! No more; I regret the precious minutes That I must lose: time pa**es swiftly by. ALVA. I now commend you to your lucky stars. The king is in your hands. Employ this moment To your own best advantage; for, remember, If it is lost, you are alone to blame.
