Nothing can change it. I have waited for you,
and I will wait, but you shall be mine in the end. You see to-night--
'Mi Duvel', you see that fate is with me! The Gorgio has bewitched you.
He goes down to-night in that tavern there by the hand of a Gorgio, and
the Romany has his revenge. Fate is always with me, and I will be the
gift of the gods to the woman that takes me. The luck is mine always.
It will be always with me. I am poor to-day, I shall be rich to-morrow.
I was rich, and I lost it all; and I was poor, and became rich again.
Ah, yes, there are ways! Sometimes it is a Government, sometimes a
prince that wants to know, and Jethro Fawe, the Romany, finds it out, and
money fills his pockets. I am here, poor, because last year when I lost
all, I said, 'It is because my Romany lass is not with me. I have not
brought her to my tan, but when she comes then the gold will be here as
before, and more when it is wanted.' So, I came, and I hear the road
calling, and all the camping places over all the world, and I see the
patrins in every lane, and my heart is lifted up. I am glad. I rejoice.
My heart burns with love. I will forget everything, and be true to the
queen of my soul.
