Captain Benwick: [Anne and Benwick are discussing poetry and he asks her which she prefers of two poems by Sir Walter Scott. Anne answers by quoting a line from the second poem. They then alternately recite the next few lines] Tell me, do you prefer "Marmion" or "The Lady of the Lake?"
Anne: "Like the dew on the mountain / Like the foam on the river /"
Captain Benwick: "Like the bubble on the fountain / Thou art gone /"
Anne: "and forever!"
