The third act
takes place two days later.
Prince Kasimir lies in his father's castle.
He lies in bed with a high fever,
And a quiet melancholy lies over him.
The doctors have given up on him,
They give him just a short time,
Only a miracle could save his life.
Now - when the crisis is at its worst,
In she comes, in deep sadness - Mathilde,
And everyone yields to her, awestruck,
And she bends down over him, smiles gently
And she sings:

"What use are millions?
