SCENE V.
Inside of Chapel with Altar-Piece, &c.
and Monument.
Enter
Clifford—bell strikes the appointed hour
—he hides behind the monument—procession
of
Friars, Nuns, &c. to the altar by torch-light
—at the period the ceremony is about to take
place Clifford stalks from the monument with his
sword drawn, to which is attached the scroll of
“
Death when I prove False,” and holding
another in the other hand with this inscription,
“
Remember your Vow.”—Julia fixes her eyes
on and follows him to the wing; where, overpowered
by her feelings, she faints.—St. Pierre drags her back
to the altar.—She refuses her acquiescence, rushes
from him, and is borne off almost distracted.
