SCENE VIII.

A Garden belonging to the Convent.
Enter Clifford, struggling with friars, from whom he disengages himself and draws his sword—St. Pierre interrupts him in his endeavour to escape— they fight, and the monster falls, carried off in the agonies of death by the brotherhood—a storm commences —the Abbey Porter enters; and to secure himself from the inclemency of the weather, puts on the Grey Friar's habit—the brotherhood return, and conceiving him one in the plot, seize and hurry him off.
