SCENE SECOND.
THE PRINCESS, COUNT CILLEY, MICHAEL ZILUGO, & THE LORDS OF THE COUNCIL.The Governor Michael Zilugo, and the Lords of the Council, in their robes over their armour; their swords by their sides, ranged on the North side of the altar. Zilugo much nearer the altar than the other Lords; very attentive to all Count Cilley's movements.
COUNT CILLEY.
Princess! we hail Thee Empress of the East.
57
I never will accept that hated title.
COUNT CILLEY.
The People, Council, and I, Princess! will it:
And your reluctance to our power must yield.
PRINCESS.
Nor you, nor they, my Lord! shall thus enslave me.
(She kneesls on the footstool of the altar, her right arm extended on the altar table.)
This sacred altar shall protect me from you.
COUNT CILLEY
(aside).
'Tis to my wish. Now let the whirlwind rise;
I can direct the storm, and point its rage.
(Exit Count Cilley.)
