SCENE V.

ALONZO, the QUEEN, ELVIRA.
ALONZO.
Thou seest, O heaven! the horrors of my lot;
That I may soon, in this offending son,
Be forc'd to punish whom I hold most dear.
Oppose not now the Monarch to the Father!
My heart would be the first: imperious duty,
Alas! may drive me to assert the King.
Then teach submission to his stubborn will,
That he may yet repent, and I be blest!
