SCENE II.

Changes to a Room in the House.
Glanville, Isabella.
Glanville.
What dost thou say? Already is Sifroy
Arriv'd? Who saw him? When?

Isabella.
This moment, from
My window, by the glimmering of the moon,
I saw him pass.

Glanville.
He comes as I could wish.
His hot-brain'd fury well did I foresee
Would, on the wings of vengeance, swiftly urge
His homeward flight. But I am ready arm'd,
Rash fool! for thy destruction. And tho' long
Thou hast usurp'd my rights, thy death at last
Shall give me ample justice.

Isabella.
Ah, beware;
Nor seek his life with peril of thine own.

Glanville.
Trust me, my love, (tho' time too precious now
Will not permit t'unfold to thee my scheme)

I walk in safety, yet have in my grasp
Secure, his hated life.—But see, he comes—
Retire.

[Exit Isabella. Enter Sifroy.
