SCENE III.

The court of the castle.
Enter two domestics, meeting.
1st dom.
The merry revelry continues still
As if but just begun, though Samarkoon
Reminds them anxiously, that preparation
For the defence of this neglected hold,
Is pressing matter of necessity.

2d dom.
Those glutton bandits will not leave a board,
On which good viands smoke or wine-cups sparkle,
For all the words of threat'ning or entreaty,
That mortal tongue can utter.

Enter a third domestic, in great alarm.
3d dom.
Where is our master?

1st dom.
What alarms thee so?

3d dom.
There is a power of armed men advancing.
I saw their dark heads winding through the pass
Above the bushes shown; a lengthen'd line,
Two hundred strong, I guess.

1st dom.
It is Rasinga.

2d dom.
Ring the larum bell,
And rouse those drunken thieves from their debauch.

3d dom.
But I must find our master; where is he?

1st dom.
He was i' th' inner court some minutes since.

[The alarum bell has rang, and many people is confusion cross the stage as the scene closes.
