SCENE II.

ALONZO, RODRIGO, ALVAREZ.
ALONZO.
Then—it is fix'd—The Lords that you have summon'd,
Say, are they come?

ALVAREZ.
They wait your pleasure, Sir,
In the near council-chamber—

ALONZO.
Aside.
Could they see
Their sovereign's breast unveil'd! but no: the curtain
Must be close-drawn, that each man may advise
As unimpassion'd reason guides him—Leave me.
