SCENE VIII.
HENRIQUES alone.
We must not yet oppose his rage of sorrow,
But let his passions for awhile subside:
Then if he still persist in his design,
Force must be us'd to wrest him hence. What hoa!
Some seamen sure attend with yonder bark:
Come forth, my friends—
[Enter two Seamen.

Force must be us'd to wrest him hence. What hoa!
Some seamen sure attend with yonder bark:
Come forth, my friends—
Hear and observe my purpose:
We must by force convey Gernando hence,
Who, wild with grief, refuses to depart.
You know where 'midst yon' rocks the limpid stream
Winds its smooth course; that place o'ergrown with wood
Seems form'd for ambush, there till he appears,
Conceal'd await, then instant rushing forth
Seize him and bear him to your ship. Away!
