Silent and sad was all around;
The marshals view'd the listed ground:
And soon Don Juan's herald came,
His style and title to proclaim,
And Isabel's imputed shame.

HERALD.
“Here cometh Merida's brave knight!
He cometh to defend the right,
For his great King's and conscience' sake:
To prove the Queen, so seeming bright,
A foul adult'ress, wanton, light,
He cometh here in single fight,
With knighthood, life, and fame at stake.”
