SCENE VII.
The QUEEN, ALMEYDA.ALMEYDA.
If my life is dear
To her who gave it, seize, O seize, this moment—
You see Alonzo softening into nature—
Kneel, press, adjure him—and you save the prince!
QUEEN.
I go. Your pains and pleasures all are mine:
Be most assur'd they are—And, tho' the skies
Look frowning round us, yet methinks a beam
Of day-light breaks upon the doubtful horror!
It lights me—yes, it points the secret path,
I should pursue! Almeyda—trust to me.
