SCENE SIXTH.

DON CARLOS, BLANCHE.
BLANCHE.
What can thus agitate the Queen, my Lord!

D. CARLOS.
Her just rejection and disdain of me.

BLANCHE.
Disdain a hero! who is own'd for King.

D. CARLOS.
Fair Lady! aid not envy thus to mock me;
I have no claim to such a glorious title.

BLANCHE.
The Queen herself believes you Prince of Arragon.
To her your silence has been most ungrateful;
Her generosity to valiant Carlos,
Deserv'd the instant thanks e'en of Don Sancho.
I came to summon your attendance on her.
And see, she comes to give you audience here.
(Exit Blanche.)
