SCENE III.
MAJONE, EUDORA entering with LELIO, and OTHER ATTENDANTS.EUDORA.
How hard the heart of that unfeeling wretch,
Who strives to banish from the ear of power
The plaintive cries of innocence oppressed!
MAJONE.
Tis not in cruelty itself to bar
49
Shining thro' tears, and lovely in affliction,
Might force obedience from a ruthless savage.
The King, whose presence I am here expecting,
Will surely yield to your resistless prayers,
And clear the honor of your injured Lord.
But see! our Sovereign comes!
