SCENE X.
MAJONE, VERINO, LELIO.VERINO,
as he is going out, meets Majone.
O say, my friend, canst thou inform me aught
60
MAJONE.
Would to Heaven I had not
So sad a tale of misery to tell!
VERINO.
O! lost again! beyond recovery lost!
MAJONE.
Ill fated youth! now when thy King resolved
To shield thy valor from the shafts of envy!
How hard to perish by a base assassin!
Curse on the envious wretch, the hellish fiend,
Who robbed the world of thy unequalled virtue.
VERINO.
Curse on for ever! search thro' earth and hell
For curses never merited till now!
And pour them all on this devoted head!
I am that wretch! I am that hellish fiend!
I murdered Raymond, I destroyed my son—
MAJONE,
aside.
Blind credulous fool! I leave thee to thy frenzy.
Since I have nothing now to dread from thee,
I haste secure to end the mighty work
Of vengeance and ambition!
(Exit Majone.
