SCENE IV.
As Guyomar is just armed, Odmar and Spanish Soldiers rush in suddenly, seize, and bind him.Odm.
He's caught, in happy season—Bind him sure,
And sear no other arm!—'Tis well, my friends—
Withdraw a while, and share the general plunder;
I have a business to transact in private.
[Exit Spaniards.
Guy.
Accursed Odmar!—O, infernal firebrand,
Made to consume thy country!—thou fell dragon,
Born to devour the inauspicious entrails,
That brought thee to the world!
Odm.
Thou prating boy!
I spare no breath to thy despised reproaches—
Come, Alibech, thy private chamber, love—
[Pulling her away.
Alib.
Help, help, Heaven!—
Ah, Odmar, would'st thou violate the wife
Of thine own brother?
Guy.
Stay, fiend, and meet my vengeance!—Wouldst thou live,
Dispatch me, first, from horrors worse than hell!
For, after such a deed of deep damnation,
One world can never hold us!
Odm.
With my first leisure,
I'll rid thee of thy pains—Come, come along!
