SCENE IX.

Henriques
alone.
We must not yet oppose his rage of sorrow,
But let his passions by degrees subside;
Then, should he still persist in his design,
Force must be us'd to bear him hence—What ho!
Some seamen sure attend with yonder bark:
Come forth, my friends.
[two seamen enter.
Hear and observe my purpose.
We must by force remove Gernando hence,
Who, lost in grief, refuses to depart.
You know where midst yon rocks the limpid stream
Winds its smooth course: that place, o'ergrown with wood,
Seems form'd for ambush; there, 'till he appears,
Conceal'd await; then instant rushing forth,
Seize and convey him to your ship.—Away!

[Exeunt seamen.
