_Rod_. What would you have me do?
_Jul_. Since I must tell thee,
Lead me to some near monastery; there
(Till heaven find out some way to make us happy)
I shall be kept in safety from my brother.
_Rod_. But more from me; what hopes can Rodorick
have,
That she, who leaves him freely, and unforced,
Should ever of her own accord return?
_Jul_. Thou hast too great assurance of my faith,
That, in despite of my own self, I love thee.
Be friends with Manuel, I am thine; 'till when
My honour's. Lead me.
[_Exeunt_.
SCENE III.--_The representation of a Street discovered
by twilight_.
_Enter Don_ MANUEL, _solus_.
_Man_. This is the time and place, where I expect
My fugitive mistress; if I meet with her,
I may forget the wrongs, her brother did me;
If otherwise, his blood shall expiate them.
I hope her woman keeps her ignorant
How all things passed, according to her promise.
_A door opens,--Enter_ ANGELINA _in boy's clothes_.
LEONORA _behind at the door_.
_Leon_. I had forgot to tell him of this habit
She has put on; but sure he'll know her in it.
[_Aside_.
_Man_. Who goes there?
_Ang_. 'Tis Don Manuel's voice; I must run back:
The door shut on me?--Leonora! where?--Does
she not follow me? I am betrayed.
_Man_.
