  Card。         I trust forever。

It was a cruel sport。



  Arch。     A barbarous pastime��

Disgraceful to the land that calls itself

Most Catholic and Christian。



  Card。         Yet the people

Murmur at this�察�and�察�if the public dances

Should be condemned upon too slight occasion��

Worse ills might follow than the ills we cure。

As Panem et Circenses was the cry

Among the Roman populace of old��

So Pan y Toros is the cry in Spain。

Hence I would act advisedly herein��

And therefore have induced your Grace to see

These national dances�察�ere we interdict them。



��Enter a Servant��



  Serv。  The dancing´girl�察�and with her the musicians

Your Grace was pleased to order�察�wait without。



  Arch。  Bid them come in。  Now shall your eyes behold

In what angelic�察�yet voluptuous shape

The Devil came to tempt Saint Anthony。



��Enter PRECIOSA�察�with a mantle thrown over her head。  She

advances slowly�察�in modest�察�half´timid attitude。��



  Card。 ��aside��。  O�察�what a fair and ministering angel

Was lost to heaven when this sweet woman fell��



  Prec。 ��kneeling before the ARCHBISHOP��。

I have obeyed the order of your Grace。

If I intrude upon your better hours��

I proffer this excuse�察�and here beseech

Your holy benediction。



  Arch。      May God bless thee��

And lead thee to a better life。  Arise。



  Card。 ��aside��。  Her acts are modest�察�and her words discreet��

I did not look for this�  �Come hither�察�child。

Is thy name Preciosa��



  Prec。       Thus I am called。



  Card。  That is a Gypsy name。  Who is thy father��



  Prec。  Beltran Cruzado�察�Count of the Cales。



  Arch。  I have a dim remembrance of that man��

He was a bold and reckless character��

A sun´burnt Ishmael��



  Card。      Dost thou remember

Thy earlier days��



  Prec。  Yes�察�by the Darro's side

My childhood passed。  I can remember still

The river�察�and the mountains capped with snow

The village�察�where�察�yet a little child��

I told the traveller's fortune in the street��

The smuggler's horse�察�the brigand and the shepherd��

The march across the moor�察�the halt at noon��

The red fire of the evening camp�察�that lighted

The forest where we slept�察�and�察�further back��

As in a dream or in some former life��

Gardens and palace walls。



  Arch。      'T is the Alhambra��

Under whose towers the Gypsy camp was pitched。

But the time wears�察�and we would see thee dance。



  Prec。  Your Grace shall be obeyed。



 ��She lays aside her mantilla。  The music of the cachucha is

played�察�and the dance begins。  The ARCHBISHOP and the CARDINAL

look on with gravity and an occasional frown�察�then make signs to

each other�察�and�察�as the dance continues�察�become more and more

pleased and excited�察�and at length rise from their seats�察�throw

their caps in the air�察�and applaud vehemently as the scene

closes。��







SCENE III。  The Prado。  A long avenue of trees leading to the

gate of Atocha。  On the right the dome and spires of a convent。 

A fountain。 Evening�察�DON CARLOS and HYPOLITO meeting。



  Don C。  Hola� �good evening�察�Don Hypolito。



  Hyp。  And a good evening to my friend�察�Don Carlos。

Some lucky star has led my steps this way。

I was in search of you。



  Don。 C。     Command me always。



  Hyp。 Do you remember�察�in Quevedo's Dreams��

The miser�察�who�察�upon the Day of Judgment��

Asks if his money´bags would rise��



  Don C。              I do��

But what of that��



  Hyp。  I am that wretched man。



  Don C。  You mean to tell me yours have risen empty��



  Hyp。  And amen� �said my Cid the Campeador。



  Don C。  Pray�察�how much need you��



  Hyp。       Some half´dozen ounces��

Which�察�with due interest



  Don C。 ��giving his purse��。  What�察�am I a Jew

To put my moneys out at usury��

Here is my purse。



  Hyp。  Thank you。  A pretty purse。

Made by the hand of some fair Madrilena��

Perhaps a keepsake。



  Don C。  No�察�'t is at your service。



  Hyp。  Thank you again。  Lie there�察�good Chrysostom��

And with thy golden mouth remind me often��

I am the debtor of my friend。



  Don C。         But tell me��

Come you to´day from Alcala��



  Hyp。           This moment。



  Don C。  And pray�察�how fares the brave Victorian��



  Hyp。  Indifferent well�察�that is to say�察�not well。

A damsel has ensnared him with the glances

Of her dark�察�roving eyes�察�as herdsmen catch

A steer of Andalusia with a lazo。

He is in love。



  Don C。  And is it faring ill

To be in love��



  Hyp。     In his case very ill。



  Don C。  Why so��



  Hyp。  For many reasons。  First and foremost��

Because he is in love with an ideal��

A creature of his own imagination��

A child of air�察�an echo of his heart��

And�察�like a lily on a river floating��

She floats upon the river of his thoughts��



  Don C。  A common thing with poets。  But who is

This floating lily�拭 �For�察�in fine�察�some woman��

Some living woman��not a mere ideal��

Must wear the outward semblance of his thought。

Who is it�拭 �Tell me。



  Hyp。       Well�察�it is a woman��

But�察�look you�察�from the coffer of his heart

He brings forth precious jewels to adorn her��

As pious priests adorn some favorite saint

With gems and gold�察�until at length she gleams

One blaze of glory。  Without these�察�you know��

And the priest's benediction�察�'t is a doll。



  Don C。  Well�察�well� �who is this doll��



  Hyp。       Why�察�who do you think��



  Don C。  His cousin Violante。



  Hyp。           Guess again。

To ease his laboring heart�察�in the last storm

He threw her overboard�察�with all her ingots。



  Don C。  I cannot guess�察�so tell me who it is。



  Hyp。  Not I。



  Don。 C。   Why not��



  Hyp。 ��mysteriously��。  Why�拭 �Because Mari Franca

Was married four leagues out of Salamanca��



  Don C。  Jesting aside�察�who is it��



  Hyp。                 Preciosa。



  Don C。  Impossible�  �The Count of Lara tells me

She is not virtuous。



   Hyp。       Did I say she was��

The Roman Emperor Claudius had a wife

Whose name was Messalina�察�as I think��

Valeria Messalina was her name。

But hist� �I see him yonder through the trees��

Walking as in a dream。



  Don C。     He comes this way。



  Hyp。  It has been truly said by some wise man��

That money�察�grief�察�and love cannot be hidden。



��Enter VICTORIAN in front。��



  Vict。  Where'er thy step has passed is holy ground��

These groves are sacred�  �I behold thee walking

Under these shadowy trees�察�where we have walked

At evening�察�and I feel thy presence now��

Feel that the place has taken a charm from thee��

And is forever hallowed。



  Hyp。          Mark him well��

See how he strides away with lordly air��

Like that odd guest of stone�察�that grim Commander

Who comes to sup with Juan in the play。



  Don C。  What ho�  �Victorian��



  Hyp。         Wilt thou sup with us��



  Vict。  Hola� �amigos�  �Faith�察�I did not see you。

How fares Don Carlos��



  Don C。       At your service ever。



  Vict。  How is that young and green´eyed Gaditana

That you both wot of��



  Don C。   Ay�察�soft�察�emerald eyes��

She has gone back to Cadiz。



  Hyp。              Ay de mi��



  Vict。  You are much to blame for letting her go back。

A pretty girl�察�and in her tender eyes

Just that soft shade of green we sometimes see

In evening skies。



  Hyp。  But�察�speaking of green eyes��

Are thine green��



  Vict。     Not a whit。  Why so��



  Hyp。               I think

The slightest shade of green would be becoming��

For thou art jealous。



  Vid。            No�察�I am not jealous。



  Hyp。  Thou shouldst be。



  Vict。                  Why��



  Hyp。    Because thou art in love。

And they who are in love are always jealous。

Therefore thou shouldst be。





  Vict。       Marry�察�is that all��

Farewell�察�I am in haste。  Farewell�察�Don Carlos。

Thou sayest I should be jealous��





  Hyp。            Ay�察�in truth

I fear there is reason。  Be upon thy guard。

I hear it whispered that the Count of Lara

Lays siege to the same citadel。



  Vict。              Indeed��

Then he will have his labor for his pains。



  Hyp。  He does not think so�察�and Don Carlos tells me

He boasts of his success。



  Vict。   How's this�察�Don Carlos��



  Don。 C。  Some hints of it I heard from his own lips。

He spoke but lightly of the lady's virtue��

As a gay man might speak。



  Vict。     Death and damnation��

I'll cut his lying tongue out of his mouth��

And throw it to my dog�  �But no�察�no�察�no��

This cannot be。  You jest�察�indeed you jest。

Trifle with me no more。  For otherwise

We are no longer friends。  And so�察�fare well��

                   ��Exit。



  Hyp。  Now what a coil is here�  �The Avenging Child

Hunting the traitor Quadros to his death��

And the Moor Calaynos�察�when he rode

To Paris for the ears of Oliver��

Were nothing to him�  �O hot´headed youth��

But come�察�we will not follow。  Let us join

The crowd that pours into the Prado。  There

We shall find merrier company�察�I see

The Marialonzos and the Almavivas��

And fifty fans�察�that beckon me already。

                    ��Exeunt。







SCENE IV。  PRECIOSA'S chamber。  She is sitting�察�with a book in

her hand�察�near a table�察�on which are flowers。  A bird singing in

its cage。 The COUNT OF LARA enters behind unperceived。



  Prec。 ��reads��。

     All are sleeping�察�weary heart��

     Thou�察�thou only sleepless art��



Heigho� �I wish Victorian were here。

I know not what it is makes me so restless��



��The bird sings。��



Thou little prisoner with thy motley coat��

That from thy vaulted�察�wiry dungeon singest��

Like thee I am a captive�察�and�察�like thee��

I have a gentle jailer。  Lack´a´day��



     All are sleeping�察�weary heart��

     Thou�察�thou only sleepless art��

     All this throbbing�察�all this aching��

     Evermore shall keep thee waking��

     For a heart in sorrow breaking
