Disgrace has many tongues。  My fears are windows��

Through which all eyes seem gazing。  Every face

Expresses some suspicion of my shame��

And in derision seems to smile at me��



  Hyp。  Did I not caution thee�拭 �Did I not tell thee

I was but half persuaded of her virtue��



  Vict。  And yet�察�Hypolito�察�we may be wrong��

We may be over´hasty in condemning��

The Count of Lara is a cursed villain。



  Hyp。  And therefore is she cursed�察�loving him。



  Vid。  She does not love him� �'T is for gold� �for gold��



  Hyp。  Ay�察�but remember�察�in the public streets

He shows a golden ring the Gypsy gave him��

A serpent with a ruby in its mouth。



  Vict。  She had that ring from me�  �God� �she is false��

But I will be revenged�  �The hour is passed。

Where stays the coward��



  Hyp。     Nay�察�he is no coward��

A villain�察�if thou wilt�察�but not a coward。

I've seen him play with swords�察�it is his pastime。

And therefore be not over´confident��

He'll task thy skill anon。  Look�察�here he comes。



��Enter LARA followed by FRNANCISCO��



  Lara。  Good evening�察�gentlemen。



  Hyp。       Good evening�察�Count。



  Lara。  I trust I have not kept you long in waiting。



  Vict。  Not long�察�and yet too long。  Are you prepared��



  Lara。  I am。



  Hyp。      It grieves me much to see this quarrel

Between you�察�gentlemen。  Is there no way

Left open to accord this difference��

But you must make one with your swords��



  Vict。            No� �none��

I do entreat thee�察�dear Hypolito��

Stand not between me an my foe。  Too long

Our tongues have spoken。  Let these tongues of steel

End our debate。  Upon your guard�察�Sir Count。



��They fight。 VICTORIAN disarms the COUNT。��



Your life is mine�察�and what shall now withhold me

From sending your vile soul to its account��



  Lara。  Strike� �strike��



  Vict。    You are disarmed。  I will not kill you。

I will not murder you。  Take up your sword。



��FRANCISCO hands the COUNT his sword�察�and HYPOLITO interposes。��



  Hyp。  Enough�  �Let it end here�  �The Count of Lara

Has shown himself a brave man�察�and Victorian

A generous one�察�as ever。  Now be friends。

Put up your swords�察�for�察�to speak frankly to you��

Your cause of quarrel is too slight a thing

To move you to extremes。



  Lara。          I am content��

I sought no quarrel。  A few hasty words��

Spoken in the heat of blood�察�have led to this。



  Vict。  Nay�察�something more than that。



  Lara。       I understand you。

Therein I did not mean to cross your path。

To me the door stood open�察�as to others。

But�察�had I known the girl belonged to you��

Never would I have sought to win her from you。

The truth stands now revealed�察�she has been false

To both of us。



  Vict。       Ay�察�false as hell itself��



  Lara。  In truth�察�I did not seek her�察�she sought me��

And told me how to win her�察�telling me

The hours when she was oftenest left alone。



  Vict。  Say�察�can you prove this to me�拭 �O�察�pluck out

These awful doubts�察�that goad me into madness��

Let me know all� �all� �all��



  Lara。      You shall know all。

Here is my page�察�who was the messenger

Between us。  Question him。  Was it not so��

Francisco��



  Fran。    Ay�察�my lord。



  Lara。         If further proof

Is needful�察�I have here a ring she gave me。



  Vict。 Pray let me see that ring�  �It is the same��



��Throws it upon the ground�察�and tramples upon it。��



Thus may she perish who once wore that ring��

Thus do I spurn her from me�察�do thus trample

Her memory in the dust�  �O Count of Lara��

We both have been abused�察�been much abused��

I thank you for your courtesy and frankness。

Though�察�like the surgeon's hand�察�yours gave me pain��

Yet it has cured my blindness�察�and I thank you。

I now can see the folly I have done��

Though 't is�察�alas� �too late。  So fare you well��

To´night I leave this hateful town forever。

Regard me as your friend。 Once more farewell��



  Hyp。  Farewell�察�Sir Count。



   ��Exeunt VICTORIAN and HYPOLITO。



  Lara。  Farewell� �farewell� �farewell��

Thus have I cleared the field of my worst foe��

I have none else to fear�察�the fight is done��

The citadel is stormed�察�the victory won��



��Exit with FRANCISCO。







SCENE VII。  A lane in the suburbs。  Night。  Enter CRUZADO and

BARTOLOME。



  Cruz。  And so�察�Bartolome�察�the expedition failed。  But where

wast thou for the most part��



  Bart。  In the Guadarrama mountains�察�near San Ildefonso。



  Cruz。  And thou bringest nothing back with thee�拭 �Didst thou

rob no one��



  Bart。  There was no one to rob�察�save a party of students from

Segovia�察�who looked as if they would rob us�察�and a jolly little

friar�察�who had nothing in his pockets but a missal and a loaf of

bread。



  Cruz。  Pray�察�then�察�what brings thee back to Madrid��



  Bart。  First tell me what keeps thee here��



  Cruz。  Preciosa。



  Bart。  And she brings me back。  Hast thou forgotten thy

promise��



  Cruz。  The two years are not passed yet。  Wait patiently。  The

girl shall be thine。



  Bart。  I hear she has a Busne lover。



  Cruz。  That is nothing。



  Bart。  I do not like it。  I hate him��the son of a Busne

harlot。  He goes in and out�察�and speaks with her alone�察�and I

must stand aside�察�and wait his pleasure。



  Cruz。  Be patient�察�I say。  Thou shalt have thy revenge。  When

the time comes�察�thou shalt waylay him。



  Bart。  Meanwhile�察�show me her house。



  Cruz。  Come this way。  But thou wilt not find her。  She dances

at the play to´night。



  Bart。  No matter。  Show me the house。

                    ��Exeunt。







SCENE VIII。  The Theatre。  The orchestra plays the cachucha。

Sound of castanets behind the scenes。  The curtain rises�察�and

discovers PRECIOSA in the attitude of commencing the dance。  The

cachucha。  Tumult�察�hisses�察�cries of ;Brava� ─�and ;Afuera� ─ �She

falters and pauses。  The music stops。  General confusion。

PRECIOSA faints。







SCENE IX。  The COUNT OF LARA'S chambers。  LARA and his friends

at supper。



  Lara。  So�察�Caballeros�察�once more many thanks��

You have stood by me bravely in this matter。

Pray fill your glasses。



  Don J。  Did you mark�察�Don Luis��

How pale she looked�察�when first the noise began��

And then stood still�察�with her large eyes dilated��

Her nostrils spread� �her lips apart� �Her bosom

Tumultuous as the sea��



  Don L。        I pitied her。



  Lara。  Her pride is humbled�察�and this very night

I mean to visit her。



  Don J。      Will you serenade her��



  Lara。  No music� �no more music��



  Don L。       Why not music��

It softens many hearts。



  Lara。        Not in the humor

She now is in。  Music would madden her。



  Don J。  Try golden cymbals。



   Don L。      Yes�察�try Don Dinero��

A mighty wooer is your Don Dinero。



  Lara。  To tell the truth�察�then�察�I have bribed her maid。

But�察�Caballeros�察�you dislike this wine。

A bumper and away�察�for the night wears。

A health to Preciosa。



��They rise and drink。��



  All。          Preciosa。



  Lara。  ��holding up his glass��。

Thou bright and flaming minister of Love��

Thou wonderful magician� �who hast stolen

My secret from me�察�and mid sighs of passion

Caught from my lips�察�with red and fiery tongue��

Her precious name�  �O nevermore henceforth

Shall mortal lips press thine�察�and nevermore

A mortal name be whispered in thine ear。

Go� �keep my secret��



��Drinks and dashes the goblet down。��



  Don J。      Ite� �missa est��



��Scene closes。��







SCENE X。  Street and garden wall。  Night。  Enter CRUZADO and

BARTOLOME。



  Cruz。  This is the garden wall�察�and above it�察�yonder�察�is her

house。  The window in which thou seest the light is her window。

But we will not go in now。



  Bart。  Why not��



  Cruz。  Because she is not at home。



  Bart。  No matter�察�we can wait。  But how is this�拭 �The gate is

bolted。  ��Sound of guitars and voices in a neighboring street。��

Hark�  �There comes her lover with his infernal serenade�  �Hark��



SONG。



Good night�  �Good night�察�beloved��

  I come to watch o'er thee��

To be near thee��to be near thee��

Good night�  �Good night beloved��

  While I count the weary hours。



  Cruz。  They are not coming this way。



  Bart。  Wait�察�they begin again。



SONG ��coming nearer��。



Ah� �thou moon that shinest

  Cruz。  Be quiet�察�they are passing down the street。



SONG ��dying away��。



The nuns in the cloister

  Sang to each other��

For so many sisters

  Is there not one brother��

Ay�察�for the partridge�察�mother��

The cat has run away with the partridge��

  Bart。  Follow that� �follow that��

Come with me。 Puss� �puss��



��Exeunt。  On the opposite side enter the COUNT OF LARA and

gentlemen�察�with FRANCISCO。��



  Lara。  The gate is fast。 Over the wall�察�Francisco��

And draw the bolt。  There�察�so�察�and so�察�and over。

Now�察�gentlemen�察�come in�察�and help me scale

Yon balcony。  How now�拭 �Her light still burns。

Move warily。  Make fast the gate�察�Francisco。



��Exeunt。  Re´enter CRUZADO and BARTOLOME。��

garden。 ��Tries the gate。��  Bolted again� �Vive Cristo� �Follow me

over the wall。



��They climb the wall。��

an armchair�察�in an undress。  DOLORES watching her。



  Dol。  She sleeps at last��



��Opens the window�察�and listens。��

And in the garden。  Hark��

Give me my cloak��
