ACT II.
SCENE I. A Chamber of State.
Enter the King crown’d, Philip, Mendozo, Queen, Leonora, Florella, Elvira, Alonzo, Roderigo, Ordonio, Sebastian, Antonio, Officers and Guards; met by Abdelazer follow’d by Osmin, Zarrack, and Moors attending. He comes in with Pride, staring on Philip and Mendozo, and takes his stand next the King.
Phil. Why stares the Devil thus, as if he meant
From his infectious Eyes to scatter Plagues,
And poison all the World? Was he not banish’d?
How dares the Traitor venture into th’ Presence?—
Guards, spurn the Villain forth.
Abd. Who spurns the Moor Were better set his foot upon the Devil— Do, spurn me, and this Hand thus justly arm’d, Shall like a Thunder-bolt, breaking the Clouds, Divide his Body from his Soul—stand back— [To the Guards. Spurn Abdelazer!—
Phil. Death, shall we bear this Insolence?
Alon. Great Sir, I think his Sentence was unjust. [To the King.
Men. Sir, you’re too partial to be judge in this, And shall not give your Voice.
Abd. Proud Cardinal—but he shall—and give it loud. And shall not!—who shall hinder him?
