Scene III.—St. Peter's—The interior of the Church—The Pope at the Altar—Priests, etc., crowding in confusion, and Citizens flying for refuge, pursued by Soldiery.
Enter Cæsar.
A Spanish Soldier. Down with them, comrades, seize upon those lamps!

Plunder hereafter, but for vengeance now—
Yonder stands Anti-Christ!
Cæs. (interposing).How now, schismatic?
