ACT FOUR

Scene.—A chamber in the Castle, opening on the right to a hall, curtained on the left from another chamber. In the rear is a window through which may be seen silvery hills of olive resting under the late afternoon sun: by it a shrine. Enter the Captain of the Guard and a Soldier from the Hall.

Soldier: There is no more?

Captain: Not if you understand.

Soldier: That do I—every link of it! I've served
Under the bold de Montreal, and he
For stratagems—well, Italy knows him!

Captain: You must be quick and secret.

Soldier: As the end
Of the world!

Captain: Our duty's with the duke. But then
Antonio has our love.
