SCENE II.—The Palace-Yard. Drums and Trumpets within.
Enter Raymond, Alphonso, Pedro, and their Party.
Raym. Now, valiant citizens, the time is come,
To show your courage, and your loyalty.
You have a prince of Sancho's royal blood,
The darling of the heavens, and joy of earth;
When he's produced, as soon he shall, among you,
Speak, what will you adventure to reseat him
Upon his father's throne?
Omn. Our lives and fortunes.
Raym. What then remains to perfect our success;
But o'er the tyrant's guards to force our way?
470 Omn. Lead on, lead on. [Drums and Trumpets on the other side.
Enter Torrismond and his Party: As they are going to fight, he speaks.
Tor. [To his.] Hold, hold your arms.
Raym. [To his.] Retire.
Alph. What means this pause?
