Band. Ay, plunder!

[Very tumultuous.

Don Cæsar. Hold!

Spado. Ay, captain, let's have a choice rummaging.

[Cocks his Pistol.

Ped. Oh, Lord! there's the barrel-organ!

Don Cæsar. Stop! hold! I command you.

Don Scipio. Oh, heavens! then is Ramirez the terrible captain of the cut-throats—the grand tiger of the cave?—But all my fault! the unnatural parent should be punished in a rebellious child. My life is yours.

Don Cæsar. And I'll preserve it as my own.—Retire, and wait your orders.

[Exeunt all Banditti but Spado.
