Don Guz. [Within.] Who's there?
Don Ped... [Softly.] Say you are Leonora.
[Dumb Shew of her Unwillingness and his Threatning.
Jacin. [Softly.] 'Tis Leonora.
Don Guz. What are your Commands, Madam? Is it possible so unfortunate a Wretch as I can be capable of serving you?
[Don Ped. whispers Jacinta, who seems backwards to speak.
Jacin. I come to ask you, how cou'd you so far forget that infinite Regard you have professed, as to make an Attempt so dangerous both to yourself and me; and which, with all the Esteem and Love I have ever borne you, you scarce cou'd hope I ever shou'd forgive you.
Don Guz. Alas! my Hopes and Fears were vanish'd too. My Counsel was my Love and my Despair. If they advis'd me wrong, of them complain, for it was you who made 'em my Directors.
Don Ped. [Aside.] The Villain owns the Fact. It seems he thinks he has not so much to fear from her Resentment.——O Torture!
