Car. (springing forward to the attendant.)

Oh! take me hence, Diego! take me hence

With thee, that I may see my mother’s face

At morning when I wake. Here dark-brow’d men

Frown strangely, with their cruel eyes, upon us.

Take me with thee, for thou art good and kind,

And well I know thou lov’st me, my Diego!

Abd. Peace, boy!—What tidings, Christian, from thy lord?

Is he grown humbler?—doth he set the lives

Of these fair nurslings at a city’s worth?
